Learning about our community and the jobs that people do has provided inspiration for some of the children’s drawings and paintings over the past week as they talked about the buildings and vehicles as well as people. Watch out also in Nursery for the street that the children have created in the craft area. Here is a small selection of the drawings and paintings that they have produced. Click then click again on the photos to see the names of the artists.
As part of our recent learning experience at Annan fire station, the children learned about staying safe out and about in our community. As well as finding out about the job of a fire officer, they took on the roles of different vehicles, as well as a police officer and lollipop person, to help them work out the safe way to make a journey. Jane and Jamie were very impressed with the children’s knowledge and we were pleased to hear that they had listened so well to advice from their families and Nursery staff about staying safe.

We hope that you have enjoyed looking through the children’s special books with them at home. We would like to remind you to please return them tomorrow, Wednesday 21st March, along with the comment sheet which has been added to your child’s book as part of our ongoing evaluation.
Thank you to those who have already taken the time to share their thoughts with us about their child’s progress. We greatly value your views.
We would like to remind you that the children will be visiting Annan police station tomorrow, Wednesday 21st March. Please ensure that they have warm coats and are wearing suitable footwear for a walk. Thank you to all those parents who have agreed to come with us. We are looking forward to an exciting visit.
As promised, here are photos of the afternoon children visiting the fire station last week. They all enjoyed lots of fun learning just like the morning children. Thank you so much to all the parents and grandparents who came with us on our visit – we appreciate your help and support.

As part of learning about different jobs in our community, we had an exciting trip out last week when we visited the fire station. Fortunately the weather was kind, if a little chilly, and we enjoyed a lovely walk there in the sunshine. The children got a close up view of the equipment in a fire engine, as well as the fire officer’s uniform, and put their hands to their ears as the blue lights and siren were turned on. Of course, no visit to the fire station is complete without getting an opportunity to sit up in the fire engine and try out the big hose which was great highlight for everyone.
Huge thanks go to all the fire fighters who looked after us and made our visit such fun as well as to the parents who accompanied us – without parent helpers these trips out would not be possible. We hope that you enjoy these photos of the morning children and will post photos soon of our afternoon visit.

Enid’s family is pleased to hear about our recent visits to Primary 6:
“This is such a good idea, I’m sure it will go along way to help the little ones settle into school.”
The children are certainly growing in confidence as they build relationships with the older pupils and Primary 6 are showing great responsibility in their role too.
