We cannot believe how lucky we have been with the weather for the last few weeks and so many of the children have been taking advantage of the sunshine to play outdoors for much of the session. Here are a few taking a welcome break from their busy play with a refreshing ice lolly. You can’t beat a nice cool treat on a hot summer’s day.
It seems like they have been in Nursery for a long time but, after caring for them, we finally released the butterflies that the children had observed so closely from being little caterpillars. Although they did not seem keen to leave us, Miss Kerr gave them a helping hand to settle on our plants in the outdoor area which gave everyone a chance to have a close look at our little butterflies before we waved them goodbye. Here are the morning children giving them a fond farewell.
We seem to have had so many exciting events to share from our busy Health Week and here you can see the morning children enjoying a session with Mike, the tennis coach, who provided lots of fun activities to help the children learn control of a tennis ball. Mike told us that there are classes for Nursery age children at our local tennis courts so we hope that these children have enjoyed their experience and may want to take part in these classes in the future. They certainly showed great enthusiasm for all the activities.
Last year we created a little fairy garden in a corner of our outdoor area and recently some of the children had noticed that it could do with a lick of paint and tidy up for the poor fairies. What better activity for a sunny afternoon than to paint our fairy houses so a small group set about the task with great enthusiasm and made a super job as you can see. Great teamwork boys and girls! We think that the fairies will be delighted with their home makeover.
The children’s interest in minibeasts has developed over the past few weeks as we have talked about life cycles and kept an eye on our growing caterpillars. The outdoor area has been a hive of activity as some of the children have investigated exactly which minibeasts live in our garden. Here is a little gallery of our young scientists at work. Some of the photos were taken by them too so good work boys and girls.

The Anklebiters activities were on the menu in Health Week for the children in the afternoon as well as the morning so here a little snapshot of them having fun on the school field. Thank you to Anklebiters – the children loved your activities.

Here are the afternoon children looking proud of their medals after their Fun Activity Day. Well done to all of you. You thoroughly deserved those medals for all your hard work.
It seemed too good to be true that the sun decided to shine on our Fun Activity Day but we were very grateful for the gorgeous weather. Thank you so much to all family and friends who took the time to cheer on the children as well as to the buddies of Primary 6 who were great helpers and supporters of the children both morning and afternoon.
We are sure that, like us, you felt very proud of them all as they confidently showed off their skills and great teamwork. We managed to capture photos of some of the children with those well deserved medals and an ice lolly finished off our day nicely. We hope that you enjoyed the day as much as we did. Well done boys and girls – you really showed yourselves to be ‘confident individuals’. Here are the morning children after all their hard work.
Just like the morning children, those in the afternoon all enjoyed practising our activities for their Fun Activity Day. We hope that you enjoyed watching our confident little children and will share photos of them with their medals soon.
As promised, here is a selection of photos of the children practising for their Fun Activity Day. Apologies that we could not manage to post them earlier in the week. More photos will follow soon. In the meantime here are the morning children in action.
