Garden Delivery

Thom’s family has been looking at the photos of the children busy with the new bark in the garden:

“Thom was very keen to show me the big blue bag when we walked past it on our way home, I notice though he wasn’t there to help with the hard work! I’m surprised as he usually likes getting mucky! We happened to be passing when the truck brought the next bag and he was very pleased the driver waved to us.”

Lots of the children have been helping to spread the next delivery as part of their play. What started out as a little hill of bark is slowly being dug, raked and spread to make a much improved base for our digging area so well done to all those children who have been helping out.

Beautiful Spring Flowers

Orla’s family has commented on the art work the children have produced recently:

“Beautiful spring pictures. Well done to all the children on such lovely and imaginative work.”

We really love that they chose lots of different ways to create their flowers.

Sharing Your Learning

Summer’s family has been having a look at the photos of the children mixing colours outdoors:

“This will explain why Summer has started mixing all the paint together at home! I thought she was just being messy when actually she is learning. Summer is also enjoying learning the first letter of words which you have been doing in nursery, it has become her favourite game. She says the letter ‘s’ then names all the words she knows beginning with the letter. We are impressed!”

Well done Summer! It sounds like you’ve been sharing lots of your learning at home with your family.

Recent Events

Dylan’s family has been looking at some of our recent posts on the visit to church and the Big Pedal Week:

“Dylan really enjoyed his visit to the church, he fair talked about when he went up the steps with Luca and the bird garden that he saw x”

“This(Big Pedal Week) has been a great idea, was great to see so many children and parents out on their bikes and scooters, taking part, it has certainly encouraged Dylan to be out on his bike more and helping build his confidence x”

It’s great to hear that Dylan has been enjoying recent events in Nursery. It was lovely to see lots of bikes and scooters being brought in that week. Let’s hope that lots of you keep up with your cycling and scooting especially as the warmer weather hopefully starts to appear. The more you practise the better you get.

Scooting Fun

Thom and Olivia have had fun during “Big Pedal Week” judging by the comments from their families:

“Thom really enjoyed it but because he brought his scooter he wants to bring his bike next time to learn new tricks!”

“Olivia has had a fantastic week bringing her scooter to nursery! She even went to bed wearing her helmet on monday night!!! A great idea and lovely to see all the children showing such enthusiasm!”

I wonder if Olivia had lovely dreams about scooting? It was great to see such a fantastic response to this week and we hope that lots of you continue to cycle or scoot to Nursery.

Exciting Visit

Emma and Chloe’s family has been looking at the photos of their visit to Rev. McGougan’s church:

“Wow looks very exciting girls. Heard all about it from Emma she had a great time.”

Well done Emma for telling your family all about our visit. You must have been listening well.

Well Done Finlay

Finlay’s family was happy to see his photo with his certificate:

“We are both so proud of Finlay and his certificate. What a lovely end to the term. Finlay was so happy to receive it and proudly told his family what it was for.”

Very well done Finlay! You have made everyone extremely proud of you.

Lots of Fun

Some of our families have been looking at the photos of the egg decorating competition:

Olivia’s family said, “We had lots of fun turning Olivia’s boiled eggs into her baby sister and baby cousin!!”

Neve’s family had fun too: “Neve loved making the easter bunny eggs was great fun”

It really is amazing how many different things a boiled egg can be turned into. We thought that they were all super.

Eggs-ellent Eggs!

What a lot of fantastic eggs appeared from our Nursery children for the decorated boiled egg competition! It was great to see that so many children and their families had worked together at home on this fun Easter activity and the Nursery/Primary 1 tables were full of lots of creative ideas. Well done to the Primary 1 winner and to Cormac from Nursery who was the runner-up in our category but a huge thanks and well done to everyone who took the time to enter the competition. We thought that your eggs were amazing!

Easter Crafts

Easter craft activities were very popular last week with children and their families as Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, organised some fun with coloured paper, glue and pipe cleaners. It was great to see lots of children and their families take part. Thanks, as always, to Eileen – we are sure that everyone enjoyed your super activities.
