World Book Day

World Book Day is always a lovely opportunity to celebrate our favourite books and to encourage the children to enjoy stories. This year, as part of a whole school celebration, the children were encouraged to dress as their favourite book character and to bring in their favourite books. It was great to see so many children participating and we have some lovely photos to reflect our day.
We hope that you enjoy these photos of some of the children’s super outfits – more will follow in the next few days of their visit to Annan library as part of our celebrations.

Derek the Paramedic

As we begin to learn about our community and the jobs we can grow up to do there, the morning children had an exciting visit from ‘Derek the Paramedic’, also known as Harper’s Papa. The children enjoyed finding out about the equipment he uses in his job and Derek listened very patiently to stories of medical situations the children had experienced as we tried to work out when we need an ambulance. They were also excited to see all the equipment inside the ambulance which he kindly brought to Nursery and, of course, the blue light and siren were great highlights of the visit.
Thank you so much to Harper’s Papa for taking the time to talk to the children about his job and for showing them inside an ambulance which he hopes should make it less worrying for a child if they ever need to use one for a trip to the hospital.

Song and Dance

Give the children a stage and they are keen to perform, be it singing or dancing. Here are a few snapshots of them in action earlier in the term as they produced their own song and dance routines, showing themselves to be the confident individuals we are trying to help them develop into. I wonder if any of these children will be performers when they are older?

Chinese New Year

As part of our recent discussion about Chinese New Year, we talked about the types of food Chinese people might eat and the children were given the opportunity to sample a few Chinese foods at snack. As you can see, some children made a good attempt at using chopsticks and most were confident to try different foods.

More Burns Celebrations

As promised, we wanted to share some photos from our afternoon Burns celebration. As you can see, the children looked great wearing tartan and most were keen to sample the shortbread, oatcakes, cheese and Irn Bru. As in the morning, the children showed themselves to be confident performers and families and friends looked suitably proud of their performance. Well done boys and girls!

Burns Concert

Ava’s Mum left us a lovely post about our Burns celebration:

“The burns concert was really good all the kids done a great job. Ava loved singing and her drink of irn bru.”

We’re glad that you enjoyed the singing. The children did do well to have learned those songs in a short space of time and to perform them to an audience.
