World Book Day

World Book Day is a great opportunity to celebrate our favourite books and to encourage the children to enjoy stories. This year, as part of a whole school celebration, the children were encouraged to to bring in their favourite books and some also decided to dress up which was lovely.
We were very lucky to have Primary 6 in Nursery as super visiting storytellers which produced a lovely reading afternoon for all. Thank you to all our families for participating in World Book Day. Staff and Primary 6 enjoyed sharing the stories from home.

Buddy Day

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.

Skilled Bakers

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?

Our Emotions Tree

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.

Story Session

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.

Skeletons

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.

Story Telling Visit

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.
