Emma and Chloe’s family has been looking at the photos of their visit to Rev. McGougan’s church:
“Wow looks very exciting girls. Heard all about it from Emma she had a great time.”
Well done Emma for telling your family all about our visit. You must have been listening well.
Thom’s Mum has left a comment saying that they enjoyed the indoor curling Rev. McGougan arranged for us:
“We both loved this game!”
We all had fun trying it out too. I wonder if the Sunshine Room children will be able to try it out on their visit to church tomorrow?
As promised, here are the photos of the afternoon children visiting Rev. McGougan’s church this week and we are looking forward to the Sunshine Room paying a visit on Tuesday. Thank you to those parents who helped us by accompanying us on our outing – we greatly appreciate your help.
As part of learning about places in our community we started our term off with a walk to the United Reform Church this week. Rev. McGougan kindly invited us to his place of work to explore the building and learn what happens there. We found out what different objects in the church are used for and learned a little about its history. The careful climb up the staircase led to the upper part of the church where found out about the pews having been made from a shipwreck and were able to get a super view of the whole of the church.
Rev. McGougan also told us about lots of different groups that meet in the church hall through the week including a group that plays indoor curling. Children and adults alike all had a turn at aiming the curling stone at the target which was great fun and we finished off our visit with a look in the garden where Rev. McGougan showed us the beautiful birds that live there in big cages.
Thank you to Rev. McGougan for making us feel so welcome and to all the parents who came with us on our very interesting outing. Here are the morning children on their visit. We will post afternoon photos soon.
The Sunshine Room children enjoyed a visit to the police station towards the end of term as part of learning about our community and the different jobs we can do there. They all enjoyed seeing the different areas of the police station and, of course, the vans with their sirens and flashing blue lights were popular with most. Thank you to the staff at the police station for their patience and time to show us around as well as to those parents who were kind enough to accompany us on our visit. Hopefully, we should be able to rearrange our postponed visit by the Rainbow Room next term.

Unfortunately the Rainbow Room’s planned visit to the police station tomorrow (March 22nd) has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control. We hope that the children are not too disappointed and we will arrange another visit next term.
Shoppers at Tesco may have been a little surprised recently to see lots of Nursery children looking round the store as part of our World of Work Week. We went from the heat of the bakery ovens to the chill of the walk-in fridge and freezer to learn about how food is stored and baked. The area where the lorries make deliveries and the equipment that is used to move them showed the children another side to work at Tesco that they never normally see. The checkout was also popular as everyone had a turn to scan items through the till. We tasted different fruits, watched the chickens turning and heard about all the different types of milk they need to store … it really was a very busy visit.
Thank you to all the Tesco staff who were so patient and helpful on our visit as well as to those parents who came with us on our visit. We learned lots about working in Tesco and everyone was delighted with their goody bag to take home.
Dylan’s Mum has been looking at our football photos:
“All the children look really focused on what their doing with their footballs and like they are having lots of fun. Dylan has been showing us what he was learning with his football at home, sounds like super fun”
She also left a lovely message about her visit in to Nursery to play:
“I thoroughly enjoyed my morning in the nursery, thankyou, all the staff and children were very welcoming, it was so nice to see first hand at what Dylan gets up to in nursery day to day and how much fun he has with all his friends. I had great fun playing in the Chinese restaurant where I was cooked a yummy chicken and rice dish by a few of the children, it was good to hear how well their conversational and turntaking skills are developing as they asked me what i wanted, wrote down my order, cooked it, and asking me how it was. Thanks again for the opportunity to be able to pop in to stay and play, I’ll definatley be back again”
We love it when parents and other family members come in to play. Please do come back in anytime. The children really enjoyed your visit and it sounds like you enjoyed their hospitality in the Chinese restaurant.
The lovely weather this week has been a great incentive to get out and about with the Nursery children to take part in the Beat the Street campaign as part of the Scottish Government’s Smarter Choices Smarter Places initiative. As you can see, the children have enjoyed taking a walk to tap the Beat Boxes close to Nursery and have managed to earn points along the way. We hope that you are all joining in with this great Health and Wellbeing event with your families too.

Lewis’ family has been having a look at the photos from our trip to Dino Park:
“Lewis looks like he’s loving every second of Dino Park! What a wonderful day he had.”
“Thank you for organising such a fun day! Lewis had a ball!”
Thank you for your kind comment. I think we all thoroughly enjoyed our little outing.
