Mrs. Alexander got a nice surprise on the last day of term when some of the Nursery children took her a little bunch of flowers to say thank you for everything she had done. We think that you made Mrs. Alexander very happy at the end of her busy year.

Proud Parents
Thank you to Sophie’s Mum for her lovely comments both on Family Learning and our graduation:
“We have really enjoyed all the sessions with Eileen, its so nice to be involved with School life.”
“The Graduation was fantastic. All the children sang so confidently and were very brave getting up onto the stage. Such a lovely ceremony. We were very proud parents!!”
We all felt very proud of the children too. They are little stars.
Graduation Day
How proud we all were of the children at our graduation ceremony today as they sang and danced to celebrate their achievements this year in Nursery. They showed great confidence to perform to their families and then to walk on stage on their own to shake hands and receive their certificates. Thank you to Mrs. Alexander for taking time to present each child with their award – we think her knees must have been very sore by the end of the day. Thank you also to all the family and friends who attended our little ceremony and for your support throughout the year.

Snack In The Dinner Hall
Last week the children enjoyed snack in the dinner hall. We all liked the sound of the lunches that Mrs. Martin was preparing although some expected to then get the roast chicken or wraps that were for lunch that day and were a little disappointed to make do with a drink, biscuits and fruit. It won’t be long until some of you are enjoying the delicious lunches every day boys and girls.
Harvest
Earlier this year some children and their families worked together in a Family Learning project to plant vegetables at home and in the raised beds in the Nursery garden. Today they returned to the beds to harvest some of their crop. As you can see, they had great fun making faces with their vegetables as well as tasting them. (It really seemed a bit warm to make soup as planned). It’s interesting how some children won’t normally eat vegetables but they enjoyed tasting those that they had grown. Thank you to Eileen, as always, for providing her super Family Learning activities.
Important Post
Last week a small group of children had an important job to do as we had lots of letters to post. They were very important letters as they were telling the new boys and girls which group they would be in next year and were inviting them to come to Nursery for a visit. There were a lot of stamps to be stuck and letters to be posted but you must have done a good job as nearly all the new children came to visit us today. Thank you to all the families who brought the children for their visit today. We really enjoyed meeting you all and look forward to seeing you again in August.
Snack Shop
With the sun shining and the outdoor area beckoning, many of the children are not so keen to have snack on these hot days so a shop was set up to sell milk, water, grapes and strawberries. Suddenly it seemed that everyone was hungry and thirsty and, as you can see, the little shop did some very good business out in the garden.
We’re All Going On A Summer Holiday
The sunny weather seems to be putting a big smile on everyone’s face this week and lots of children have chosen to play in the garden. This happy, little group spent a long time working together to make a big bus because they wanted to go on their holidays. Well done for super teamwork boys and girls. I wonder what you’ll make next?
Visits to Primary 1
Mrs. Lindsay and Miss Campbell had more little visitors to their rooms today as lots more children visited their Primary 1 classroom. Playdough, stories, sand, computer games, the train set … they tried out most activities on offer and came back to Nursery very happy. Thank you to Miss Campbell, Mrs. Lindsay and Primary 1 for making everyone feel so welcome. The children are very excited to start in their new classes in August.
Beautiful Bugs
Some super pieces of artwork have been done by the children, inspired by their learning about minibeasts. A wide range of materials was used in Nursery to produce butterflies, caterpillars and ladybirds. The butterflies designed at home also look fantastic and it’s great to see how different they all look. We hope that you enjoy this selection but there are lots more to see on display in Nursery and in the corridor near the school office.
