Buddy day is when groups of Primary 6 visit Nursery children to play with them. The buddies are beginning to get to know our children and are doing a great job. It’s lovely to see the older and younger children chatting together as they begin to build relationships. We are looking forward to lots more visits in the future and hope that Primary 6 enjoy their visits too.
Our children are becoming so skilled at baking that they are keen to try lots of new recipes on a regular basis. This session in the Rainbow Room involved learning to make rock buns which required different skills from using the food mixer but the children listened well to instructions and successfully produced a batch of tasty buns. I wonder if any of you have been trying out any baking or cooking at home?
Thank you very much to everyone who purchased from our Book Fair. We raised a total of £1041 which provides the school with £624 worth of free books. Well done everyone!
Thank you for helping us all stay safe by washing hands on arrival in Nursery.

The children in the Raindrop Room spent time recently talking about their emotions as part of a Wellbeing focus. Some of their thoughts were collected on an emotions tree to display in Nursery. We were impressed that the children were able to talk about their emotions and are beginning to understand what can cause them.
Ella: I feel happy when Mummy takes me to the park.
Summer: I’m scared of cobwebs and spiders.
Noah: I’m scared when Daddy puts the light out.
Luca: I’m happy when music is playing.
Freya: I’m scared when I have a bad dream.
William: I’m happy when my friends share with me.
Skye: I’m happy playing with Lola.
Emily: I’m happy when I’m outside with my brother Archie.
Mason: I’m scared of monsters.
Macaulay: I’m scared when Mummy turns the lamp off.
Violeta: I’m happy when I play together with Summer.
Barclay: I’m happy when I go to soft play.
Most children love outdoor play, regardless of the weather, and lots of them don’t seem to feel the cold like us adults but these children were certainly grateful for their delicious hot chocolate drinks on a chilly day. I wonder why food and drink always seem to taste so good outdoors?
We are holding a Nursery story session on Thursday 12th March at 2.30. We would like to invite parents/carers into Nursery to listen to an Easter story with your child. Younger siblings are welcome to join us. We hope to hold more of these story sessions as the year progresses.
A reply slip is in your child’s tray to confirm attendance. We look forward to seeing lots of you then.
The Rainbow Room children were learning recently about their bodies and thought about what is inside them. We looked at images of skeletons in books and added some X-rays to the hospital role play area to stimulate discussion about our bodies. This resulted in some super art work based on skeletons which we would like to share.

After visits to the Technology and Music departments at Annan Academy in the past, our next invitation came from Miss Nixon, the school librarian. As you can see, this little group was very relaxed and happy in the Academy library and thoroughly enjoyed Miss Nixon’s story telling.
Miss Nixon has kindly invited us to visit her on a regular basis for the rest of term so lots of children will have the opportunity to enjoy this super experience. Thank you to the staff at Annan Academy for continuing to make us feel so welcome and, of course, to the children who made us very proud of their behaviour and interaction with the story telling.

As part of our global citizenship, we have water containers for the children to add any spare coins to make a contribution to the charity WaterAid and we are delighted that some have already kindly put coins in our bottle.
WaterAid is an international not-for-profit organisation, determined to make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for everyone, everywhere within a generation. They work in 38 countries across Africa, Asia, Central America and the Pacific Region to transform lives in some of the world’s poorest communities.
Around 289,000 children die each year from diarrhoeal diseases caused by dirty water and poor sanitation. That’s nearly 800 children each day, or one child every two minutes. We would like to make a small contribution to make a difference for these children by collecting any spare change you may have.
If you would like to find out more about WaterAid, you can visit www.wateraid.org, follow @WaterAidUK on Twitter or visit their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/wateraid.
We would appreciate your support in our efforts to help the children in this project and any spare coins in our water container will be gratefully received. Thank you to those who have already been kind enough to make a contribution.
