Confident Individuals

Happy New Year

As tomorrow is Chinese New Year, both the morning and the afternoon children performed a dragon dance along the school corridor to visit a few of the classrooms. As you can see, we took both our dragons along and got a great reception from lots of people along the way. It was lovely to visit different rooms, including Primary 1, where some of the children will be pupils next year, and Primary 5/6 where it was great to see the Primary 6 buddies who usually come to visit us.
Thank you to all the staff and pupils who made us feel so welcome with our dragon dancing and well done to Nursery boys and girls for showing great confidence in the wider school environment. Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Chinese Dragon Dance

Now that the children have worked together to make their Chinese dragons as part of their learning about Chinese New Year, they have been taking turns to practise dancing with it. Well done boys and girls – your dragon is looking good.

Very Well Done

Very well done to last week’s award winner. You thoroughly deserved your certificate.

Parent And Child Sports Club

We hope that some of you will be able to participate in our Parent and Child Sports Club open to Nursery to Primary 2 pupils and a parent/carer. Mrs. Foster, our P.E. teacher has kindly agreed to run this for four Tuesdays from 3.00 – 4.00p.m commencing 20th February. This club will introduce you and your child to rugby, netball, gymnastics and athletics, giving you ideas on how to enjoy sport together. Please return the reply slip by Monday 5th February to Nursery staff if you would like to join in.

Brooke’s family has been looking of the photos of Primary 6 visiting the Nursery:

“What a lovely photo of Brooke looking so confident and so happy in talking to one of the buddies out in the garden 😀”

It is lovely to see the older children building good relationships with our children.

Dancing

Nancy’s family enjoyed the photos of the children trying out some Scottish dancing:

“Nancy loves to dance. What a great picture of Nancy enjoying dancing with Bethany 😊”

She certainly showed great enthusiasm for dancing. We are glad that you had fun with the Scottish music and dancing Nancy.

Buddy Day

Monday is buddy day when Primary 6 visit Nursery children to play with them. All the buddies have now visited both morning and afternoon sessions to get to know our children and they are doing a great job. It’s lovely to see the older and younger children chatting together as they build relationships. We are looking forward to lots more visits in the future and hope that Primary 6 are enjoying their visits too.

Dancing To Bagpipes

Bethany’s Mum posted a comment to say that she liked the photo of her dancing to Scottish music:

“Bethany loves the bagpipes it’s great to see her dancing and enjoying.”

She certainly looks very happy in that photo and she did love dancing along to the music. Great dancing Bethany!

Outdoor Fun

It has not taken long at the start of a new term for the children in the Sunshine Room to get their suits and boots on to join in the outdoor play. As you can see, they are looking confident to sample the activities in our garden, regardless of the weather. Bikes and puddle jumping seemed to be the most popular when we captured them on the camera recently. Click then click again to make the photos bigger.
