Enid’s family is very proud of her recent award:
“A little later than intended catching up with the blog, but Enid’s ‘increased confidence ‘ was a very welcome surprise, and she was very proud to show us. Enid can be very shy so this certificate gives us some reassurance that she is building her confidence.”
Very well done Enid! You thoroughly deserved your certificate and we are very proud of you too.
This week the children who are moving to Primary 1 at Hecklegirth found out who their buddies will be. The Nursery pupils met their individual Primary 6 buddies when they came to play and, as always, the buddies showed great skills and attitude with our Nursery children. It was lovely to see them organise a game of “Duck Duck Goose” outdoors which the children loved. We have now planned visits to the school playground and the buddies will go with the children on these visits to encourage and support them both in the empty playground and when the rest of the school is out. Thank you to all the Primary 6 buddies for doing a super job.
The children from the Sunshine Room have been building their confidence in the wider environment recently by paying a few visits to the nature garden. As you can see, they have enjoyed exploring every aspect of it and collected various objects from nature to create their own works of art. We hope that you like their work as much as we do.
Quinn’s family likes the photos of the children with the tractor and the lamb:
“These are fantastic photos. We hears lots about this visit. Love seeing our wee girl so happy at nursery. Xx”
They certainly were all very happy that day. If anyone uses Facebook, I think that Fiona has now put a selection of photos on the RHET Dumfries and Galloway page so you should be able to see them there.
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.

Olivia’s family likes the photo of her trying out the hose at the fire station:
“What a great action shot! After initially being unsure about going to the fire station Olivia was delighted to tell us all about her go with the hose and her favourite part, poor Mrs Kirkpatrick getting soaked!! 😃”
We’re glad you enjoyed your visit Olivia and were confident to try out the hose. It was great fun for everyone.
After learning about different jobs in our community at the end of last term, we had one further exciting trip out last week when we visited the fire station. Fortunately the weather was very kind and we enjoyed a lovely walk there in the sunshine. As well as finding out about the job of a fire officer, the children took part in a road safety activity where they took on different roles of cars, lorries, buses and bikes as well as a police officer and lollipop person. This was a super new resource that the fire service have just acquired and was a great way to help the children think about how to stay safe.
They also got a close up view of all the equipment in a fire engine, learned what it is used for and put their hands to their ears as the siren was 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.
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.

Lily’s family has been looking at the photos of our RHET visit. They liked the photo of the girls on the tractor: “Aww lovely photo of Lily and Francesca!”
The photos with the lamb have also caught their eye:
“Lily has been telling me all about ‘George the lamb’ and how he gets milk from his mummy! She also says he’s 1month old??!”
I’m not sure that George is quite as young as that but he is a pet lamb still being looked after by Mrs. Ker.
Callum’s family has been looking at the photos from our RHET visit last week.
“WOW what a great day it was. Callum came home buzzing. He absolutely loved having the Massey Ferguson at Nursery. Farmer for the future, I think so😉.”
“Aw love this photo of Callum with the lamb. He is very good with animals. I can’t believe the size of the lamb he said, it’s just a a baby
”
It was a great day. We’re glad to hear that Callum enjoyed it so much.
As promised, here is snapshot gallery of the afternoon children enjoying the activities organised last week for us by RHET. As you can see from the happy faces, they enjoyed the visit by the tractor from Carr’s and our cute little lamb visitor just as much as the morning children. Thank you again to Fiona, Mrs. Ker and Carr’s for providing a great learning experience for the children. I wonder if we have any farmers of the future here?
