We are getting very active and sporty over the next few weeks –  this Wednesday, we are having 2 Tennis taster sessions from  James Thow- a coach with Tots Tennis, at Milngavie Tennis Club.   He is going to run a morning session and also one for our afternoon children.  Maybe we have a future Wimbledon champion within our ranks?

Next Thursday we have our first SFA coaching session for our pre-school children and,  on Monday 9th September, our wee ante-pre-schoolers are having a taster session of Enjoy-A- Ball- a fun class designed to teach ball skills.

Mondays are our days for using the gym in the school’s  Infant Department.  Gym sessions are always good fun, with warm up games, challenges on the apparatus, team games, parachutes and lots of other fun, as well as a nice, relaxing cool down session.  Using the school gym is great – the children become familiar with the infant building and we have the chance to see how our friends who went to school last year are faring. We get lots of practice at putting on our coats and hats and changing our shoes – independence skills we are going to need!   There is lots of space to run and play and the gym is particularly useful when the weather is horrible and we have lots of energy to use up.  We have to make sure that the children have appropriate footwear for the gym – gym shoes are best.  Please make sure your wee one has their name on their shoes, coats, hats etc-  it is very easy to lose un-named items,  particularly over at the gym!!  Even initials written on the label in indelible marker help us reunite belongings with their owners.  You can even borrow one from the nursery office!!   Many thanks for your help with this.
