Easter Crafts
Easter craft activities were very popular last week with children and their families as Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, organised some fun with coloured paper, glue and pipe cleaners. It was great to see lots of children and their families take part. Thanks, as always, to Eileen – we are sure that everyone enjoyed your super activities.

Field Sports
There has been great excitement about the new outdoor equipment on the school field in the last few weeks so some of the children have been trying it out in small groups. While out there, football was also popular with some and they enjoyed being able to score a goal in the goalposts. As you can see, the children showed great skills and confidence in tackling some of the challenging equipment.
“That’s Not My Teddy”
Primary 2 has been very busy lately, writing their own version of the story “That’s Not My Teddy”. Not only was each child an author but an illustrator too, as they designed their own teddy characters in their stories. The final books looked wonderful and Primary 2 children kindly visited us one afternoon recently to read their stories to Nursery children. Well done all the boys and girls from Primary 2. We think that you are super authors and illustrators and the Nursery children thoroughly enjoyed your visit.
Chinese New Year Snack
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 some Chinese foods at snack. As you can see, some made a good attempt at using chopsticks and most were confident to try the noodles, sauces and prawn crackers on offer.
Song and Dance
You just never know what great ideas the children will have in a Nursery day. Here are some lovely photos of the day the children in the Sunshine Room decided to stage a concert. They worked well together to organise themselves into performers and audience, taking turns and discussing what songs they would perform. Some used instruments and some added a dance to their act but all had great fun, showing confidence in their performance and appreciation of others in their concert. Well done everyone who took part – you were a great team.
Clothes Shop
After discussion with the children, our role play area is being transformed from a Chinese restaurant to a shop. They are keen to have a clothes shop where they can experiment with lots of different outfits and we would appreciate your help if you have any unwanted items you could add to our shops.
We are looking for ties, sunglasses, shoes (adult or child), wigs, hats, jewellery … anything you think the children would enjoy trying out in their clothes shop. As you can see, the shop was popular when we set it up on Friday but it would be great if anyone could add to our stock.

National Improvement Framework in a Nutshell
I have recently added a new document from “The National Parent Forum of Scotland” under “Useful Reading” on the right. This useful article summarises the “National Improvement Framework” and shares information for better learning. We hope that you find it useful.
