Fire Fighting In Nursery
A fire fighter recently visited Nursery to talk about his job and about how to stay safe in a fire. As well as learning about the dangers of matches through a story, the children enjoyed fun games to help them remember to stay low in a fire as they crawled under makeshift smoke in the form of a billowing parachute.
Some children tried out a jacket and helmet for size and had some good ideas about why a fire fighter needs different parts of his/her uniform to stay safe. We think that quite a few of the children like the idea of being our fire fighters of the future and they certainly look the part.
Red Nose Day
Dress in red and make your faces funny was the Hecklegirth challenge on Red Nose Day and the Nursery children took part with great enthusiasm. Thank you to Joe’s Mum for providing the frame which produced some super photos. Thank you also to everyone who gave a donation on the day – the Nursery children raised £49.32. We hope you enjoy these happy faces.

Here are our smiling certificate winners from last week. Well done to you all – some got awards for being kind and helpful, others for super writing and great work with puzzles but you all made a wonderful effort in Nursery last week. Congratulations!
Buddy Chat
The Primary 6 children have been visiting Nursery for some time now and are developing into kind and helpful buddies. Last week they came to chat to some of the children about a joint project. They listened to the ideas of the Nursery children and have gone back to their classroom to plan a game that they will be able to play together. Here you can see some of the buddies in action chatting to our Nursery children. Thank you for being good listeners Primary 6 – we are looking forward to you showing the children what you come up with as an activity.
Chinese Tasting
As part of our discussion about Chinese New Year, lots of Nursery children were confident to talk about the types of food Chinese people might eat and, to celebrate the start of celebrations for Chinese New Year last week, they were given the opportunity to sample some Chinese foods at snack. As you can see, the children made a good attempt at using chopsticks and most were confident to try the noodles, sauces and prawn crackers on offer.
Who Do You Love?
With the approach of Valentine’s Day, we have been talking about who we love. As a home activity, the children drew someone they love and told us why they love them. The children’s work is displayed in the corridor and it has certainly put a smile on our faces so please take the time to have a look at them all. We thought that we would share a selection with you.
Isaac: I love Mummy and Granny. Mummy because she gives me lots of cuddles and Granny buys me cakes.
Emma: Grandma and Grandad because we bake cakes together.

Family Breakfast With The Rainbow Room
As promised, we have a selection of photos from the Family Breakfast event with the children and their families from the Rainbow Room. Judging by the evaluation slips you were kind enough to complete, everyone enjoyed this opportunity and some commented that their children had tried different foods for the first time which is great to hear. Thank you to everyone who was able to join us over the two days and thank you to Eileen for organising another lovely family event.

Sunshine Breakfasts
Our Family Breakfast event last week was very well attended on both days. This was a new venture organised with Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, as a celebration of our learning about Scotland and it seemed to be a popular addition to our family activities.
Thank you to all the adults who joined in the spirit of the occasion by singing along with the children and encouraging them to try the breakfast on offer. Cereal, various fruits, tattie scones and oatcakes provided a range of foods and most children enjoyed a good breakfast. We were delighted that some were encouraged to taste something they had not had before and found out that they actually liked it.
We hope that some of you have tried the recipes on the back of our menus with the children at home and look forward to hearing about it from them in Nursery.
Here are some photos of the Sunshine families having breakfast on Thursday. We will post the Rainbow Room photos soon.
