Thank you to Alex from Primary 6 for her kind comment on helping out in Nursery:
“I had a great time in the nursery with the wee ones.”
You are all doing a good job and the Nursery children obviously enjoy your visits so keep up the good work Primary 6. Thank you Alex for taking the time to look at our blog.
Part of our learning about our community is to develop an understanding of which jobs people can do and where they work. We have been looking at photos of a range of buildings in Annan and discussing what happens in them. The children are beginning to think about their community and we are having some interesting discussions about it.
Here are a few of their ideas about the police station.
Savannah: the police take away the bad people.
Mary: if we lose things we go to the police.
Rebecca: my Mummy lost her purse so we went to the police station.
Max: you ask a policeman if you get lost.
Mikey: the police have a car that goes vroom.
Dan: the police arrest people that’s bad.
Ben: police put the bad men in jail.
Archie: policemen work in the police station.
We think that P.C. Leggett will be impressed by the children’s knowledge when we visit the police station. He is looking forward to our visit when we can learn more about his job.
As we begin to learn about our community and the jobs that people do there, the children are showing an interest in painting some of the vehicles that are used as part of people’s work. As you can see, fire engines and ambulances are the current favourites.
We would be delighted if parents/carers were able to come in to chat to the children about their jobs. It makes no difference what your job is, the children love to have visitors and it helps them to understand the world of work that they will become part of in the future. Please speak to staff if you are able to help us in this way.
Bethany’s family enjoyed the comments about love and how we can show it:
“This really made us laugh, thank you!”
The children do come with some lovely ideas don’t they?
We hope that everyone has enjoyed having their “special books” home. No doubt your families will be very proud of all your achievements. Thank you to those who returned their books to Nursery today and to those who took the time to complete our comment sheet.
We ask that all the “special books” are returned tomorrow (21.2.14)Â to allow staff to continue to record achievements. However, please remember that the books are on display in Nursery for you to pick up at any time.
Last week we talked about Valentine’s Day and what it means. The children were keen to share their ideas on who they love and why. We also discussed what they could do to show someone that they loved them. We thought that you might enjoy a few of their ideas.
Ava V.: Auntie Sarah reads me stories. I love my family and friends. I can give them hugs to make them happy.
Archie: I love my baby brother and draw pictures for him.
Bethany: you can tickle them to make them happy.
Finlay: I give my Granny a big kiss.
Dan: I could make sandcastles for them.
Freya: be nice. It makes them happy. Mum took me to Disney On Ice. I got a special dress.
Riley: we can give them kisses to make them happy. My Mum takes us to the park.
Ben: Grandma gets me toys and lots of sleepovers.
Max: I get lots of cuddles and kisses.
Sophie S.: my Mummy gives me cuddles. I love my Daddy too. I make him pictures of me.
Darcey G.: I give Mummy cuddles.
Theo: we go to the ice hockey together.
Mikey: I love my Mummy. She gives me hugs.
Thank you to Sophie’s Mum for making a comment on her monster picture:
“sophie.s had great fun making her monster picture and she was very proud of it.”
She made a super job of her monster and should be proud. Well done Sophie S.
We would like to remind you that there will be no Nursery for the children on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week due to a mid-term holiday and two INSET days for staff. We hope that you enjoy your time off and look forward to seeing you all again on Thursday (20.2.14).
Sophie’s Mum enjoyed looking at all the dragons:
“All the Dragons look fab, we had a great time making ours.”
We think that they are super too. Thank you to all the families who took part in this activity with their children.
As we have been talking about dragons, as part of our learning about Chinese New Year, we set you a challenge of making a Hecklegirth monster or dragon at home with your families. We have some very creative drawings and models arrive in Nursery and we think that they are all wonderful. The children are always so pleased to share what they have done with their families and it helps to make those important links between Nursery and home.
We hope you enjoy our little gallery showing some of the fantastic Hecklegirth monsters and dragons. Well done everyone!
