Huge congratulations to these two recent award winners. You thoroughly deserved your certificates and we are very proud of you.
Congratulations
Red Nose Day
Wear your pyjamas and/or crazy hair was the Hecklegirth challenge on Red Nose Day and the Nursery children took part with great enthusiasm. Thank you very much to everyone who made a donation – the Nursery children did so well to raise £51.18 out of a grand school total of £225 which we are sure will help a very worthy cause. We hope you enjoy these happy faces.
Word Of The Week
Our ‘Word of the Week’ in the Raindrop Room will be ‘unique’ this week, focussing on our individuality, while the Rainbow Room will be learning to use the term ‘solidify’ as part of discussions about their science experiments.
Buddy Excitement
Oscar and Letti’s family enjoyed our photos of the Primary 6 buddies visiting Nursery:
“Lovely to see to see a big sister playing with her wee brother and sister. Harli is so excited to become a buddy!”
Primary 6 are doing a super job and we think that they will make great buddies.
Signs Of Spring
Some of the children from the Raindrop Room paid a visit to the school nature area recently. Armed with clipboards, pictures and a lot of excitement they headed off to look for signs of Spring. The children were delighted to find the beginnings of Spring in evidence, finding some daffodils and buds on plants, but we think that the weather needs to get a little warmer before we can say it really feels like Spring.
Red Nose Day
We would like to remind you that tomorrow, March 15th, is Red Nose Day and children can wear their pyjamas and/or crazy hair to raise money for Comic Relief.
Puddle Paddling
As well as the children learning about the weather and how to record it, they also have great fun enjoying all weathers in outdoor play. It is difficult to resist a great big puddle so this little group decided to investigate it when they spotted it in the school playground. Who needs sunshine to enjoy outdoor play? This puddle paddling was much more fun.
Weather Watch
Weather watching is very popular in both rooms in our Nursery. Wind socks, thermometers and rain gauges are checked on a daily basis and the children’s findings are recorded. The children have used the camera to record evidence on their equipment and have begun to record temperatures on charts, developing independence, taking on responsibilities and developing their numeracy skills.
Performance Area
A performance area has been created in the Raindrop Room recently as the children have shown enthusiasm for forming little bands and using the microphones to perform to their friends. Here is a snapshot of the stage and audience one morning recently. As you can see, we have no shortage of enthusiastic performers and the children also enjoy being an audience.

Imagination And Creativity
Children’s imagination and creativity never cease to amaze us. These photos captured the play of a little group who decided to make their own fire engine immediately after our recent fire practice. They used materials in the garden to create their own engine complete with wheels and hoses then spent ages playing imaginatively in it. Great work children!
