Harli’s Mum made a photo comment on one of our trip photos:
“What a brilliant pic! Harli really enjoyed herself and was very tired on monday night after all the running about at Farmers Den!”
They do look very happy in that picture, don’t they? It’s not surprising that she was tired after her day out – what a lot of running about they all did.
Our recent end of year outing to the cinema followed by lunch and a play session at Farmer’s Den seemed to be very popular with both the morning and the afternoon children. Thank you to all those parents who came with us as volunteers and to staff at the cinema and Farmer’s Den who made us feel very welcome. The children certainly seemed suitably exhausted at the end of their busy day.
Last week’s sunshine and showers seemed to bring a sudden spurt of growth in our vegetable garden. The children have been excited to see the little courgettes starting to form and all the other vegetables which are showing great progress. Well done children and all those parents who helped in this project – you’ve obviously got great gardening skills. Thank you also to Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, for providing us with all our equipment and for organising this project. It’s been great fun and a super learning experience.

Primary 6 are delighted that the Nursery children and their parents are pleased with their buddying skills. Harli’s Mum has added a comment which will please Chloe:
“It makes us very happy as parents to know theres an extra friendly face looking out for Harli as she starts “big school”, she’s already been watching out to see if she can spot Chloe in the playground in the morning and has taken great pride in telling friends and family about her buddy.”
Today art aprons went up to Primary 6 with the children so you could ask them at home what they were doing. We thought it was about time we put up a few more photos of the children with their buddies so here are some from one of their visits to the playground.
We have had two more photo comments about our buddy activities. One is from Finlay’s Mum:
“I would just like to say thank you to Finlay’s Buddy Lauren, Finlay is extremely happy that you are his buddy and I think it is a great idea for Nursery children/parents to meet their buddies before moving into P1. Well done to all P6 for taking on this role, I am sure you will all do a brilliant job.”
Zak, one of our Primary 6 buddies, has also added a lovely comment:
“Me and my cute buddy Abbi we have had great fun with each other throughout the activities that have been prepared by my wonderful teacher Mrs Johnson. :-)”
Thank you everyone for all your feedback and keep up the good work Primary 6.
Kyle’s Mum has made a comment on one of our photos:
“Kyle is enjoying having a buddy he likes to go up to p6 and doing activities with noah. I think having a buddy will help kyle to move into p1 more easier.”
We’re glad that Kyle’s having fun. No doubt his buddy will do his best to make sure that he does everything he can to help Kyle settle into Primary 1.
Ollie’s family has left a comment for you all to keep you up to date with their allotment and the potatoes you planted.
“We are so glad that you had a fun time at our allotment and enjoyed the little buns after all your hard work. We have been enjoying the sun this week but we have been having to hose our potatoes each night so although we don’t actually want rain maybe a little that’s due tonight will help our potatoes grow. Remember boys and girls if you are ever out walking near the allotment pop in and say hello if we are around.”
We did all have great fun on our visit so thank you again from everyone. Maybe some of you boys and girls might be able to show your families where we went with Ollie’s family? I do see a little rain tonight so hopefully that will help the potatoes to grow.
Planting is now complete in the garden and there are promising signs that everything is starting to grow which is exciting for the children. Eileen would like to say a big thank-you to all the adults who came to help and to the families who grew courgettes and beans at home – these have now been planted in the beds. We would like to say special thanks to Shay’s Grandad for the hints and tips and the lovely book on vegetable and herbs that he has donated to the Nursery. All we need to do now is wait for harvest time. We hope that everyone can keep an eye on the plants to see how they are doing.
Everyone is learning so much about growing this term and the latest venture for the morning children was to visit Ollie’s allotment. We donned our wellies and went on an adventure up the muddy hill and through the secret path to the little corner of Annan where Ollie’s family grows their vegetables.
Ollie’s Mum, his auntie and his cousins were there to meet us but really Ollie was the main guide of our tour. He showed us how to dig the soil (good teamwork there with Reilly to use that tricky tool) and where he likes to climb trees. We saw lots of different vegetables that they have planted and Ollie showed that he knew what he was doing when he pulled out two leeks which his Mum was going to use to make soup.
Ollie’s Mum had very kindly brought several different types of potatoes so that everyone could plant their own and we all put them in their own little hole and covered them up. Let’s hope we did a good job and that Ollie and his family have a big crop this year. We all had such a lovely time on our Ollie adventure that we didn’t think it could get any better. However, when we got back to Nursery, he even had a tasty little cake waiting for us all which he’d made at home. Thank you so much to Ollie and his family for your kind invitation. We had a brilliant time and I think some of us might pop back to your sunny little corner in a week or two to see if our potatoes have started to grow.
Finlay’s Mum enjoyed our recent visit to the police station:
“Thank you for letting me take part in the visit to the police station, it is always fun to help out with outings. Finlay really enjoyed the police station, Finlay said his favourite part was sitting in the police van pretending to drive. Finlay says he now wants to be a police man when he is older.”
The van was really popular wasn’t it? I hope we didn’t disturb the neighbours too much when we kept trying out the siren. Good luck Finlay with becoming a police officer – we think that you’d be very good at looking after us when you are older.
