Wee Deans

We have invited all the siblings of children in the nursery to visit us on Wednesday 25^th of May. Everyone has received an invitation with a suitable time and is popping their reply in to the special box outside the nursery. Our nursery children enjoyed delivering the invitations to all the classes and are really looking forward to the big day.

 

We are planning to have a week of experiencing some aspects of different cultures. We have already held a Scottish week and discussed our traditions so it would be nice to extend this to other nations. We would like volunteers to provide some different experiences for our children. For example, you might have knowledge of another country’s traditional stories or poems that you would like to share. There might be some traditional food that you could help us make with the children. You might have some traditional dress you could show us. In fact, anything that gives us an insight in to a different culture would be great. Please speak to one of the nursery team if you have an idea and don’t be shy!

Showcase 28.4.16

As you will have read in the March Newsletter there is a showcase opportunity coming up in the school next Thursday (28.4.16) from 6.00 – 7.00.  This has a Health & Wellbeing focus and there are many activities for you to see/join in with.  This year there is a nursery to primary one transition presentation being offered to which all nursery parents, who have children going in to primary one at Deans, are warmly invited. We have used the questions you returned to us in the recent questionnaire to create the presentation so hopefully we will be answering all the questions you have.

 

Here are our learning ideas for this weekoutline of children’s learning ideas 18.4.16

We had a morning  and an afternoon session winner of our Easter Basket Prizes. Thank you for all the people who bought tickets at our parent consultations. We raised £49 . The lucky winners are pictured below.

 

We are looking at some new furniture to buy which would enable us to make role play corners with drapes. We will let you know what we finally choose. Thank you again for your support.
