As promised, here are photos of the children enjoying an afternoon visit to the police station. Just as with the morning children, they behaved beautifully and made us very proud. Thank you so much to the parents and grandparents who came along with us, we hope that you enjoyed a visit out in the community with the children.
This week’s visit to the police station was a great learning experience. We were shown round the cells, as well as the rooms in the police station used for interviews and fingerprinting, and we found out what happens when someone is brought in to the police station. Some of the children tried out the hard beds and, although they thought it was great fun to try them out, most agreed that they would not like to sleep there.
The police van, of course, was very popular and most had a turn at sitting in the front and the back of the van. The blue light and siren caused great excitement although some had to cover their ears, the noise was so loud.
Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who came with us on this visit – we appreciate your support. Thank you also to P.C. Leggett for answering some tricky questions and making us feel so welcome. These photos provide a taste of the morning children’s visit. We will post photos of the afternoon visit soon.
As promised, here are photos of the afternoon children visiting the fire station last week. They all enjoyed lots of fun learning just like the morning children. Thank you so much to all the parents and grandparents who came with us on our visit – we appreciate your help and support.

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.
Enid’s family is pleased to hear about our recent visits to Primary 6:
“This is such a good idea, I’m sure it will go along way to help the little ones settle into school.”
The children are certainly growing in confidence as they build relationships with the older pupils and Primary 6 are showing great responsibility in their role too.
As promised, here are the photos of the afternoon children enjoying singing with our Primary 6 buddies. Well done Primary 6 for providing the Nursery children with a lovely learning experience. We look forward to seeing you again soon in Nursery.

Instead of our usual walk with the Primary 6 buddies on Monday, we had a lovely invitation to visit them in their classroom this week. After a long climb up the big stairs, which everyone found very exciting, we finally arrived on the top floor of the school and found Primary 6 all ready for us in a big circle. We joined them in the circle and had great fun learning several songs with our buddy friends.
Here are the morning children having a great time with Primary 6. We have photos from our afternoon visit too which we will post soon. Thank you so much to Primary 6 and Mr. Stevenson for taking the time to plan such a fun activity for us and for making our little children feel so welcome. They were all very excited about their visit to “the big school”.
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.
Over the past few weeks Monday has become the day for some of our children to enjoy a walk with our kind and helpful Primary 6 buddies. As part of the whole school Daily Mile activity, we have been looking after our Health and Wellbeing by taking a stroll round the school outdoor area. There have been some great chats along the way and we are very impressed by the way that Primary 6 has learned to engage in conversation with our younger pupils, finding out what they are interested in and chatting to them about it. Thank you to Primary 6 for giving us your time – our children really look forward to your visits.
We paid a little visit to the Book Fair in school today and enjoyed having a look at all the super books on display. We even managed time to read some to help us decide what kind of books we might like. It was great to see the children so enthusiastic about stories and we felt proud of their super behaviour and manners in the wider school environment.
