Successful Learners

Stories In Pyjamas

World Book Day is always a lovely opportunity to celebrate our favourite books and to encourage the children to enjoy stories. This year, as part of a whole school celebration, the Nursery children wore their pyjamas to Nursery and brought in their favourite books. It was great to see that almost everyone participated and amazingly some even brought a book that matched their pyjamas.
Primary 6 buddies from P7/6 came to visit (in their pyjamas of course) and were super storytellers, making sure that every child had their favourite book read to them. We hope that you enjoy these photos from World Book Day – more will follow in the next few days of their visit to Annan library as part of our celebrations.

Congratulations

Here are our smiling certificate winners from last week. Well done to you all – some got awards for being kind and helpful, others for super writing and great work with puzzles but you all made a wonderful effort in Nursery last week. Congratulations!

Learning About Money

Last week the morning children had a visit from the Financial Education Officer who provided a range of activities to involve the children in thinking about money and how we use it.
It comes as no surprise that they had lots of ideas about how they like to spend money and they enjoyed taking part in the interactive reading session which included lots of rhyme and actions. There was an activity to learn about the value of different coins and the children then had great fun making rubbings of coins. Thank you very much to Bev, the Financial Education Officer. We look forward to your visit next term when the afternoon children will enjoy learning about money with you.

Terrific Tattie Scones

After our recent Family Breakfast event, you were invited to take home the breakfast menus which included recipes for tattie scones and oatcakes. Mollie and her Mum followed the tattie scone recipe to make some heart shaped scones in preparation for Valentine’s Day and have sent us a photo of their finished product. What a good job you’ve done – your scones look too good to eat. If anyone else has photos to share with us, we would love to see them.
Photos of our Family Breakfast will be posted here soon.

The certificates this week were awarded to two children who have made super progress with their writing. Both of them have shown great concentration and hard work in the writing area and it has certainly paid off. Well done to you both – we are impressed with your learning.

Congratulations

Last week’s award winners received certificates for a range of achievements and they were very well deserved. Congratulations to all three of you!

Certificate Winners

Here are our certificate winners from last week. Well done to you all. We are very proud of you.

Jack Frost

During our discussions about the changing seasons, we enjoyed a book which had Jack Frost as a character. We then shared our ideas about what he might look like and where he lives. As always, the children had some wonderful ideas which we thought you’d like us to share with you.

Eden: he looks cold and frosty. He’s blue.
Max L: Jack Frost looks in the window to watch you. He lives in snow.
Ayda: he’s got snow all over him and a hat and clothes and boots ’cause he doesn’t want snow in his socks.
Mollie: he’s all snow but his face is probably brown. His house is made of brown paint or maybe white to get him warm.
Lucas: he makes ice. He lives up on the tree.
Sophie M: Jack Frost is actually a teenage boy and he has a sister. The ice cracked and he fell in the water.
Zander: he lives at the North Pole and he runs fast to get there. He’s got a jumper.
Ben: he’s like the wind. He eats cabbage. I think he lives in a snow house.
Conan: he’s got white hair. He wears blue clothes and has lots of snow.
Ellie: Jack frost looks like a monster. He’s white.
Jade S: he can fly.
Kacey: he looks like snow. He lives outside in lots of snow.
Keira M: he’s covered in snow and he’s got a big kind of nose.
