The snow has thawed but suddenly it’s really icy – please take great care!  The pavements and car park round the school are treacherous!

Monday is football day in Nursery for our pre-school children, with the visiting SFA coach.  Wednesday is our gym day for the Red and Orange groups.

On Wednesday we are having our  BA teaching students who start a three week placement with us in April, in for the day.

Friday is Red Nose Day and it is “Wear something red to nursery day!”  There were interesting comments in the news at the weekend about the plastic red noses which are on sale for the day.  They cost £1.25 – only 65p of this goes to Comic Relief.  They also contribute to the mountain of plastic rubbish we have to get rid of.  Maybe this is the year to paint your nose red with lipstick and give the money to the charity instead!!!  One school in England has decided to do this and gained David Attenborough’s seal of approval.  The company which sell them have also been particularly cynical this year, encouraging children to “collect them all”.   We are looking forward to having lots of fun this Friday, with or without noses, making Red Nose Day cakes and enjoying some crazy activities.  Don’t worry if your child doesn’t own anything red – dressing up is never compulsory!

We also have Mr Snappy and Friends coming to nursery with Susan on Friday for a fun filled music session, and our wee Forest Kindergarteners will be taking their red noses to Barloch moor for forest fun!

There is a sheet in the hall which you can sign up for a booking for our Pop Up Cafe on Friday 25th March – it is just beside the Nursery Uniform display.  Please sign up – it’s going to be fab!!

It’s the last week of the Name the Boat Competition – there are entry forms in the hall on the radiator and a wee box for the suggestions and the money!  All proceeds go to funding the refurbishment of our magnificent green boat!  Many thanks!
