It’s so nice to see a family comment now that our blog problems are solved. Ava’s family has been looking at the photos of the children trying out Highland dancing:
“Ava had great fun doing the highland dancing she was even doing it at home.”
Well done Ava for having a go at home. The children really did enjoy dancing to the Scottish music and were asking for it again today.
We are delighted at how well all our new children have settled in to Nursery life in such a short space of time. Thank you to their parents for working with us to make this a happy experience for the children.
We would like to remind you that we plan to have a small celebration on Burn’s Day, Wednesday 25th January. It would add to the occasion if the children could wear a little ‘touch o’ tartan’. Hopefully most of them have or can borrow a hairband, a ribbon or a scarf for the day and anyone who has a kilt or a tartan outfit would certainly help us to celebrate the day in style. If your child does not have anything tartan, please do not buy anything new as this is a very informal occasion and they will hopefully enjoy themselves regardless of what they are wearing.
If you would like to hear the children singing their Scottish songs, after they have enjoyed their little ‘Burn’s supper’, please come in early at 11.40 or 2.45.
Please remember that Eileen is in the Family Learning room (opposite the school hall) on Tuesdays to give out story, rhyme and number bags for your child to take home. Each story/rhyme bag has a book and a game or puppets connected to the story/rhyme. The number bags contain a game and all can be borrowed for one week.
If your child attends Nursery in the mornings, you can collect a bag at the end of the morning session and afternoon children can collect their bag at the start of the session at 12.15. We hope that lots of families will take the opportunity again this term to have fun with learning at home by borrowing these bags and we thank Eileen for organising it for us.
More parents and grandparents joined the children on Friday to take part in the Family Learning ‘make and take’ Christmas activities organised by Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator. We hope that your wreaths are now adding to the festive decorations in your homes. Thank you again Eileen for organising these fun sessions. Everyone seems to have thoroughly enjoyed them.
Joshua H’s Mum has been looking at the photos of the children practising their Christmas songs:
“Aw Joshua looks stunned like he’s been caught off guard. Was the flash on the camera? Lol”
No doubt Joshua was concentrating on the actions as well as the singing. We hope that everyone enjoyed the children singing today.
We hope that you are all looking forward to our Christmas celebration tomorrow, Tuesday 13th December. Morning parents can join us at 11.20 and afternoon parents at 2.20. The Nursery door will be opened for entry through the usual entrance and parents/carers can park in the John Bell car park.
We are keeping our Christmas celebration informal to encourage the children to enjoy a relaxed and happy performance of the songs they have been learning. Rev. Pickles has kindly agreed to join us and we are delighted that many of our families have indicated that they would like to be part of our celebration. As you can see, the children have been practising to make sure that you enjoy their songs. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
Kobe’s family is delighted with his recent certificate:
“Kobe was really happy with award! Mummy and Daddy are very proud!”
Well done Kobe! We are all proud of you.
Olivia’s family has been looking at the photos of the children making the Christmas chocolate shapes:
“Olivia had a fantastic time creating these chocolate shapes! She has been telling us all about what happens to chocolate when you heat it! Just ashame she is unwell and wasn’t able to go to the Xmas fayre! I’m sure it was a huge success!”
Well done Olivia for remembering what you learned. We hope that you feel better soon.
Harvey’s family enjoyed the photo of him helping to decorate the Nursery Christmas tree:
“Nice to see Harvey helping with the Christmas tree! We already have ours up at home which he loves! 🙂 ”
You certainly made a good job of our tree Harvey so I’m sure your tree at home will be lovely too.
