What an enjoyable visit we had today from Julie and Kerry-Anne from Shelter where they shared information about how they help local families who are experiencing difficulties around homelessness. Our children showed themselves to be responsible citizens and were able to identify how we can help families in need by donating items such as non-perishable foods, toiletries, books and toys. Should you wish to support Shelter you can pop your gifts in the box at Nursery.

Burns Snack
The children in the Raindrop Room enjoyed a great taste of Scotland for their Burns Day snack – haggis, tatties, neeps, oatcakes, shortbread and, of course, Irn Bru were on the menu for snack. It was great to see some children trying foods for the first time and even surprising themselves when they liked them.
Happy Birthday Robert Burns
With much of their recent learning having focussed on Scotland and Scottish traditions, the children in the Rainbow Room participated in a little celebration for Burns Day. The haggis was piped in (courtesy of Youtube) as the children marched behind it and we listened to a little of the “Address to the Haggis” as we sat down to enjoy our special Burns snack at tables covered with tartan made by the children. We all raised our glasses of Irn Bru in a toast to wish Robert Burns a ‘Happy Birthday’ and enjoyed a taste of haggis, tatties, neeps, tattie scones, oatcakes and cheese. Everyone seemed to enjoy the occasion and even those who were a little unsure to try new foods had smiles on their faces at our little gathering.
Award Winners
Very well done to last week’s award winners. You both thoroughly deserved your certificates.
Gymnastics Skills
As the school hall is available to us again for a Friday session, we are providing the opportunity for the children to develop their gymnastics skills. Initially the children in the Rainbow Room will be enjoying this experience then later in the term those in the Raindrop Room will spend a few weeks having weekly visits. This gallery shows the children getting back in the swing of some fun activities.
Lydiafield Visit
After our Christmas singing visit to Lydiafield, we were delighted to be invited for a return visit to chat to the ladies and gentlemen who live there. This little group of children made us feel very proud as they chatted and played games with some of the residents. It was lovely to see smiles all round from young and old. Thank you to the staff and residents of Lydiafield for making us feel so welcome. We are looking forward to our next visit.
Award Winner
Huge congratulations go to last week’s award winner. We feel sure that your family must be very proud of you.

Great Time
James’ family has been looking at our photos of the children settling in to the new term:
“James said he had a great time and he loves playing on the keyboard.”
It’s good to hear that James is settling in happily. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a comment.
Having Fun
We would like to share a gallery of our first couple of days back in Nursery. Everyone is enjoying meeting up with their friends and joining in with a range of activities.
