Kobe’s family has been looking at our photos of World Book Day:
“Kobe loved taking one of his favourite books to nursery”
Lots of the children seemed to enjoy this day and it was great to share all their books from home. Thank you for participating.

World Book Day Celebrations
Despite the original World Book Day celebrations being postponed due to the bad weather, we still had a lovely delayed event on Tuesday of this week. Lots of children dressed in their pyjamas or comfy clothes and brought their favourite books from home to share with us. What a lot of stories the Nursery ladies read that day! It was super to enjoy such a wide range of books with the children and to hear about what they enjoyed most.
“Bag Library”
We would like to remind you that Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, will be starting her “bag library” tomorrow, Thursday 8th March, outside Nursery. These story, rhyme and number bags are designed to encourage your child to enjoy reading and numbers and families can borrow a bag each week.
If your child attends Nursery in the morning you can collect a bag when you collect your child at the end of the morning session. The bag should be returned the following Thursday at the start of the morning session when you should leave it on your child’s peg. You can collect your new bag at the end of the session.
If your child attends Nursery in the afternoon you can return and collect a bag on a Thursday when you bring your child at the start of the Nursery session.
We hope that lots of families take advantage of this opportunity and thank Eileen for arranging it.
Choosing Books
Letti and Oscar’s family liked their photo at the book fair:
“Letti and Oscar both enjoyed choosing books from the book fair with their big sister to enjoy at home.”
We hope that you managed to get some great books. I wonder if your big sister helped you read the stories?
Reading Together New Dates
As we were disappointed that our families missed the opportunity for our reading together sessions last week, due to the adverse weather, we have rearranged the parent and child reading times for this Thursday 8th March (11.35 and 2.40), and Friday 9th March (11.35). We hope to see you then to share stories with your children.
World Book Day
World Book Day will now be held on Tuesday 6th March. The children can wear their pyjamas, onesies or non-uniform and can bring a favourite book from home to share with us. We look forward to seeing which books the children choose to bring to Nursery.
Reading Visit
We paid a little visit to the Book Fair in school today and enjoyed having a look at all the super books on display. We even managed time to read some to help us decide what kind of books we might like. It was great to see the children so enthusiastic about stories and we felt proud of their super behaviour and manners in the wider school environment.
Family Reading
We would like to remind you that Thursday 1st March (11.35 and 2.40), and Friday 2nd March (11.35) are the dates when parents are coming in to Nursery to read with their children. Thank you to those who have expressed an interest in this activity. We look forward to seeing you then.
Book Fair
We would like to remind you that the Scholastic Book Fair is in school on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Families can visit this in the school foyer and adjoining room to see the books on offer from 8.45 until 9.15 and 2.45 until 3.30. There looks to be a lovely selection of books so it is well worth a visit. We hope that you are able to pop in for a visit.
Happy New Year
As tomorrow is Chinese New Year, both the morning and the afternoon children performed a dragon dance along the school corridor to visit a few of the classrooms. As you can see, we took both our dragons along and got a great reception from lots of people along the way. It was lovely to visit different rooms, including Primary 1, where some of the children will be pupils next year, and Primary 5/6 where it was great to see the Primary 6 buddies who usually come to visit us.
Thank you to all the staff and pupils who made us feel so welcome with our dragon dancing and well done to Nursery boys and girls for showing great confidence in the wider school environment. Gung Hay Fat Choy!
