Just look at the happy smiles of last week’s award winners! Well done to both of you. You really deserved your certificates.

Dancing
Nancy’s family enjoyed the photos of the children trying out some Scottish dancing:
“Nancy loves to dance. What a great picture of Nancy enjoying dancing with Bethany 😊”
She certainly showed great enthusiasm for dancing. We are glad that you had fun with the Scottish music and dancing Nancy.
Buddy Day
Monday is buddy day when Primary 6 visit Nursery children to play with them. All the buddies have now visited both morning and afternoon sessions to get to know our children and they are doing a great job. It’s lovely to see the older and younger children chatting together as they build relationships. We are looking forward to lots more visits in the future and hope that Primary 6 are enjoying their visits too.
A Touch O’ Tartan
We would like to remind you that we plan to celebrate Burn’s Day with a small celebration tomorrow, Thursday 25th January. It would add to the occasion if the children could wear a little ‘touch o’ tartan’. Hopefully most of them have or can borrow a hairband, a ribbon or a scarf for the day and anyone who has a kilt or a tartan outfit would certainly help us to celebrate the day in style. If your child does not have anything tartan, please do not buy anything new as this is a very informal occasion and they will hopefully enjoy themselves regardless of what they are wearing.
Terrific Tartan
Over the past week the children have been learning a little about Scotland and Robert Burns. We have been looking at tartan in the art area where some super work has been created and a display is now up in Nursery. As well as sticking different coloured strips to design tartan, they have been creating patterns with paint and different sizes of rollers so we thought that we would share this little gallery with you. I wonder if anyone can spot their own tartan? Click then click again on photos to see the artist’s name.
Primary 1 Enrolment
We would like to remind you that Primary 1 enrolment takes place on Thursday 25th and Friday 26th January for children who will be five years old by the end of February 2019. You should enrol at your catchment school between 9.00 and 3.30. If you wish to apply for a place at another primary school, please inform staff at your catchment school and you will be given a Placement Request Form when enrolling. If you are unsure of your catchment school, please use the “find the nearest” link on the www.dumgal.gov.uk website.
You should take your child’s birth certificate together with proof that you live permanently at your address, for example, Council Tax bill, recent utility bill or bank statement.
If you have any queries regarding the enrolment, please speak to Nursery staff or contact the school office.
Dancing To Bagpipes
Bethany’s Mum posted a comment to say that she liked the photo of her dancing to Scottish music:
“Bethany loves the bagpipes it’s great to see her dancing and enjoying.”
She certainly looks very happy in that photo and she did love dancing along to the music. Great dancing Bethany!
The Sound Of Scottish Music
As part of our learning about Scotland, we put on some Scottish music this week and the children have loved it. They had great fun enthusiastically dancing to the sound of the pipes and pretending to march to the music while playing the drums. I wonder if any of them will take up Highland dancing or be part of a pipe band in the future?
Thank You
Another of the parents of one of our youngest new children has found his photo on the blog:
“Aww my big boy outside playing”
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. We are pleased that our new families are enjoying our news and photos.
Congratulations
