Please remember that Wednesday and Thursday (8th and 9th February) of this week are enrolment days for Nursery session 2017-18. Parents of returning children will need to complete a new form stating their preference of sessions for next year. Please note that those who have applied for a deferred year should complete a Nursery enrolment form unless they have made the final decision that their child will definitely go to school. In the event of deciding that you do not want a Nursery place, the Nursery application will simply be cancelled.
If your child is hoping for a place in Nursery in the next academic year, please come to the school office between 9.00 and 3.00 with your child’s birth certificate and proof of address to complete the enrolment. We look forward to seeing you there.

Toothtastic Tuesday
We are looking forward to Toothtastic Tuesday tomorrow at either 11.00 – 11.45 or 12.15 – 1.00. Childsmile staff Jacqueline and Nikki have worked with us and Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, to arrange some fun activities based on keeping our teeth healthy. Thank you to those parents who have returned the slip to say that they will be joining us. We are looking forward to seeing you there.
Scottish Fiddle Music
As part of our learning about Scotland, the morning children were very lucky this week to hear some genuine Scottish fiddle music when Edward’s Mum came in to play for us. They saw what music looks like and, as you can see, enjoyed clapping along to a great variety of Scottish tunes and nursery rhymes. We talked about how different pieces made us feel and Edward did a super job of holding the music while his Mum played.
We would like to thank Edward’s Mum very much for spending time with us and providing the children with a great experience.

Great Photo
Callum’s Mum likes the photos from our Burns celebration:
“Aw he 3 amigos🤗. Aw great photo. Callum loved Burns day. He loved eating the shortbread and trying Iron Brew for the first time.”
It’s great to hear that Callum enjoyed the day. The children did all have a good time . Thank you for taking the time to leave us a comment.
Eat Better Feel Better 2017

Proud Mum
Neve’s Mum is proud of her recent certificate:
“Neve was delighted to win this award and I was one very proud mum”
Well done Neve for doing some super work. We are proud of you too.
More Burns Celebrations
As promised, we wanted to share some photos from our afternoon Burns celebration. As you can see, the children looked great wearing tartan and most were keen to sample the shortbread, oatcakes, cheese and Irn Bru. As in the morning, the children showed themselves to be confident performers and families and friends looked suitably proud of their performance. Well done boys and girls!
Great Day
It’s lovely to hear that the children have enjoyed their Burns day celebrations. Max’s Mum has left a comment on one of our photos:
“What a great photo. Max fair enjoyed his day”
We love that photo too. He looks so happy.
Burns Concert
Ava’s Mum left us a lovely post about our Burns celebration:
“The burns concert was really good all the kids done a great job. Ava loved singing and her drink of irn bru.”
We’re glad that you enjoyed the singing. The children did do well to have learned those songs in a short space of time and to perform them to an audience.
Enjoying Our Learning
Lily’s family has posted a comment about our Burns activities:
“Lily has really enjoyed practising the dancing and learning the songs. And she especially liked the Iron Bru!!”
Lily has loved participating in our activities this week and has been particularly enjoying dancing with her friends. We’re glad you enjoyed the special snack yesterday too Lily.
