Mrs. Irving has been looking at the photos of the children who went to the Friendship Club on Monday:
“I was so proud of our children bringing joy and happiness to the lives of the older people at the Friendship Club as they entertained and chatted! Well done to you all.”
The children were so well behaved and polite. They were certainly a credit to our Nursery.
We would like to welcome Miss Chelsea Currie to our Nursery. Miss Currie is a Nursery Nurse and will be working in the Raindrop Room on a Wednesday while Mrs. Maxwell attends her course. Some of you may remember Miss Currie from last year in our Nursery. We are delighted to have her back with us and hope that she enjoys her time with us.
Mrs. Gray has kindly left a message for the children:
“Hello boys and girls_ I have had such a lovely week in the new Raindrop room and garden. Lots of laughs, chat and learning while building relationships with the new staff, children and their families.I have been shopping and bought some new gloves to keep your little hands cosy in this chilly weather while we play in the garden.”
I think we might need those gloves this week Mrs. Gray. Thank you for thinking of everyone.
We would like to extend a very warm welcome to all our new staff who started this term. An increase in hours meant that we needed to expand our staff and we are delighted that, after interview, we were able to add the staff below to our team. Mrs. Stott and Mrs. J. Carruthers will be familiar faces to you all but they are now in new roles. We congratulate all the new staff, wish them well in their posts and look forward to working with them all in the future.
We would like to welcome two Dumfries College students to our Nursery. Nikita Blair and Sheree Robinson are undertaking their HNC Childhood Practices qualification. Nikita will be with us on Mondays and Tuesdays with Sheree joining us on Wednesdays and Thursdays. We wish them well on their placements and hope that they enjoy their time with us.
As we start a new year, we would like to warmly welcome two new members of staff to our Nursery. Miss Emma Fleming and Miss Rhianne McHarrie are Early Years Support Assistant Trainees and will both be working in our Nursery full time. They are looking forward to being part of our team and we are delighted to welcome them to work with our children and their families.
We would like to welcome Weronika Zwolinska to our Nursery. She started as a volunteer one morning last week and hopes to visit us on a regular basis to gain experience before training to work in Early Years. We hope that Weronika enjoys her time with us.
We would like to warmly welcome Meghan Branney to our Nursery. Meghan is in her second year of studying for a B.A.Hons in Education Studies at the University of Cumbria and will be in our Nursery on a Friday this term. We hope that Meghan enjoys her time with us and look forward to her working with our team.
If you are wondering who the new face is in our team, we have a student who started with us this week and will be attending our Nursery every Wednesday. Miss Kloe Woodbridge is an NC Early Education and Childcare student from Dumfries College and we look forward to her placement in our Nursery all year. Next week she will be in every day on a block placement to help her get to know all the children. Welcome to our Nursery Kloe. We hope that you enjoy your time with us.
Have you got a question about Nursery, want to know about the children’s special books or perhaps want to meet other parents/carers? You are welcome to pop in for a cuppa and a chat on Tuesday 5th September with Eileen Johnstone (Family Learning Co-ordinator)and Mrs. Carruthers (Nursery teacher). We will be in the Family Learning room opposite the school hall between 11.20 and 1.00 and look forward to seeing some of you there.
