Last week’s award winners were presented with their certificates by Rev. McGougan at our Harvest celebration so we decided that they should be given to children who had made a super effort to contribute to our singing practices. We hope that they were especially proud to receive their awards in front of a big audience. Well done all of you for your great contribution.
Thank you to all those children and their families who kindly donated to our Harvest collection. We feel sure that all the food will be much appreciated by Annan Food Bank. Many thanks also to Rev. McGougan for joining us in Nursery for our Harvest celebration.
We really appreciated your fantastic support in providing a wonderful audience for the children today. It was a lovely opportunity for us all to gather together to celebrate Harvest and we hope that you enjoyed the children’s performance as much as they seemed to. One of our aims is to develop ‘confident individuals’ and many of our children showed themselves to be exactly that in their performance. Well done boys and girls!
We hope that you are all remembering our Harvest celebration tomorrow at 11.30 for the morning children and 2.30 for those in the afternoon. Dylan’s Mum liked our photos of the children practising:
“We are really looking forward to joining u all 2morrow as well, we cant wait to hear all the boys and girls lovely singing voices, Dylan has been practising lots at home, we all now know the words to oats and beans and barley grow off by heart, he sings it that much lol xx”
Well done Dylan, singing your songs at home. We hope lots of our families join us as the children seem to be looking forward to having an audience.
Two of our families have commented on how much they like the Rainbow Room’s “Autumn Flower” scarecrow. Ben’s Mum said:
“I think Autumn Flower is a fantastic scarecrow. I love your ideas, very creative. Looks like you had great fun making it.”
Dylan’s Mum thought Autumn Flower was super too:
“Wow! I think all the boys and girls have made a fantastic job of creating Autumn Flower, she looks amazing you can see how well they have worked together, and how much fun they all had in the process, well done everybody xxx”
It was great fun and so many children contributed to designing and making the scarecrow that it really is a super example of teamwork. Well done everyone!
Rev. McGougan is looking forward to joining us for our Harvest celebration on Friday at 11.30 for the morning children and at 2.30 in the afternoon. This is an informal gathering in the Nursery and all family members are welcome. Please remember to return the slip to let us know how many adults will attend. Any donations of dried food stuffs can be donated on or before Friday and will be handed in to Annan Food Bank – thank you to those families who have already kindly donated to this worthy cause. As you can see, the children have been learning two new songs and are looking forward to performing them to their families. We look forward to seeing lots of you there.
Autumn Flower is the name of the scarecrow created by the children in the Rainbow Room and they have chosen well, considering the ideas they used to make her. As we have been learning about Autumn, they decided to make a scarecrow that looked like Autumn.
There were problems to be solved, such as how to stick the poles together to make a body, how to get the shape for the scarecrow’s clothes and what to use for a head. There was great fun drawing round Mrs. Gray, decorating the dress with handprints and making the face which changed, from the original plan of a ball of bubble wrap covered in material, to an upside down bucket which we liked. It was great to see so many children contributing their ideas and skills to make their scarecrow. We hope that everyone likes Autumn Flower.
You may have noticed some unexpected visitors in the Nursery cloakrooms today. These ladies are the scarecrows which the children made as part of a whole school activity prior to our Harvest celebrations next Friday. As you can see, The Sunshine Room decided to go for a patchwork theme and, after an all important vote, have called their scarecrow Princess Rosie. Here are some photos of the work in progress as different children made their contribution to their room’s scarecrow. Well done boys and girls for working so well together. The Rainbow Room’s creation will appear here soon.
Kacey’s Mum has been enjoying the recent posts about our home activity and the Harvest celebration.
“Kacey loved looking for chestnuts and hazel nuts with her big brother.”
“Unfortunately I was unable to come to the harvest celebration but Kacey told me all about it and sang me some songs at home her nana and sister said it was lovely to see all the children singing together!”
Thank you for helping Kacey to collect items for our Autumn display. The children showed great confidence in the Harvest performance and we were all very proud of them.
Thank you to Rev. McGougan and to all afternoon family and friends who attended our little Harvest celebration today. Those well deserved cheers and smiles meant a lot to the children who performed so well to a large audience. They certainly showed themselves to be those ‘confident individuals’ and ‘effective contributors’ that we want them to become.We are sure that you felt as proud of them as we did. Thank you also for your generous donations which will be much appreciated by local charities.
Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to our Harvest collection which will be delivered to local charities. You can see the Rainbow Room children in front of all the wonderful donations just before their celebration today. Thank you also to Rev. McGougan for being part of our Harvest celebration and to all the family and friends who provided a super audience for the children’s performance.
We look forward to seeing our afternoon families tomorrow and would again like to thank you all for your generosity.
