Road Safety

As part of our recent learning experience at Annan fire station, the children learned about staying safe out and about in our community. As well as finding out about the job of a fire officer, they took on the roles of different vehicles, as well as a police officer and lollipop person, to help them work out the safe way to make a journey. Jane and Jamie were very impressed with the children’s knowledge and we were pleased to hear that they had listened so well to advice from their families and Nursery staff about staying safe.

Fire Station Visit

As part of learning about different jobs in our community, we had an exciting trip out last week when we visited the fire station. Fortunately the weather was kind, if a little chilly, and we enjoyed a lovely walk there in the sunshine. The children got a close up view of the equipment in a fire engine, as well as the fire officer’s uniform, and put their hands to their ears as the blue lights and siren were turned on. Of course, no visit to the fire station is complete without getting an opportunity to sit up in the fire engine and try out the big hose which was great highlight for everyone.
Huge thanks go to all the fire fighters who looked after us and made our visit such fun as well as to the parents who accompanied us – without parent helpers these trips out would not be possible. We hope that you enjoy these photos of the morning children and will post photos soon of our afternoon visit.

Tesco Take Two

Just like the morning children, those in the afternoon thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Tesco last week. Thank you again to all those parents who accompanied us and to Tesco for such an informative visit. We really appreciate the opportunity for the children to learn about their local community and the world of work.

Tesco Visitors

There were some young visitors at Tesco last week as Nursery children visited the store to learn about what happens in the shop and behind the scenes. They worked well on their shopping task in the fruit aisle and had to think hard about finding different numbers of fruit and vegetables in various colours. The walk-in fridge and freezer were a bit chilly for some but we soon warmed up in the bakery and at the delicatessen. The tills were great fun too.
We would like to say huge thanks to all the staff at Tesco who were so patient and kind. The children thoroughly enjoyed their visit and we all appreciate the time you took to show them round the store. Thank you also to those parents who gave the time to make our visit possible. Here are the morning children busy in the store. Photos of the afternoon children will follow soon.

Bookbug Rhyme Time

This week some of the morning children were invited to a Bookbug Rhyme Time event, kindly arranged by Annan library staff, at Newington Sports Centre. Fortunately the weather was kind so our first walk out in the community was very pleasant and the children enjoyed lots of participation in rhyme activities. The Bookbug character joined in some of the songs and games with us which added to the fun for everyone and there was lots of opportunity to practise those all important rhymes. Thank you very much to those parents/carers who gave up their time to accompany us on Tuesday. We really appreciate your help.
