Leah’s family has been looking at the photos of some of the children’s science experiments:
“Leah loved doing science experiments and told us all about it . We saw a book in Aldi with children’s science experiments and we are going to do some at home too . Thank you.”
Well done Leah for talking about your learning at home and it’s great to hear that you are carrying on with your experiments with your family. I hope that you have lots of fun.
Huge congratulations to these recent award winners. We love their happy smiles as they received their certificates.
In the Rainbow Room ‘reflect’ is “Word of the Week” whereas the Raindrop Room is focussing on the word ‘team’.
Our children have become very interested in doing experiments this year and one of their favourites was when they were science wizards, making a fizzy potion. They listened carefully to instructions as they measured vinegar and washing-up liquid in to a jar. As with all good potion mixing, they children had to give it a good stir and a few magic words before adding baking soda to produce an exciting fizzy fountain. As you can imagine, we had to try this out several times and used different quantities of ingredients each time, including some food colouring, to observe what happened. Science is such fun!
Leo’s family has been looking at our photos of the recent visit of the steam train to Annan:
“Leo loved seeing the steam train he was so excited to tell us all about it.”
Well done Leo for sharing your news at home with your family. It certainly was exciting.
Regardless of weather, most of the children love outdoor play and those in the Rainbow Room particularly enjoy it when the big puddle appears in the outdoor area. Bikes, tyres, balls, scooters … everything is different when used in water and the children love experimenting in this type of environment. Adding bubbles to the puddle adds to the excitement and, as you can see, everyone just has great fun.
We seem to have had so many activities to share lately that we are still catching up with a few from last term. This little gallery gives you a feel for the Spring flowers that children in the Raindrop Room created as they began to talk about the changing season.
As we begun our learning about growing and to talk about the changing seasons at the end of last term, the children in the Rainbow Room planted cress seeds. They showed great care with their seeds and many showed good knowledge of what they needed to do to make them grow. The good thing about cress is that it grows very quickly so we soon had a little box to taste with our snack and, of course, we all know that things you make yourself always taste better.
Many of the children in Nursery are interested in trains and our train set is one of our most popular resources so when we heard that a steam train would be passing through Annan at the end of last week we decided to try to catch a glimpse of it. Some of the children went a walk to Annan station and some watched for the train from the playground and we were not disappointed when it sped past looking very impressive.

Huge congratulations to our recent award winners who are looking very happy with their certificates. Well done both of you. We are sure that your families will be as proud of you as we are.
