We had a very special day in nursery last Friday, firstly by having Magic Muddles here to entertain us. I think we can safely say by the noise in the hall everyone had an amazing time. Secondly it was time to celebrate our big boys and girls graduating from nursery as they are set to leave us to be a big Primary 1. We also had our little ones graduating to be pre-schoolers. The lovely day was finished with a tasty picnic in the hall. Good luck to everyone, we hope you have a fantastic summer.
We have decided to simplify our graduation/moving on celebration next term so we will hold our moving on celebration at our Family Fun Day on the 31.5.19 at 11.30am – 12.30pm with a picnic lunch afterwards. There will be a cake, a song and a member of the management team will present a certificate and small gift. More details to follow………..
This year we have a change to one of our annual events. We have decided to replace the family outing day with family entertainment instead. This avoids the new legislation regarding child seats in buses and has the advantage of being cheaper too.
So we have the highly recommended “Magic Muddles” coming to perform a show at the school followed by a picnic lunch. Should be loads of fun for everyone.
Save the date 31.5.19 at 11.30am – 1.30pm

Our Parent Consultations are coming up soon on the 27th/28th March. Look out for the appointment times which will go up on the nursery corridor wall shortly. All you need to do is write your name beside the appointment time that suits you best. Please let us know if you have any difficulties with these times and we will try to accommodate you.
On Thursday (7th) we are inviting the children to come to nursery in their pyjamas with a favourite story book (clearly named please).
This is to celebrate World Book Day.
The school are celebrating this on Friday (8th) but we don’t want our afternoon children to miss out. The P.6 children will also be coming to nursery on Thursday to read some of our favourite stories to us.
A wee reminder not to bring toys from home in to nursery, precious items can be lost or broken and children can be left feeling upset. We have lots and lots in nursery for children to choose.
Please speak to the nursery team if you feel there is a special reason for a particular item to be brought by your child.
We promised a few weeks ago to update you when our new resources arrived, and we’ve had a few deliveries. We’ve got a lovely new painting easel and chalk board, new craft materials to encourage weaving skills and new musical instruments for the garden area which has proved to be a huge hit. Watch out Britain’s Got Talent! Lastly we have a new child friendly video camera.
As ever we very much appreciate the fundraising efforts of everyone involved as the children really benefit from exciting new things to play and learn with.
All of our recent fundraising has meant we have been able to buy some lovely new resources for nursery. Look out for some more arriving in the next few weeks.
So far we’ve bought some bricks for our outdoor area, some cushions for the reading area and added to our construction materials. Thank you all for your generosity.
We have noticed that our Big Bedtime Read has not been so popular recently. We have decided to change our organisation to see if that helps. We are making it much simpler to take/return books.
There is a stand in the corridor area with the Big Bedtime Read book bags. Please help yourself to a bag. When you return the bag simply replace it with another one. It is up to you to keep an eye on the number of the bag so you keep getting fresh books.
Hope this helps to increase the uptake. We all know how important reading a bedtime story is in promoting a love of books and developing early reading skills.
