Do You Play, Talk and Read With Your Child?

Education Scotland is highlighting the importance of playing, talking and reading with children. Parents, carers and families make a positive difference to a child’s learning and your support can play a vital role at all stages of your child’s education.

The latest PlayTalkRead campaign, including a television advert to be shown during World Cup games, was launched on Father’s Day.

The PlayTalkRead campaign’s summer activity is part of the Scottish Government’s focus on the early years of children’s lives – encouraging and supporting parents and carers to play, talk and read more regularly with their little ones.

For more information and advice for parents and carers to support literacy at home, please visit our link on the right to the Parentzone website or have a look at the PlayTalkRead website at www.playtalkread.org/

Bring Your Parent To Nursery

All the children love it when a parent or grandparent comes to join in a Nursery session and it’s great that several parents have come in to play in the last week or so. There are still a few weeks left to take the chance to see what the children do in their time in Nursery and everyone is very welcome to stay and play any day. As you can see, it will probably put a huge smile on your child’s face and you will doubtless have great fun too.

Happy Day

Sophie’s family enjoyed our Fun Activity event:

“we had a lovely morning on Tuesday such a nice way to do a sports day it made it a really fun and positive experience for the Children and everyone seemed really happy. We were very proud of Sophie, she was a little shy that we were there watching but also very confident in her abilities. All the staff were great too, well done Everyone!!”

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. How lovely that you felt that everyone seemed really happy.

Mollie’s Sunflowers

We have had a super photo sent from home:

“Mollie’s sunflowers , hopefully they will go in a pot each at the weekend!”

Well done Mollie – you’ve really looked after your sunflowers. Good luck with the planting at the week-end. I wonder how everyone else is getting on with their sunflowers?

Thank You

Thank you very much for the kind comments re our Fun Activity event.

Carmen’s Mum: “Very well done to all the boys and girls today. You were a credit to your teachers and nursery. As a parent I was very proud of all the children, what a lovely atmosphere. Well done to all the teachers who work so hard to put sports day on, you deserve a medal.”

Mollie’s Mum: “It was fantastic seeing the children working together as a team, well done to all! Mollie certainly loved it, especially her medal and ice lolly!”

Medals Galore

Thank you so much to everyone who came to cheer on the children today in their Fun Activity event. We felt very proud of them all as they confidently showed off their skills in front of a large audience and hope that you enjoyed the day as much as we did. Those medals and ice lollies were certainly well deserved. Well done boys and girls – today you really were ‘confident individuals’.

Fun Activity Day

The children have been practising their running, jumping and throwing skills to prepare for our Fun Activity session on Tuesday. They have shown good teamwork and had great fun although at times, as you can see from the photos, we have had to have our coats on due to chilly weather. We are looking forward to lots of families cheering the children on as they show you what they can do. Fingers crossed that we get some sunshine on Tuesday.

Wonderful Sunflowers

Bethany’s family is impressed with the sunflower pictures:

“What wonderful sunflower pictures! I can’t wait to see the real sunflowers when they grow!”

I wonder if anyone’s sunflower seed has started to sprout yet? We hope that you are remembering how to look after them boys and girls.

Buddy Fun

We have had another lovely comment about our buddies from Freya’s family:

“Freya loves when her buddy Tyra comes to visit her in nursery. It’s lovely for mummy & daddy to hear all the stories of the fun times they have together & reassuring Freya will have someone to look out for her in P1. Thank you Tyra “

Freya and Tyra are certainly having fun together in Nursery and the playground. Sounds like Freya will be looking forward to Tyra looking after her when she moves to Primary 1.
