This has been Cool to be Kind week in both school and nursery. In Nursery we had two special visitors arrive to help us think about how we could be kind. They were called the Kindness Elves and they had even sent us a letter! The letter said that they would be setting us challenges and looking to see all the kind things we could do in the nursery and we can also write them letters too! We all had a discussion about what rules we could have in our Nursery Charter and wrote some ideas in our talking book. The Kindness Elves are going to help us next week to decide which rules we will put up on our charter which is next to where the elves are going to be staying as they liked being in our nursery so much. There is a picture of the elves on our Facebook page and you are also more than welcome to come and see them in their little house. The children would be delighted to show you😊
As part of this special week’s focus we had an achievement assembly on Thursday and Miss Smyth got a surprise in her office when a letter appeared from the Kindness Elves with the names of the children who had tried really hard this week to be kind and they had even left special certificates for them.
Our AM children were Seren and Isabelle and our PM children were Mark D and Jiya.Well done for being our stars of the week.
We have also started practising this week for our Nursery Nativity which is on Tuesday 6th December at 10 am and 2pm save the date for what will be a very special event😊
To finish off our week we celebrated Children in Need by wearing spots or pyjamas. We made spotty headbands and pictures and danced to Pudsey music. We collected 80 pounds which was fantastic. Thank you to everyone for their kind donations.
We have also been continuing in PE with improving our fitness and have been working with both Mr McCurdy and Primary 7 to go round different fitness stations. It was great fun but hard work!
This week it is the turn of our PM children to share their learning.
Milena, Hanna and Jiya ” We love playing with the magnets”
Emilie M ” I like drawing pictures”
Mark D and Kayla ” We like building with the big bricks”
Syzmon” I like the sand”
Emalie ” I like doing jigsaws”
Some events coming up soon. This Tuesday 22nd November both AM and PM will be recording Christmas songs which will be put onto a Christmas C.D which will be available to buy at our Christmas Fun Day in school on 2nd December. Every class in the school will also be singing a song for this C.D. On Thursday 24th November will be family and individual photographs. For parents of new Primary 1 children coming to school next August there will be an information evening on Thursday 1st December at 6p.m.
We are always looking for ways of improving our Nursery and we really appreciate your ideas and feedback. In the entrance of the Nursery we have put up pink and green pieces of paper along with post it notes of the same colour. Pink for things you think we are doing well and green for any ideas you may have for us to take forward.

I loved meeting the kindness elves this week boys and girls. It was also lovely to hear all the ideas you had for our nursery charter. I especially liked you talking about being friends with each other. Well done to the stars of the week! You are setting a great example to the other children.
I am very excited about nursery nativity. I bet you will all be wonderful!
I’ll pop in to see you all when I get back to school on Thursday.
I wonder what adventures you will have next week!
