We would like to remind you that tomorrow, Friday 3rd March, is the day for class photos. These will be taken at around 10.30 and 12.45 so please bring your child to school for those times if he/she does not normally attend on a Friday but would like to be part of the class photo. Please use the main school entrance as the Nursery gate will be locked at that time.
Clever Girl
Georgia’s family was impressed with her making toast on the fire last week, leaving a post saying “Clever girl”. The children have certainly learned quickly what to do when we have a fire and always behave very safely and sensibly when we make one. The toast tastes delicious too.
Book Fair Visit
Library Walk
Tomorrow, March 2nd, is World Book Day and all school and Nursery children are invited to dress as their favourite book character and to bring their favourite book to share with others. We would like to remind you that we will also be taking the children to Annan library so ask that whatever the children choose to wear is practical and warm enough for the walk. Thank you for your help.
What Type of Stories Do You Like?
With World Book Day in a couple of days time, we have been talking to the children about the type of books that they enjoy.
Chloe: I like Peppa. Mummy and Daddy read to me.
Leah P: my Nana reads to me. I like pirate books.
James: I like Peppa Pig.
George: I like dinosaur books.
Summer: my favourite books are princess ones. Daddy reads to me.
Tom: I like the Batman one.
Harris: I like books about water. My Mummy and Daddy buy me books.
Edward: I like Lightning McQueen books. He’s a racing car and he has eyes on. Mummy reads with me every day.
Danielle: I like Cinderella. Daddy reads to me.
Ava: I like unicorn books.
Alyssa: I like “Hungry Caterpillar”. Mummy reads to me.
Eli: Mummy and Daddy read to me. I like comic books like Batman.
Mason: I like Superman stories.
Sally: I like the caterpillar one.
Crue: I like monster books.
It sounds like those mummies and daddies are very busy telling stories and it’s great to hear about all the different types of books that the children like. I wonder what stories we will hear on our visit to the library on Thursday?
Great Fun
Lily’s family has been looking at the photos of the children in the ambulance with Derek the paramedic:
“This looks like great fun! Lily was telling us all about it when she came home!😊”
The children did enjoy Derek’s visit and it’s good to hear that Lily’s sharing her news at home. Well done Lily.
Super Concentration
Joshua H’s family likes the photo of him making toast on the fire:
“Joshua loves experimenting with & making food & doing different activities. He’s concentrating so much in this photo, he would of been in his element.”
You are right. Joshua does look as if he is concentrating well. You can’t beat making your own snack outdoors – I’ve not seen the children so enthusiastic about toast for a while.
Book Fair
Don’t forget that the school book fair is on in the school library all week and parents can call in every day between 3.00 and 3.30. Nursery children will also go together for a look at the books on offer on Wednesday.
Well Done Quinn
Quinn’s family has been enjoying her recent mentions on the blog. They are understandably proud of her recent well deserved certificate for super problem solving:
“Quinn was so excited to get this. Almost as excited as her mam and dad. Well done Quinn keep up the excellent work. Xx”
They are right Quinn – it was excellent work. They are also pleased that Quinn is able to share her ideas when we have group discussions. This time is was about who we love and why.
“Nice to read that Quinn takes part in these conversations. X”
It’s lovely to see, as the year progresses, how much more confident the children are to share their thoughts and ideas with others.
Toast in the Rain
The afternoon boys and girls have been asking for a little while if we could have another fire but the weather seems to have been against us each time we have planned to do it so we decided last week to experiment with a fire under our outdoor canopy. As you can see, this was a great success and it was lovely to make toast on the fire while the rain trickled down on the canopy roof. It’s amazing how many pieces of toast were made that day and the thick slathering of jam seemed to make it particularly tasty.
