Chloe and Joshua H’s families have been looking at the photos of the children on the tractor and meeting our little lamb visitor.
“Looks like everyone had fun. Really smiley faces in this picture. Chloe’s been enjoying all the visits recently.”
“Joshua looks like he really enjoyed sitting in the tractor. What a smile 😊 x “ and “Joshua looks happy 👍. Good photo of all the children.”
Thank you for taking time to leave comments. The children did really enjoy their day.
Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, has left a message for everyone:
“Thanks to everyone who came along to the Peep learning Together Family sessions today. This session was all about names – our names and our children’s names. I think the children really enjoyed writing their names and drawing pictures in the rainbow salt trays. The story today was about a visit to the Zoo and our favourite animals.
Next week we will be testing different kinds of play dough, including soap dough and making some play dough to take home. All welcome – come and join us.”
This sounds like a lot of fun! I have some photos from earlier today and hope to post them on the blog in the near future. Next PEEP session will be on Tuesday of next week if you like the sound of these type of activities and want to join in.
Vinnie’s family has been looking at the photos of the children on the tractor:
“Look at Vinnies funny face!!”
Yes, that is a good face Vinnie – I didn’t notice that when putting lots of photos on. It certainly looks like you were having fun.
We would like to remind you that the children will be visiting Annan fire station tomorrow, Wednesday 26th April. 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.
We would like to remind everyone that the PEEP (Parents Early Education Partnership) sessions with Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, start tomorrow Tuesday 25th April. They will be held in Eileen’s room at 9-10 and 12.15-1.15. Further sessions will be on the 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th May. We hope that those taking part enjoy these sessions.
Lily’s family has been looking at the photos of our RHET visit. They liked the photo of the girls on the tractor: “Aww lovely photo of Lily and Francesca!”
The photos with the lamb have also caught their eye:
“Lily has been telling me all about ‘George the lamb’ and how he gets milk from his mummy! She also says he’s 1month old??!”
I’m not sure that George is quite as young as that but he is a pet lamb still being looked after by Mrs. Ker.
Callum’s family has been looking at the photos from our RHET visit last week.
“WOW what a great day it was. Callum came home buzzing. He absolutely loved having the Massey Ferguson at Nursery. Farmer for the future, I think so😉.”
“Aw love this photo of Callum with the lamb. He is very good with animals. I can’t believe the size of the lamb he said, it’s just a a baby
”
It was a great day. We’re glad to hear that Callum enjoyed it so much.
As promised, here is snapshot gallery of the afternoon children enjoying the activities organised last week for us by RHET. As you can see from the happy faces, they enjoyed the visit by the tractor from Carr’s and our cute little lamb visitor just as much as the morning children. Thank you again to Fiona, Mrs. Ker and Carr’s for providing a great learning experience for the children. I wonder if we have any farmers of the future here?

Primary 6 are launching their cross-generational digital club on Wednesday at 9.30 – 10.30 in the school’s ICT suite. Parents and grandparents who need help with technology can pop in for a cup of tea and a cake while they get some top advice on using a computer from the trained helpers of Primary 6. The children are really excited about this and want to make it a success so why not pop along on Wednesday for an hour of fun learning?
On Thursday of this week we had a fantastic visit from RHET (The Royal Highland Education Trust) who provided the opportunity for the children to see a tractor and a lamb close up. Although a few children were initially a little shy of our visiting lamb, by the end of the visit most were stroking and brushing him. Thank you to Mrs. Ker for giving up her time to help the children learn so much about looking after a lamb. This was an experience they will all remember.
Thanks also go to local company Carr’s for providing a shiny new tractor for the children to explore and learn about. As you can see from the happy smiles, they all loved sitting up in the cab and finding out about the different switches and how the tractor is used. They compared the wheels to themselves in size, counted the bolts and made rubbings of the numbers and letters on the tyres. It really was amazing to them all how huge the tractor was close up.
Finally we would like to thank Fiona Jamieson, the project co-ordinator, who was so helpful in arranging this visit, ensuring all Health and Safety rules were followed and that the children had a great learning experience.
Here are photos of the some of the morning children. Afternoon photos will follow soon.
