“We Love You Hugless Douglas”

Thom and his Mum left a comment on our visit to Annan library:

“We enjoyed our Library visit, our books were due back that week and Thom was extremely pleased to find the book Marion read to us, ‘we love you hugless Douglas’ and guess what? It’s at our house now, we’ve read it a few times to Daddy and Sophie!”

It was a great book and everyone listened well to that one. I hope that Daddy and Sophie enjoyed it too Thom. It was lucky that it was still there when you went back. Thank you to your Mum for coming along to the library. It’s great to have parents with us.

Library Fun

Two of our parents have been looking at the post about our visit to the library.

“Thank u for giving the children this great opportunity for good link with the library. Dylan loves books and always loves going to the library and he thinks it’s great that he is getting to go with nursery too. After his first visit with nursery he asked to go and get the monster truck book he had a look at when he went with nursery “

I hope the monster truck book was there when you went back to the library Dylan? You are lucky going there with your family and Nursery.

“Kacey really enjoyed her library visit ,the only complaint she had was the chairs are to low for the table and she couldn’t see her book! Good job Owens daddy was there to read it to her..x”

Next time we go to the library we’ll have to find you a better seat Kacey but it was kind of Owen’s Dad to help you out.

Library Visit

To further develop links with our wider community, we have begun to visit Annan library on a Monday. Each room will visit on alternate weeks to build their literacy skills and become familiar with our local library. We apologise to those in the Sunshine Room who were expecting to go on their first visit today but we really felt that the high winds made this a safety issue for the children. Hopefully we will be able to make a visit soon.
Last week the Rainbow Room made their first visit and the children seemed to thoroughly enjoy the experience. Marion made us very welcome and explained to the children that they could come to the library with their families to borrow books. She read us some super stories which engaged the children and they then had the opportunity to choose books to share with adults and other children. We hope that you love these photos as much as we do – it’s great to see our children so engaged with books.
We would like to thank those parents who came with us on our first visit and those who have kindly volunteered to join us in the future. We really appreciate your support and look forward to lots of parents being part of our visits. Well done also to the children for their super behaviour – Marion was very impressed with you all and is looking forward to our next visit.

Well Done Chloe

Chloe’s family is delighted with the certificate she received last week:

“Chloe was over the moon with her award and was so excited to tell me all about it when I got home from work. Very proud mummy, daddy and big sister (Emma). Well done Chloe. xx”

It’s lovely to hear that Chloe was so excited about her award. She thoroughly deserved it so well done Chloe.

Christmas Craft Gift

We would like to say thank you to Luca and his family for their kind donation of some fantastic craft resources. We are sure that the children will enjoy all the Christmas crafts, glitter, pens etc. and look forward to having fun with them later this term. Thank you so much for your generous gift.

Photo Comments

Kenzie’s Mum has been looking at the photos of the ghosts the children made in Primary 1:

“Kenzie loves her ghost, still got it at home. Loves scaring everyone who comes to visit.”
Well done Kenzie for looking after your ghost. I hope your visitors aren’t too scared.

Leah’s Dad enjoyed the outdoor play and party photos:

“Leah enjoying her snack and looking great as usual!” and “Leah having a fantastic time playing with her pals outside”.

Thank you both for taking the time to leave comments.

Dylan’s Ghost

Another parent has left a comment about the children’s visit to Primary 1 for craft activities:

“Dylan really enjoyed his visit to p1, he said he was a big school boy and he loved making his ghost and scaring his sister with it.”

We’re glad you had a good time Dylan.

Ghosts and Pumpkins

Two of our families enjoyed the photos of our Hallowe’en crafts in Primary 1:

“Aww, Thom fair enjoyed his visit, he told us all about it and we loved his ghost.”

“Brilliant ghosts everyone” (Kacey’s Mum)

Thank you for leaving us a comment. The children certainly had great fun making their ghosts and pumpkins.

Thank You

We have a lovely message from a parent for Miss Awde who has just left Nursery:

“Thank you for all the help & support you gave Grant & Scott.
You will be missed. Good luck & best wishes for the future.
Gayle Little”

We will all miss Miss Awde very much too. Thank you for your kind message.

Story, Rhyme and Number Bags

Story, rhyme and number bags will be given out from this Tuesday 3rd November to those who would like them. These bags are designed to encourage your child to enjoy reading and numbers. Each story/rhyme bag has a book and a game or puppets connected to the story/rhyme. The number bags contain a game.
If your child attends morning Nursery sessions you can collect a bag at the end of the session from Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, in the Family Learning room opposite the school hall. Those attending Nursery in the afternoon can collect bags at the start of a session. Bags can be kept at home for a week and exchanged the following Tuesday. If anyone can spare twenty minutes to help Eileen check the bags, it would be much appreciated. We hope that lots of our families will join in with the activity bags “library”.
