We would like to thank Joe and his family for their very kind gifts as he said his good-byes at the end of term. The children in the Rainbow Room were so excited to open the parcels that Joe brought and everyone is looking forward to playing with his super gifts. 
The garden set was immediately put into action in our flower shop and seemed to be a great success. Mrs. Alexander and all the Nursery staff would like to say a huge thank you to Joe and his family for their kind generosity. We will miss you Joe but are sure that you will have a super time at your new school.

Easter Egg Extravaganza
There was a great response to the recent competition to decorate boiled eggs for Easter. So many fantastic eggs appeared that an extra table had to be found to display all the Nursery and Primary 1 entrants. Well done to the Nursery prize winner, who you can see here with her prize, and to everyone who took the time to enter the competition. We thought that your ideas were wonderful and wanted to share a selection of them with you all. Can you spot your egg in the photos below?
Easter Animals
We have another family who told us that they enjoyed Eileen’s recent Family Learning activity:
“Emma and daddy had great fun with Eileen making some lovely Easter animals.”
We’re glad that you both enjoyed yourselves. It did look like good fun.
Easter Crafts
Two of our parents have left comments about our Family Learning Easter activities:
“Thank you Eileen for our Easter craft session. Callum especially enjoyed the sing song.”
Summer’s Mum said, “A bit tricky to get elastic on the mask but all great fun for Easter!”
I remember that elastic being tricky but I’m glad to hear that you all had fun.
Photo Comments
Some of our families have been enjoying the recent photos of the children learning about jobs in the community. Dylan’s Mum liked his photo at church:
“Brilliant picture! I can’t decide from the look on his face whether he’s really happy to be holding it or he’s straining under the weight.”
It certainly was heavy that Bible Dylan. Well done for holding on to it.
Lewis’ Mum liked our fire fighter photos:
“Lewis looks like he’s loving being a fireman!”
You really did look the part Lewis. I wonder if you will ever be a fire fighter when you grow up?
Easter Family Activities
Last week twenty nine families took part in our latest Family Learning activity which was to make Easter crafts. Cotton wool, glue and elastic featured heavily and, as you can see, the children had great fun producing their bunny masks and Easter wristbands. Thank you to Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, for providing a super activity for families to enjoy together and thank you also to everyone who came along to her sessions. We hope that you had fun.
Well Done Kacey!
Kacey’s family is delighted with her recent award:
“It was lovely to see how proud Kacey was with her special award certificate it now has pride of place on our fridge at home so she can show everyone! Well done Kacey!”
I hope you are remembering to show it to all your family Kacey. You could show them your photo too. Well done.
Church Visit
The visits to various places in our community continued recently with a walk to the United Reform Church. Rev. McGougan kindly invited us to his place of work and he was able to explain to the children what his job involves, apart from visiting us in Nursery at special times. They were also able to explore the building, upstairs and down, and learn about what happens there.
Thank you to Rev. McGougan for making us feel so welcome and to all the parents who came with us on our visit.

Fire Fighters Finlay And Callum
Two of our families have been looking at the photos of the fire fighter’s visit:
“Finlay was so excited to see this photograph. He said “it’s Fireman Finlay!” He then told me all about the visit from the fire fighter. He’s really enjoyed this topic.”
“Great picture of firefighter Callum! Callum is going to show his uncle Philip this picture as he is a fireman.”
It sounds like we might have some fire fighters of the future here. We’re glad you both enjoyed this visit and hope that Callum’s Uncle Philip is impressed.
Police Station Visit
Joe’s Mum has posted a comment about our visit to the police station:
“The police visit was fantastic for the kids and the mums !!!!! What a great morning !!”
We all thought it was a great visit too. Thanks to everyone who came along to help us and to all the staff at the police station who took the time to show the children what happens inside a police station.
