As part of our cluster schools Anti-sectarian programme, we have been learning a new song entitled ‘Doon Oor Street’. This was specially written for us by Mr Cowan, Head Teacher at Eastertoun Primary School. All the schools in the cluster have their own verses, to the same tune and each school is going to feature on the music CD. We recently went across to the primary school with about 8 of our children for a cluster schools practice. Our nursery children were absolutely fabulous and we were so proud of them!!! The actual CD will be getting made in September, so watch out for more information on this. Your child should be able to sing you a verse or two of our song, ask them!!

Fun Day
The sun shone for our annual Fun Day!!! While we were having our sports practice in the morning, the Enterprise Group set up our Gazebos and stalls for this popular event in our nursery calendar! We had a bouncy castle, face painting, hot dogs, children and adult tombolas, hook-a-duck, raffles, home baking etc. It was a brilliant day and we raised the fantastic amount of £563.53!!!!! Thank you so much to all who contributed in any way and to the Enterprise Group for organising the event!
Health Week
We had our Health Week recently which was a packed week of fun and learning for the children. We started the week off with a visit from A&E at St Johns Hospital. They explained to the children about the procedures for attending to broken bones. (A couple of the children in the nursery have plaster casts on!!) Mrs Gardner volunteered to have her arm put in a half plaster cast to let the children see what happens. Once it was set the children were able to role play with the cast.
Tuesday was a fun Zumba day with the children from both sessions enjoying exercise with Michelle Brown out in the nursery garden. The children really enjoyed this session, as did the staff!!
Wednesday we made a lovely exotic fresh fruit salad for snack. Good discussion took place about the various fruits, textures, colours, smell etc. The children helped prepared the fruit salad.
Thursday we played games centred around the Eat Well Plate. The children had to decide which were healthy foods and which were not.
The week culminated in a practice for our Sports Day. As it was a gorgeous day practices took place on the school playing field. The children had a fabulous morning taking part in the various potted sports.
