Family Fun

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.

Christmas Fayre A Huge Hit

Thank you to all who painted, crafted, sold, volunteered, donated, bought, sang, counted, visited, served, set up and tidied away. Together we have raised a whopping £1134 for school funds!!!!!!! You are all amazing!

We hope Santa got back safely to Lapland- thank you for flying down to see us all!

Adventures In Nursery

Jim’s family has been looking at the photos of us making chocolate shapes for the Christmas Fayre:

“Jim is loving all the really exciting things that have been happening at nursery and is full of stories of his ‘adventures’ as he calls them. Thank you to all the nursery team, you are fantastic.”

It’s great to hear that Jim’s enjoying himself. It’s certainly a busy time of year in Nursery. Thank you very much for your kind comment.

Thank You Luca

We would like to thank Luca’s family for all the lovely art and craft activities that they donated to us recently. Lots of the children have been enjoying the Christmas crafts over the past week and have been taking great care when making decorations. Here are a few of the children busy at work, producing some great decorations for our Nursery tree and for their trees at home. Thank you Luca – everyone is enjoying your kind gifts.

Family Christmas Crafts

We would like to remind you that our Family Learning Christmas craft activities will be running on Monday and Tuesday of this week (7th and 8th December). Those who have requested a place, should initially make their way to the Family Room then Eileen will collect the children from Nursery when you are ready for them. We hope that you and the children enjoy these festive activities.

Well Done Finlay

Finlay’s family is delighted with his recent award:

“We are all so proud of Finlay and his certificate for super shape work. Well done!”

We are proud of you too Finlay and you certainly deserved your certificate.

Thank You Grace and Kacey

We would like to say a huge thank you to both Grace and Kacey from the Rainbow Room for their very kind donations to Nursery. They have been helping to sort out their toys at home and decided to donate lots of great new toys and games for everyone to play with. Thank you very much to both families – the children have been having a great time investigating all the new activities in Nursery.

Open Day

This Thursday, December 3rd, we are having an Open Day for the whole school from 9.00 to 6.00 and we would encourage you to take this opportunity to have a chat to staff and a look in your child’s special book if you have not already done so. As we have indicated previously, your contributions are very valuable as these books are a shared document between the child, parents and Nursery staff.
Why not also take this opportunity to have a look around the school beyond the Nursery rooms, particularly if you are considering a move to Primary 1 with us next year? We hope that this is a helpful event, particularly for working parents who may find it difficult to visit Nursery and school during our usual opening hours, and look forward to seeing you on Thursday.

Sunshine Stories

After missing their initial visit to Annan library two weeks ago due to poor weather conditions, the children in the Sunshine Room finally got their chance to visit the library on Monday. They displayed super behaviour and listened well to the stories that Tina had chosen for them. Thank you to the kind Mummy, Daddy and Granny who made our trip possible by coming with us. We look forward to our next visit soon.
