Thank you to those parents who have helped the children make a picture at home to depict their favourite place or thing to do in Annan. These pictures will be displayed later in the week to celebrate Annan’s Day of the Region on Saturday 18th September.
The school grounds will be open to help showcase some of our local clubs and activities. The Nursery and school windows between the John Bell field and the tennis pavilion will be covered in artwork from the four local primary schools so watch out for your pictures there. There’s plenty time for more children to bring in their drawings so keep thinking about what you like best in Annan – we would love to have a picture from you to display to celebrate Annan’s Day of the Region.

Beat The Street
The lovely weather this week has been a great incentive to get out and about with the Nursery children to take part in the Beat the Street campaign as part of the Scottish Government’s Smarter Choices Smarter Places initiative. As you can see, the children have enjoyed taking a walk to tap the Beat Boxes close to Nursery and have managed to earn points along the way. We hope that you are all joining in with this great Health and Wellbeing event with your families too.

Kenzie Beats The Street
What a super photo of Kenzie out and about in Annan on “Beat the Street”. She’s been going out on her bike with her Mum to get healthy while having lots of fun and earning points. Well done Kenzie – keep up the good work. Thank you to Kenzie’s Mum for her action photo. I wonder if anyone else has been taking part with their families?
Orla’s Award
Orla’s Mum is pleased with her award:
“Thank you for Orla’s special award. We are delighted that she has been helping the new children settle into nursery. We hope that they all enjoy nursery as much as Orla does.”
Well done Orla. It seems no time since you started in Nursery and now you are helping other children to settle in. We are all proud of how kind and helpful you have been.
Nursery Rules
The children have been talking about rules in Nursery and why we need rules. You could ask them at home if they can remember what we agreed on. Here are some of the children showing us the rules to help everyone remember them.
Super Team Workers
Pretty Flowers All In A Row
As well as planting sunflowers to take home, we have been planting in the Nursery garden to brighten it up. Mrs. Alexander kindly gave us four flower pots which inspired us to add to the display in our raised bed. The afternoon children were enthusiastic to join in and help and, as you can see, they made a good job of preparing the soil then choosing which plants they wanted where. Have a look in the garden to see what you think of their hard work.
Buddy Letters
As promised, here are some photos of the Primary 6 buddies in the Sunshine Room meeting the Nursery children and some of their families when they came to deliver their introductory letters. Thank you for all your super work Primary 6 – we are sure that our parents appreciate your efforts. We look forward to you taking the Nursery children to the playground soon.

Meet The Buddies
The children who will be moving on to Primary 1 at Hecklegirth in August now know who their own buddy will be and Primary 6 children are making such a good job of building relationships with their new little friends.
The buddies very kindly took the time to write letters to their Nursery child’s family so that they know a little about them and in the last few days they have introduced themselves to their parents or grandparents. We hope that this has eased a few of the worries you may have had about your child moving to Primary 1 and that you enjoy sharing the letters with your children.
Thank you Primary 6 children for doing a super job. You certainly are responsible citizens and effective contributors! Here are some Rainbow Room buddy photos. Sunshine Room will follow soon.
Easter Egg Extravaganza
There was a great response to the recent competition to decorate boiled eggs for Easter. So many fantastic eggs appeared that an extra table had to be found to display all the Nursery and Primary 1 entrants. Well done to the Nursery prize winner, who you can see here with her prize, and to everyone who took the time to enter the competition. We thought that your ideas were wonderful and wanted to share a selection of them with you all. Can you spot your egg in the photos below?
