Woop woop! What a fantastic day we have had. Everyone did so well and were ALL WINNERS!!! Thanks to everyone for coming along to support the children and cheer them all on!
As part of multi cultural week, Ibrahim and Hadiyaah brought their mums to help tell us about Pakistan. We got to see how we would dress if we lived there and even got to try some outfits on. We all thought they were very beautiful. We enjoyed hearing about the different modes of transport and seeing them all decorated with gems and gold. We also got to taste some traditional sweeties from Pakistan.
Sports day is this Thursday (16th) and the long range weather forecast is suggesting rain. If this is the case the sports day will be held in the gym hall. We will put chairs for the spectators on the stage ensuring you get the best view of the finish line! There are steps to get on the stage so please help those with buggies etc. to get up.
Nursery Graduation Ceremony
The nursery graduation ceremony takes place on Tuesday 28th. Doors open at 9.30/1.30. Every child in the nursery has been working hard at practising their songs, rhymes and dance moves! All children (ante-pre and pre-school) will get a small present and certificate to celebrate the fact they are moving on. Three tickets are reserved for each family and others should be available if requested. There is no charge for the tickets this year but there will be a donations bucket. There will be refreshments offered at the end of the ceremony and it would be lovely to have a wee chat before you all head off. We hope to finish around 11.00/3.00 so that the children can be ‘handed over’ in the hall. There will be allocated staff to ensure this is done safely. Remember when your child is ‘handed over’ you are then responsible for them.
We would kindly request that pre-school children wear a red top (school sweatshirt/polo shirt if possible) on the day and ante-pre children wear other colours (not red).
The nursery team are looking forward to seeing you all on this special occasion.
As part of our multi-cultural week, last week, Olivia and her mummy came to tell us some interesting information about Poland. We tried to count to five in Polish, say hello and goodbye and we learned about the different seasons and how the weather is different from Scotland. Olivia’s mum recruited some helpers to make a traditional Polish salad for snack, using apples, carrots and a little sugar.
Here are the children’s learning ideas.outline-of-childrens-learning-ideas-30.5.16 JUNE
We are using sun hats for the children in our nursery on very hot days so it is important that we are vigilant regarding head checks. Let’s hope the sunny days continue!
Sports Day 16.6.16 Information
The nursery sports day is on Thursday 16.6.16 at 10.00/2.00. It takes place out on the field unless it is raining or the grass is too wet in which case it is switched to the hall. At nursery we take the approach that every child is a winner for taking part so the emphasis is not just on who crossed the line first. There will be lots of claps for everyone. At the end there will be a medal presentation for all the children. At this time you will be able to take an individual photo of your child wearing the medal. As you are aware there are strict WLC guidelines about taking photos of other children at school events.  We intend that all the races will be completed by 11.00/3.00 so your child can be handed over to you from the field after all the individual photos have been taken. There will be allocated staff to ensure this is done safely. Please remember when your child is ‘handed over’ you are then responsible for your child. It would be lovely to see you all at this special event.
As part of our multi cultural week, Alyssa and her mum came to teach us some Romanian. Alyssa showed us her traditional Romanian top and they brought us some special crisps to try. We learned how to count up to 5 and some simple Romanian phrases (e.g. hiya, see you later, bye bye).
We all enjoyed ourselves during sibling day. It was great to see so many brothers and sisters. Thanks Robbie (brother of Max) for suggesting it to us. Sorry we didn’t get photos of everyone. Hope we can do it again sometime.
