Thursday 5th January, will be the start of term and we are looking forward to seeing everyone again, along with the six new children who will also be getting ready for their first day. We hope that they are excited to be starting Nursery and are looking forward to making new friends. No doubt everyone will make them feel welcome and we hope that this is the beginning of a happy experience for the children and their families.
Our morning session will have a soft start, as usual, between 8.45 and 9.10. The afternoon session will begin at 12.15. We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday.
Foam Fun
Towards the end of term the children enjoyed experimenting with foam on a small table. Some took the opportunity to draw in the foam or write their names while others loved the sensory experience and were able to talk about how the foam felt and smelled which encouraged literacy skills as the children thought about their choice of words. Above all, they had great fun as we hope you can see from these photos.
Don’t Forget Rudolph
The afternoon children were equally excited to make food for Santa’s reindeer at the end of term and some told Santa about it at their party. Don’t forget to put it out tonight boys and girls – let’s hope that all that glitter will help Rudolph and his friends find their way to your houses.
Reindeer Food
The last few weeks have been so busy in Nursery as we learned the songs for our Christmas celebration, made cards and decorations, decorated the tree, made chocolate shapes for the Christmas Fayre … but one of the most important jobs of all was making our reindeer food. Here are some photos of the morning children busy with their preparations.
Christmas Jumper Day
The last day of term was “Christmas Jumper Day” and most joined in with the festive fun, putting a smile on everyone’s face with your fantastic jumpers. Lots of the children were very keen to perform Jingle Bells so they turned the climbing unit into a stage and sang their hearts out to get in the festive spirit. We hope that these photos make you feel as happy as the children felt on Wednesday.
Award Winners
Here are the award winners from last week, looking delighted with their achievements. Well done to both of you!
Christmas Holiday
We hope that everyone enjoys the Christmas holiday with their family. Nursery is closed until Thursday 5th January 2017 but I still have some photos to share from last term so I will post them here over the next week or two.
More Party Fun
Here are the promised photos that show that the party spirit was just as evident in the afternoon party as the morning one. As you can see, they joined in the dancing and games with enthusiasm and were also lucky enough to get a visit from Santa.

Little Visitors
Mrs. Mahon, the Primary 2 teacher, enjoyed seeing the photos of the children who visited her classroom to make ice homes:
“Lovely seeing P2 working so nicely with our little visitors! Come back again soon!”
Thank you for inviting us and thank you to the Primary 2 children for looking after our little Nursery group – great teamwork everyone.
Party Time
A fun time was had by all at our Christmas parties today with something for everyone, be it games, dancing or party food. The children were also delighted to have a visit from Santa, despite it being such a busy time of year for him. Thank you Santa – we all really appreciated your visit.
The photos below give you a taste of our morning party and photos of the afternoon party will follow in the next day or two.
