What a Great Day

Callum’s family has been looking at the photos from our RHET visit last week.

“WOW what a great day it was. Callum came home buzzing. He absolutely loved having the Massey Ferguson at Nursery. Farmer for the future, I think so😉.”

“Aw love this photo of Callum with the lamb. He is very good with animals. I can’t believe the size of the lamb he said, it’s just a a baby🤗

It was a great day. We’re glad to hear that Callum enjoyed it so much.

Happy Learning

As promised, here is snapshot gallery of the afternoon children enjoying the activities organised last week for us by RHET. As you can see from the happy faces, they enjoyed the visit by the tractor from Carr’s and our cute little lamb visitor just as much as the morning children. Thank you again to Fiona, Mrs. Ker and Carr’s for providing a great learning experience for the children. I wonder if we have any farmers of the future here?

RHET visit

On Thursday of this week we had a fantastic visit from RHET (The Royal Highland Education Trust) who provided the opportunity for the children to see a tractor and a lamb close up. Although a few children were initially a little shy of our visiting lamb, by the end of the visit most were stroking and brushing him. Thank you to Mrs. Ker for giving up her time to help the children learn so much about looking after a lamb. This was an experience they will all remember.
Thanks also go to local company Carr’s for providing a shiny new tractor for the children to explore and learn about. As you can see from the happy smiles, they all loved sitting up in the cab and finding out about the different switches and how the tractor is used. They compared the wheels to themselves in size, counted the bolts and made rubbings of the numbers and letters on the tyres. It really was amazing to them all how huge the tractor was close up.
Finally we would like to thank Fiona Jamieson, the project co-ordinator, who was so helpful in arranging this visit, ensuring all Health and Safety rules were followed and that the children had a great learning experience.
Here are photos of the some of the morning children. Afternoon photos will follow soon.

Visits to our Community

Two more families have been looking at our photos of the recent visits out to our community. Joshua H’s Mum said:

“All the children look like they enjoyed their visit to tesco. Especially those yummy pancakes 😊” and “Joshua loved looking at all the cctv, he said this was one of the best bits of the visit to the police station ☺”.

It’s good to hear that Joshua enjoyed himself. The children did like having a look at what was happening on the High Street.

Enid’s family also left us a comment:

“Enid has really enjoyed all the visits, but especially Tesco. She is using the fruit & veg reward chart to help encourage her to eat more fruit and veg and it is working 😊”

Well done Enid! I wonder if anyone else is using the chart at home?

The Giant Pancake

Olivia’s family enjoyed the photos of the children on their recent visit to Tesco:

“Fab pictures! Olivia really enjoyed her visit to Tesco especially getting the giant pancake for snack and putting items through the chekout! She told us the baker had been making pancakes for 29 years! 😄”

The baker certainly had been making pancakes for a long time but I’m not sure it was quite that long. It’s good to hear that you enjoyed your visit Olivia and you are right, those pancakes were delicious.

Tesco Teamwork

Just like the afternoon children, those in the morning thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Tesco last week. They also worked well together in teams and carried out the various activities with enthusiasm. Thank you again to all those parents who accompanied us and to Tesco for such an informative visit and the very generous goodie bags that the children took home. We really appreciate it.

Visit To Tesco

There were some very young staff working at Tesco on Thursday as Nursery children visited the store to learn about what happens in the shop and behind the scenes. They worked well in teams on their shopping tasks and had to think hard about finding different numbers of fruit and vegetables in various colours as well as the various cereal boxes on their shopping lists.
The walk-in fridge and freezer were a bit chilly for some but we soon warmed up when we donned our hats to watch pancakes being made in the bakery. This seemed to impress the children most of all as they gave a round of applause to Stuart and Leanne for being so clever at making pancakes. It was even better when they let us taste the freshly cooked pancakes in the canteen.
We would like to say huge thanks to all the staff at Tesco who were so patient and kind. The children thoroughly enjoyed their visit and we all appreciate the time you took to show them round the store. Thank you also to those tolerant staff who had their tea break disturbed in the canteen and to the parents who gave the time to make our visit possible. Here are the afternoon children busy in the store. Photos of the morning children will follow soon.

Police Station Take Two

The afternoon children showed great enthusiasm on their recent visit to the police station and enjoyed finding out all about a police officer’s job. Just like the morning children, they behaved beautifully and made us very proud of them all. Thank you again to all those parents who helped to make this visit possible.

Police Station Visit

This week’s visit to the police station was a great learning experience. We were shown round the cells as well as the different areas of the police station used for interviews, CCTV and fingerprinting. Some of the children tried out the hard beds and most agreed that they would not like to sleep there.
The police van, of course, was very popular and most had a turn at sitting in the front and the back of the van. The blue light and siren caused great excitement although some of us had to cover our ears the noise was so loud.
Thank you to all the parents who came with us on this visit – we appreciate your support. Thank you also to everyone at the police station for making us feel so welcome. These photos provide a taste of the morning children’s visit. We will try to post photos of the afternoon visit soon.
