Thank You

Paulina’s Mum left us a comment when she saw the photos of her telling the children about Christmas celebrations in Poland:

“That was very nice time with children. Thank you very much for that, special for beautiful songs for me. Monika. (paulina’s mum ) xx”

We really enjoyed learning about your family celebrations and are glad that you enjoyed the children’s singing.

Polish Christmas


Recently the afternoon children were lucky to learn first hand about Christmas in Poland from Paulina’s Mum and it was very interesting to find out about the traditions that are similar and some that different to Christmas in Scotland.
The children were surprised to learn that Santa visits children in Poland on December 6th with a small gift then returns on the 24th with their main present. They often have beetroot soup with pasta to start their Christmas meal which is on December 24th and they usually have fish as the main course rather than turkey like many people in Scotland. Paulina’s family, like most Polish families, always has an empty chair at their table for their Christmas meal in case a stranger calls and wants to join them.
We all loved hearing about Paulina’s Mum’s Christmas traditions from the past and present and would like to thank her for helping us to learn about Christmas in another country. We hope that she enjoyed the songs that the children performed for her by way of a thank you.

Kind Comments

We have had two more lovely comments from our families about our Christmas celebration.

Thom’s Mum said, “We absolutely loved the concert, everyone did so well, we were all so proud. Thank you!”

Finlay’s family also enjoyed the children’s performance: “What a great photo of Finlay. We were so proud of him on Friday, he had been practising his songs at home so it was lovely to see him performing them . All the children worked so hard learning the words and actions to their Christmas songs. A lot of hard work from the children and staff. Well done.”

The children were little stars. Thank you for taking the time to leave comments, especially such kind ones. We are delighted that you enjoyed their performance.

Super Celebration

Dylan’s Mum has been looking at the photos of our Christmas celebration:

“We absolutely loved watching the children in their Christmas celebration, we are very proud of Dylan and all the other boys and girls as they done really well, standing up infront of a big audience singing their wee hearts out and all looked so cute. A big well done to all the staff cause all ur hard work really paid off, was truly a lovely celebration 🙂 xxx”

Thank you for your comment. We were certainly proud of every one of the children who showed great confidence in front of a big audience.

Christmas Celebration

We hope that, like us, you were very proud of all the children as they behaved and sang so beautifully in front of a big audience at our Christmas celebration on Friday. Huge thanks go to Rev. McGougan, Mrs. Alexander and Mr. Palmer for joining us and to the many family members who helped to make this a special occasion for the children. Here are a few photos of the children as they prepared for their performance.

Well Done Everyone!

Kacey’s family has been looking at some of our photos and commented on how she enjoyed our recent Family Learning activity:

“Kacey enjoyed making her Christmas decorations ( so did I) we had a great time , sadly our rain deer nose didn’t last very long so we made him a non edible one!”

Kacey’s Mum also wanted to congratulate everyone on the fundraising efforts for the Carlisle flood victims and for the performance at Annan Day Care Centre.

“Well done guys! It’s so nice to hear there’s so many kind and thoughtful people around….x”

“A www so cute! Well done everyone…..Merry Christmas…x”

The children have certainly made us so proud in lots of ways over the last week or two so a huge ‘well done’ to all of you.

Rudolph’s Nose Part two

Mollie’s Mum left a comment to say how much she and Mollie enjoyed Eileen’s Family Learning activity:

“Mollie loved making the Christmas decorations, they are all sitting proudly on our tree, even Rudolph’s lollipop nose is still intact! Thank you once again Eileen!”

It seems amazing that these lollipops are not getting eaten. Well done Mollie! Eileen has sent me these photos of some of you with your finished decorations and you all look pleased with your efforts. There must be some lovely Christmas trees in the Annan area this year.

Family Fun

Thanks must go again to Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, for providing super Christmas activities for children and their families to enjoy together. When I called in to the Family Room, there were owl decorations and angels on the go and they certainly looked like good fun. No doubt they will brighten up your Christmas trees.
It’s lovely to see lots of families participating, despite everyone being so busy at this time of year, and we really appreciate Eileen offering these sessions. Watch this space next term for more Family Learning activities.

Adventures In Nursery

Jim’s family has been looking at the photos of us making chocolate shapes for the Christmas Fayre:

“Jim is loving all the really exciting things that have been happening at nursery and is full of stories of his ‘adventures’ as he calls them. Thank you to all the nursery team, you are fantastic.”

It’s great to hear that Jim’s enjoying himself. It’s certainly a busy time of year in Nursery. Thank you very much for your kind comment.
