Ronald McDonald House Glasgow provides accommodation for families attending Yorkhill sick childrens Hospital in Glasgow. One of our afternnon pupils has stayed in the house when visiting her little sister who is receiving treatment at the hosptial. We enjoyed attending the assembly to watch the presentation and learn more about the hosptial and the very special house.

Well done to all the children in the school and nursery for raising money for Ronald McDonald House!

The children in the nursery are busy learning their jobs as Eco monitors. Our jobs include Litter Pickers, Waste Monitors and Water Monitors. We try hard to recylce our paper and our junk. We are learning what to use the different bins for and have to try hard to remember to feed the worms and the compost bin with our leftover snacks.

Well done all the children in the nursery!

The children in the nursery have been learning all about Chinese New Year. We tried many Chinese foods and had a Chinese restaurant in the nursery. We made dragon puppets and a huge Chinese dragon. We enjoyed having our own parade around the nursery.

We are busy decorating plates and making decorations to sell at the Christmas fair in the school. We will put some pictures on the blog soon of our lovely crafts.

We have been learning about the Hindu festival of light ‘Diwali’. We read the story and looked at Diya lamps.  We had fun dressing up making our own saris and making rangoli patterns. We watched Diwali celebrations on the Smartboard and have been learning about fireworks and fire safety.

In the nursery we have been reading the nativity story ‘The Sleepy Shepherd’. We are all trying hard to learn the songs and we look forward to performing the nativity on 12.12.13 in the school hall.

The nursery pre school children are looking forward to starting their project with the P1 children where they will be learning all about ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’. We are excited to work with the P1’s in their classrooms.

The children in the nursery have been working hard to plant potatoes. The morning children planted 4 potatoes and the afternoon children planted 3. We have to remember to feed and water them to help them grow. We can’t wait to harvest the potatoes and use them for snack.
