We have enjoyed working in our shoe shop where we have been measuring, selecting and trying a range of different shoes to see if they fit our feet. Once selected, we have been buying them at our till.

Can we remind all nursery parents who recieved a questionnaire to return them as soon as possible.

Kind Regards

Nursery Staff

P6 pupils will continue to run the Credit Union saving scheme this year. If you would like to join please ask any member of staff and you will be given an application form.

We are starting the term with the theme ‘All About Me’. If you would like to provide your child with family photographs or information that can be shared and displayed it would be much appreciated.

The nursery’s topic is nursery rhymes. They are learning about words that sound the same (e.g. jelly and belly)and this helps develop ‘phonological awarness’.  We hope they will do well and work hard to learn words whichsound the same and have great fun learning about nursery rhymes. We are getting ready for Easter and we are planning some fun activities.
