We sing in Nursery every day so we thought we would let everyone hear what we sound like. These are two of our favourite songs. Well done to Eva and Sarah for introducing “Wind the Bobbin Up”. Please leave a comment to tell us what you think of our singing.
We would like to say a huge thank you to all the children and their families for raising the magnificent sum of £359 for Marie Curie. We greatly appreciate your sponsorship of the care of daffodil bulbs the children had planted. A nurse from Marie Curie visited us in Nursery yesterday to talk to the children about how the money will be used and she was very grateful for our efforts. Well done to all the children who looked after their bulbs. You really are growing up to be responsible citizens and effective contributors.
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.
Sarah: I like them because they look so funny.
Ellie: I like their sparkles.
Poppy: The scarves are nice.
Jack: I like the red ones ‘cause I’m in the red group and they’re the best.
Kady: They’re fantastic!
Nursery and Primary 1 worked together recently to fill boxes for the Operation Christmas Child appeal.
Children and staff were all touched by Mrs. Jardine’s visit when she told us about delivering the boxes to children who have so little compared to us. Her photos, stories and DVD seemed to have a genuine impact on the children.
One of our Mums, Mrs. Simpson, kindly organised our box filling day which was great fun with Nursery, Primary 1 and parents all working together. As well as Mrs. Simpson’s gifts, we had generous contributions from other families which made our efforts particularly impressive.
The most exciting part of this activity for the children seemed to be loading the boxes into the van, ready to be sent on their way. Everyone helped to carry the boxes outside and the children all blew a kiss into the van to wish “Merry Christmas” to the children receiving the boxes.
We would like to thank all those who helped to make this a very worthwhile experience for the children.
