Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, has left a message for everyone about her PEEP activities:
“If any nursery parents/carers are interested in coming to a PEEP group on a Monday afternoon or Thursday morning please let Nursery staff know”
These sessions are a great opportunity for you to enjoy a relaxing activity with your child and younger siblings are welcome to attend.
Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, has sent us a post about today’s PEEP activity.
“Today in our first PEEP session we stomped and roared like dinosaurs and painted dinosaur pictures with marshmallows and pom poms (and a little bit of glitter)”
That sounds like great fun and we love your artwork. Thank you to Eileen for organising PEEP for our families.
Leah’s family has been looking at the photos of some of the children’s science experiments:
“Leah loved doing science experiments and told us all about it . We saw a book in Aldi with children’s science experiments and we are going to do some at home too . Thank you.”
Well done Leah for talking about your learning at home and it’s great to hear that you are carrying on with your experiments with your family. I hope that you have lots of fun.
Leo’s family has been looking at our photos of the recent visit of the steam train to Annan:
“Leo loved seeing the steam train he was so excited to tell us all about it.”
Well done Leo for sharing your news at home with your family. It certainly was exciting.
Alex G.’s family has been looking at the photos of the children enjoying our new tunnel:
“Alex says the green tunnel is good fun!”
It’s great to hear that you’re having fun playing in the big tunnel Alex. Let’s hope that we get lots of lovely weather soon to help us enjoy our outdoor area.
We would like to share the information below sent from Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator.

‘I liked watching the tunnel coming in. It was fun going through the tunnel with all the people’ – Evan.
We are pleased that you like our new equipment Evan. It has certainly been lots of fun. Thank you for leaving us a comment.

Tilly’s family has left us a lovely comment on a photo showing Tilly and her friends exploring the tray of shaving foam:
“This is a fabulous photo! Sums up exactly what nursery should be…fun, exciting and engaging their interests! Lovely to see how happy they all are!”
We love that photo too and, as you can see, the children absolutely love this activity. Thank you for your kind comment.
Oscar and Letti’s family like our photos of the children looking at the tractor brought in by Fern’s Daddy:
“Oscar was very happy to tell me all about the big New Holland at nursery.”
Everyone certainly seemed to enjoy that visit and we are very grateful to Fern’s Daddy for taking the time to bring it in.
They also enjoyed the photos of the children making chocolate nests:
“Letti enjoyed making herself and Oscar a chocolate nest and she gave Mum have a very small nibble!”
That was kind of you to share Letti. Again, this was a very popular activity. Thank you for taking the time to comment in the holidays.
