Christmas Comments

Emma’s Mum has been enjoying our photos of the party:

“Emma loved meeting Santa. Thank you to everyone involved. xx”

“Fun and games. Looks like everyone is having fun. Emma said she’d had great fun.”

Emma and her Mum enjoyed Eileen’s Family Learning Christmas activities too:

“We had a great time making the Christmas Card, Tree decoration and most of all our Rudolph sandwich. He was lucky to make it home in one piece as it was blowing a gale when we left!! Thank you Eileen your ideas are great.”

Those reindeer sandwiches have been very popular – I wonder if anyone will make one to leave for Santa on Christmas Eve?

Party Spirit

The party spirit was just as evident in the afternoon Christmas party as the morning one and here are the photos that show it. As you can see, they joined in the dancing and games with enthusiasm and were also lucky enough to get a visit from Santa. As with the photos of the morning children, please click then click again to make the photos clearer.

Party Time

Music, dancing, games and party food made for a fun Christmas party last week in Nursery. The children from the Rainbow and Sunshine Rooms played happily and confidently together and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. It must have been the children’s super behaviour that brought the arrival of Santa despite his heavy workload at the moment. Thank you Santa – we all really appreciated your visit.

The photos below give you a taste of our morning party. Don’t they look wonderful in their party clothes? Photos of the afternoon party will follow soon.

Christmas Celebration

We hope that you are all looking forward to our Christmas celebration later this week. Afternoon parents can join us on Wednesday (17.12.14) at 2.30 and morning parents on Thursday (18.12.14) at 11.30. The Nursery door will be opened for entry through the usual entrance and parents/carers can park in the John Bell car park.
We are keeping our Christmas celebration informal to encourage the children to enjoy a relaxed and happy performance of the songs they have been learning. Rev. McGougan has kindly agreed to join us again, despite a jam-packed diary, and we are delighted that many of our families have indicated that they would like to be part of our celebration. As you can see, the children are practising to make sure you enjoy their songs. We look forward to seeing you later this week.

Sticky Kids Christmas Show

Great fun and laughter was had by all at the “Sticky Kids” show this week. It was lovely to join children from other local nurseries in a super Christmas celebration of singing and dancing. As you can see, several of our children showed great confidence to go on stage as part of the show and everyone sang enthusiastically along with all the songs. Thank you to all those families who contributed to the children’s calendar enterprise project which paid for this show. We really appreciate your support and the children all had a brilliant time.

Deferred Year

The parents of those children who have birthdays between September and February, and are due to start school in August 2015, should now have a letter explaining the options re a deferred year in Nursery.
An information leaflet and application forms will be available soon in Nursery for those who wish to apply for a deferred year. Please ask staff for copies if you are interested in this option. The final application date is normally in mid January.
We hope that you take the opportunity to speak to staff if you are unsure about your child’s readiness to move to Primary 1 next year as we will be happy to discuss this.
