Nothing more lovely than seeing our children reading for enjoyment! We will definitely need around the room seating in our new nursery!

The early years class have been working hard to make their new home in the village hall a wonderful place for play and learning. The children are loving their new outdoor space and it’s lovely for them to see members of the community popping their head over the fence to say hello.

We had a fantastic day. We played on the park, went exploring on the beach, had a picnic and ice cream and even found the Gruffalo! 

Our new Primary 1’s enjoyed an opportunity to visit their new Primary 1 class. They had a wonderful day and weren’t at all phased by their new environment. Well done girls!

What a glorious afternoon to spend on the beach. The early years class made new friends on their visit. They wrote to Girvan nursery asking if they would like to meet up, Girvan nursery sent us a letter back saying that would be lovely. The children introduced themselves and quickly made friends. They built sand castles, dug trenches, transported water and splashed around in the sea.  We invited our new friends to come and visit us in Ballantrae next time so fingers crossed they will.

Today our Thursday adventures included our normal swimming session and then a visit to Glenapp Castle. The children are improving week on week at swimming and their water confidence is growing. At Glenapp we enjoyed a picnic at the tea room and then we took part in a spring treasure hunt. We found lots of wildlife to tick off on our list. Even the rain didn’t stop us having a great time. Thanks Glenapp for letting us explore your lovely gardens and woodland.

We had had a wonderful time a Scott’s farm. We met Daisy who we saw get milked, we then saw where the milk goes to before it gets collected and taken to the chocolate factory. We also met Jumper who was just 12 hours old. We fed the calves and got to sit in the big New Holland tractor. We finished our visit enjoying a kit kat and a carton of Daisy’s milk.

Some of us spent the morning down at the river. We were on a nature walk, using our eyes and ears to spot as many different living things as we could. We finished our walk with some pond dipping to see if we could find any creatures in the river. We managed to find an “ice skater!” (or pond skater). The most enjoyable part of the morning was spent in Mrs Drummond’s drive, watching her robot lawn mower!
