Finlay’s family would like to pass on their congratulations to you all on your performance at our recent graduation:
“A big well done to all the boys and girls on their graduation, you all sang and danced beautifully. Good luck to the boys and girls who will be going into P1 after the summer.”
We wish good luck to those moving on to P1 too. We’re sure you’ll have great fun and will continue to be fantastic learners.
Last week we had a visit from Beth who talked to us about money and how we use it. We learned to identify the different coins, enjoyed a super story that we were able to do lots of actions to and had fun doing some coin rubbings. Thank you to Beth for a fun learning experience.
It must be almost summer now as we seem to be spending more and more time outdoors. It was so gorgeous last week that we decided to visit our outdoor classroom at the front of the school and what a wonderful time the children had. They enjoyed investigating everything in sight with great excitement and, to finish off our visit, we all settled down in the seating area for a story. Let’s hope that the sun keeps shining so that we can enjoy lots more visits to this lovely area of the school.

As we continue to learn about growth and life cycles, we have been extending our learning to the outdoors where the children have been searching for minibeasts. Gardening tools, magnifying boards and clipboards have been at the ready as the children search for evidence of minibeasts in our garden. Here is some of the detective team in action.
Staying safe near electricity was the theme of one of our activities this week when we visited the school library. Andy told us all about the dangers of electricity and what we should do when we see someone doing something dangerous. If you suddenly hear your child shout “Stop!” and raise his or her hand, just ask them what they think you’ve done that is dangerous because they are very keen to watch out for grown-ups doing dangerous things. The children were very focussed during this discussion and enjoyed listening out for some of Andy’s questions about when we should say, “Stop!”
Meeting Sparky, Andy’s clever bird topped off a very enjoyable visit even though he was a little rascal who kept trying to bite off their fingers. As you can see from their faces, the children loved Sparky so thank you to Andy for bringing him along.
Further to a recent comment about Ollie’s allotment, his family have sent us a reply telling us what he grows there:
“We grow lots of things at our allotment, potatoes, onions, leeks, onions and lots more. Just let us know when you would like to visit. A Thursday and Friday are good for us.
On another note- it was very exciting to come home from work yesterday and hear all about safety with electric. Ollie totally understood all the reasons for being safe when around electric. Well done nursery staff- great work with little children as usual.”
Ollie’s allotment sounds like a brilliant place to visit especially with us having our own growing project in the Nursery garden. Hopefully we will be able to arrange a visit soon – our diary is at the ready and we will speak to Ollie’s Mum or Dad about it soon.
We’re glad that our learning about safety around electricity has also been successful. The children were very interested in this topic and we hope that this should show in their everyday lives.
Ollie’s family has left a comment on his photo:
“Ollie was super excited with his certificate this week. He has also been enjoying looking after his courgette whilst growing at home. He would love to show some of the children our allotment when the weather gets a bit better.”
Well done Ollie. You really deserved that certificate with your super knowledge of the body. We like the sound of a visit to your allotment. I wonder what you grow there?
Last week’s focus on road safety produced two other Star Award winners. They showed very good understanding of the rules of road safety and why we need to follow them so are now the proud owners of a certificate.
Finlay’s family commented on how pleased they are with his achievement:
“Well done Finlay, Mummy and Daddy are very proud of you for good listening on road safety. Keep up the good work.”
We hope that our latest award winners are equally proud.
