Chats Round The Fire
Brooke’s family has been enjoying the photos of the children making toast outdoors:
“Wow, what a great idea, looks like all the kids enjoyed toasting their own snack and all looked like they knew how to keep themselves safe, well done everyone. Can tell Brooke enjoyed it by that big smile on her face 😀 xx”
It’s funny how the toast tastes so much better made on the fire. The children certainly love doing this and have such great chats round the fire.
Outdoor Snack
Come rain, wind or sun everyone loves a fire in the Nursery garden and it is even better when we have a little snack to cook. One chilly day towards the end of last term a few children suggested that we could warm up outdoors by setting a camp fire so that is exactly what we did.
We all had to think about the wind direction that day as it was quite blowy but the children soon worked out the best seats to avoid smoke in their faces and to stay safe. This little group was well rewarded with some delicious toast cooked on the fire. Great teamwork all of you, working out how to stay safe and helping each other to make your toast and spread it.
PEEP Sessions
A few of our families have begun PEEP (Parents Early Education Programme) sessions with Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, in the last few weeks. One of the recent activities was making playdough and adding a variety of different scents which sounds like good fun. Here are some of our families looking very busy. I wonder if they made dough at home?
Well Done
Well done to two recent award winners who thoroughly deserved their certificates. Congratulations to both of you.
Balancing
As the term draws to a close, the morning children have been enjoying their last few lessons with Mrs. Foster, our P.E. teacher. They have had some fun learning experiences and have grown in confidence as the term has progressed.
Here is one group learning how to move in different ways along a bench, showing good balancing skills and body awareness as they move forwards and backwards using different parts of their bodies. Thank you Mrs. Foster for this term’s activities. The afternoon children are looking forward to spending time with you next term.
Police Station Visit
This week’s visit to the police station was a great learning experience. We were shown round the cells, as well as the rooms in the police station used for interviews and fingerprinting, and we found out what happens when someone is brought in to the police station. Some of the children tried out the hard beds and, although they thought it was great fun to try them out, most agreed that they would not like to sleep there.
The police van, of course, was very popular and most had a turn at sitting in the front and the back of the van. The blue light and siren caused great excitement although some had to cover their ears, the noise was so loud.
Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who came with us on this visit – we appreciate your support. Thank you also to P.C. Leggett for answering some tricky questions and making us feel so welcome. These photos provide a taste of the morning children’s visit. We will post photos of the afternoon visit soon.
Congratulations
One of our older pupils has been visiting our blog and was pleased to see her cousin receiving a certificate:
“Congratulations Leah my wee cousin xx💖”
Thank you Iona for taking the time to visit our blog and for leaving us a message. No doubt you are very proud of your little cousin.
Road Safety
As part of our recent learning experience at Annan fire station, the children learned about staying safe out and about in our community. As well as finding out about the job of a fire officer, they took on the roles of different vehicles, as well as a police officer and lollipop person, to help them work out the safe way to make a journey. Jane and Jamie were very impressed with the children’s knowledge and we were pleased to hear that they had listened so well to advice from their families and Nursery staff about staying safe.
