Our Thoughts on Love

Valentine’s Day has come and gone earlier this week but what do our Nursery children think about love and how we can show someone that we love them?

Zak   “Love feels soft.”

Eva   “You can kiss people you love. I love my puppy Milly and I kiss and cuddle  her.”

Mason   “It feels snug as a bug.”

Dylan   “Love is looking after someone. My Mummy and Daddy look after me.”

Nairn    “I love my Nana. I give her kisses.”

Aedan   “People who love each other, play with each other.”

Joanne   “My Mummy makes lots and lots of love for me. I love my Mummy.”

Sarah   “At night time my Mummy puts my little light on and gives me a big cuddle.”

Mason   “My Mummy gives me drinks when I watch Ben 10. She gives me superduper, electronic, automatic robot cuddles.”

Ruby   “I give my Mummy and Daddy and my little sister 53 kisses.”

Ellie    “Me and my family stay at home and do nice things like play jigsaws. My  brother reads me stories. Sometimes the daddy has to go on night shift.”

Maisie  “My Mummy and Daddy love me so much and today my Mummy gave me Super Noodles and they were so yummy.”

Alicia  “My Mummy loves me. She makes my bed and I help her too.”

Our Dragon Dance

As part of our learning about Chinese New Year, the children made a dragon and have been enjoying performing a simple dragon parade to Chinese music. If you would like to watch them having fun with this, you can come a little early to pick your child up on Tuesday 15th February at 11.15 or 2.45 when we will be in the hall. We hope you will enjoy having a different insight into our activities.

 

 

Our “Tartan Party” Preparations

As Burn’s Day approaches, we are learning about Robert Burns and Scottish culture. The children have been amazed to learn that Robert Burns has visited Annan and some may even be dragging you to the local chip shop to see the plaque on the wall that tells us this.

To prepare for our Burn’s celebrations, or as one of the children called it “Our Tartan Party”, we have been learning  “Ye Cannae Shove Yer Granny Aff the Bus” and “Three Craws” which we will perform next week. The afternoon children will celebrate on Tuesday with P1, P2 and P3/2. The morning children will have their celebration on Wednesday with P4 and P5. If possible, it would be great if the children could wear a little tartan to help us all join in the spirit of the event.

Along with oatcakes, cheese and Irn Bru the children thought that some shortbread would be a tasty addition to our “Burn’s Supper”. Miss Wilson has spoken to the kind ladies in the kitchen and they will be making some for us. However, we are also baking shortbread ourselves: as you can see from the photos, some of the children are demonstrating very good skills. Mrs. Lindsay, Mrs. Hamilton and Miss Wilson were lucky enough to be chosen as “tasters” and they were very impressed with our baking.

Nursery Welcomes Some Special Visitors

On our return to Nursery this week, we all enjoyed a very exciting, “hands-on” visit by Zoolab.

A cockroach called Larry, Maurice the millipede and best friends, Oscar and Daisy the snails were among our visitors. We learned some amazing facts about the lifestyles of these animals and the children were particularly impressed by the fact that snails have more teeth than sharks and Larry the cockroach will actually eat smelly socks.

Many of the children also enjoyed the opportunity to stroke and hold these animals, which was a memorable experience. We have captured some of their impressions in photos and comments below. Click on the photos to get a closer view.

Zak: “The spider was good ‘cause it nearly chased that bug”.

Poppy: “Oscar’s kiss feels cold”. (snail)

Jannat: “He’s tickly”. (cockroach)

Remo: “Oh! Oh! it feels really really slimy”.(snail)

Aidan: “I liked the snake ‘cause it’s slinky”.

Dylan: “It’s a bit scribbly”. (cockroach on his hand)

Sarah: “What number’s his legs? It looks like a lot.” (the millipede)

Phoebe: “I loved the snake. It felt soft”.

Christmas Family Fun

We hope that everyone enjoyed our concert performance this week. The children have had fun practising with Primaries 1, 2 and 3/2 and you could clearly see the enjoyment on their faces when they performed for their families and friends.

After the great excitement of the concert, it was lovely to see so many parents and grandparents join us for a relaxing time making Christmas decorations with the children. Our thanks go to Eileen and Jennifer from Family Learning who make these events so welcoming for everyone. It’s always wonderful to see so many families join in activities in the Nursery.

We hope you like our decorations. We certainly had great fun making them.
