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

We may have been one day late, due to unforeseen circumstances, but today we celebrated Burns Day in style with shortbread, oatcakes and cheese and, of course, Irn Bru. We appreciate everyone making a super effort to provide the children with ‘a touch o’ tartan’ as they looked wonderful despite the awful weather you all faced coming to Nursery. Thank you also to all the family and friends who came to hear the children sing their Scottish songs. It’s so important for them to have an appreciative audience and you certainly helped to make it a memorable occasion. Here you can see some of the morning children enjoying their celebration. Afternoon photos will follow soon.

Over the past week the children have been learning a little about Scotland and Robert Burns. We have been looking at tartan and the Scottish flag in the art area where some super work has been created. As you can see, we have displayed some of their work in the school corridor so take the opportunity to have a look if you are passing by. We will post more of the children’s art work on here soon.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back tomorrow (Tuesday) when we will hold our Scottish celebration so get your tartan hunted out boys and girls.
Unfortunately, due to flooding, there will be no Nursery on Monday 25th January. However, we expect to be open again on Tuesday and will be able to enjoy our Burns celebration then so it would be great if the children could wear a ‘touch o’ tartan’ to add to the occasion. Both rooms will come together for a little “Burns supper” and we will end our celebration by performing our songs to family and friends. We would be delighted if you could join us at 11.45 or 2.50, depending on your session, to hear the children sing their Scottish songs. We look forward to seeing you all again on Tuesday.
Dylan’s Mum has been looking at the photos of our Christmas celebration:
“We absolutely loved watching the children in their Christmas celebration, we are very proud of Dylan and all the other boys and girls as they done really well, standing up infront of a big audience singing their wee hearts out and all looked so cute. A big well done to all the staff cause all ur hard work really paid off, was truly a lovely celebration 🙂 xxx”
Thank you for your comment. We were certainly proud of every one of the children who showed great confidence in front of a big audience.
We hope that, like us, you were very proud of all the children as they behaved and sang so beautifully in front of a big audience at our Christmas celebration on Friday. Huge thanks go to Rev. McGougan, Mrs. Alexander and Mr. Palmer for joining us and to the many family members who helped to make this a special occasion for the children. Here are a few photos of the children as they prepared for their performance.
After the super singing of the morning Sunshine children at Annan Court Care Home, it was the turn of the Rainbow morning children to make a visit in our community to Annan Day Care Centre earlier this week.
Yet again our little Nursery children made us very proud as they confidently sung their Christmas songs to the ladies and gentlemen in the audience. It was lovely to see some of the audience joining in with the actions and songs so thank you everyone for making us feel welcome.
After lots of singing, it’s great to have a refreshing drink and the ladies in charge very kindly provided us with juice which was much appreciated. Thank you boys and girls for behaving so beautifully and providing great entertainment in our local community. We hope to have more opportunities to perform again in the future with different groups.
In the meantime, we hope that all our families are looking forward to our Christmas celebration tomorrow (Friday) with Rev. McGougan when you can hear the children’s singing for yourselves. We look forward to seeing you there.
The morning children from the Sunshine Room visited Annan Court Care Home on Friday to perform their Christmas songs to the residents. This was an opportunity for the children to develop their confidence and to be part of the wider community.
It was a joy to see the delight that our little Nursery children gave to the elderly ladies and gentlemen and their singing and behaviour was superb. They also showed good manners when given juice, crisps and sweets from the staff so we were very proud of everyone who took part. Thank you so much to the staff and residents at Annan Court for making us feel so welcome – we loved your singing too.
Well done boys and girls for showing yourselves to be responsible citizens, effective contributors and confident individuals. You certainly earned those certificates.

Mollie’s Mum left a comment to say how much she and Mollie enjoyed Eileen’s Family Learning activity:
“Mollie loved making the Christmas decorations, they are all sitting proudly on our tree, even Rudolph’s lollipop nose is still intact! Thank you once again Eileen!”
It seems amazing that these lollipops are not getting eaten. Well done Mollie! Eileen has sent me these photos of some of you with your finished decorations and you all look pleased with your efforts. There must be some lovely Christmas trees in the Annan area this year.

Thanks must go again to Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, for providing super Christmas activities for children and their families to enjoy together. When I called in to the Family Room, there were owl decorations and angels on the go and they certainly looked like good fun. No doubt they will brighten up your Christmas trees.
It’s lovely to see lots of families participating, despite everyone being so busy at this time of year, and we really appreciate Eileen offering these sessions. Watch this space next term for more Family Learning activities.
