Wee Deans

On Thursday (for p.m. session) and Friday (for a.m. session) there is an opportunity for all nursery children (and the nursery team!) to dress up. It is connected with the school’s career event on Wednesday 7th where a group of adults, who have a wide selection of careers between them, will be questioned by the primary seven children. Our task is more straightforward –  we have to choose our favourite career and dress up accordingly.

Parent’s Night Tuesday 13^th March

All our nursery children will be offered an appointment with their key worker on Tuesday 13^th March. The appointment slots will be put up in the nursery corridor shortly. Please choose a time slot that suits you. If there is a problem with times, please speak to a member of the nursery team.

There are not enough book bags being returned each Tuesday (our Big Bedtime Read day) so we have to change our approach. From now on we will only give a book bag out if the previous one has been returned. It needs to be returned on a Tuesday at the start of a session so it can be checked and re-issued to another child. We are also requesting that if you can’t return the bag on a Tuesday you continue to use the books for another week then return it the next Tuesday. This keeps the organisation simple to manage. So it is a bag for a bag approach and only on a Tuesday. Thank you for your help with this.

As you know we always plan a summer nursery outing. The school order buses and we all pay towards the trip. Every child is accompanied by at least one adult and sometimes young siblings come too. It is great fun!

Usually we research various venues and then the final choice is up to you. We are always a large group though and need to book early. This year, we have chosen the venue as time has run away with us. We have taken on board the feedback from last year’s trip about traveling time and chosen a destination close by.

It is The Five Sisters Zoo near West Calder. The feedback from people who have visited is all very positive so we are hoping for a lovely day trip. The date chosen is Wednesday the 13th of June. Put it in the diary!

Initial costings indicate it will be around £20 for an adult and one child (including bus costs) but this may change a little as numbers come in. We will be asking you soon if you would like to go and how many people that involves to gives us more exact numbers and therefore an accurate costing.

More information e.g. exact cost and times will follow.
