It’s great to see that some of our new families have been looking at the blog, enjoying our photos of the first few days of their first term:
“On the computer as usual! He loves his new nursery!!:-)”
We’re glad that he’s happy and settled. It’s amazing how quickly the children settle in to Nursery life.
Callum’s family has been looking at the Christmas Jumper Day photos:
“Lovely photo of Callum Sophie and Faye. Happy Christmas jumper day”.
The children look so happy in these photos. We think they were starting to realise that Christmas is getting close.
Mollie’s Mum was pleased with the book hamper she won:
“The book hamper was wonderful, thank you so much! Mollie was very happy indeed.”
She also left us a comment about our Christmas performance:
“What lovely singing! I loved seeing Mollie all dressed up and enjoying singing songs with all the afternoon boys and girls.”
We were all very proud of all the children who performed so well in front of a very big audience.
We have some photos of the children as they prepared for our Christmas celebration with their families. We hope that, like us, you were very proud of them all as they behaved and sang so beautifully in front of a big audience. Thank you so much to Rev. McGougan for joining us and to the many family members who helped to make this a special occasion for the children.

Emma’s Mum has been enjoying our photos of the party:
“Emma loved meeting Santa. Thank you to everyone involved. xx”
“Fun and games. Looks like everyone is having fun. Emma said she’d had great fun.”
Emma and her Mum enjoyed Eileen’s Family Learning Christmas activities too:
“We had a great time making the Christmas Card, Tree decoration and most of all our Rudolph sandwich. He was lucky to make it home in one piece as it was blowing a gale when we left!! Thank you Eileen your ideas are great.”
Those reindeer sandwiches have been very popular – I wonder if anyone will make one to leave for Santa on Christmas Eve?
We hope that you are all looking forward to our Christmas celebration later this week. Afternoon parents can join us on Wednesday (17.12.14) at 2.30 and morning parents on Thursday (18.12.14) at 11.30. 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. McGougan has kindly agreed to join us again, despite a jam-packed diary, 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 are practising to make sure you enjoy their songs. We look forward to seeing you later this week.
Sophie’s Mum enjoyed the Family Learning activities and kindly left us a comment:
“I think us grown ups had more fun than the children. Sophie really enjoyed her reindeer sandwich, she described it as delicious.”
There’s no doubt that those reindeer sandwiches were popular. Good idea Eileen!
Kacey’s Mum commented on the Family Learning photos:
“Kacey had great fun making things at the family time, my favourite was the reindeer sandwich.”
I thought the reindeer sandwich was lovely too – almost too cute to eat.
Thanks must go again to Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, for providing super Christmas activities for children and their families to enjoy together. There were reindeer sandwiches, Christmas cards and decorations on the go in the Family Room and they all looked like good fun. It’s lovely to see so many families participating, despite everyone being so busy at this time of year, and we really appreciate Eileen offering so many sessions. Even Steve the Star from the Sunshine Room made an appearance and seemed to be very interested in everything. We are already discussing the next Family Learning activity so watch this space early next term.
