Butterflies, Stick Insects, Frogs – what a menagerie!

Ready to Read
11th July 2017
Encouraging children to develop language skills, read and enjoy books at an early age is vital, and the earlier the better. That’s the message from Scotland’s nursery inspectors at the Care Inspectorate as they back a campaign to improve children’s early language skills.

P1 MAGIC Graduation Party – BEST of luck to our boys and girls who will be leaving us to go to
11th July 2017
This year we have 22 very grown up boys and girls who will be leaving us at the end of the Summer (or before) to start the next exciting part of their lives in P1! As a special treat, our “2017 leavers” held a Magic Graduation Party and invited mums and dads along too. The boys and girls LOVED Magician Dreen who had us flabbergasted with all of his AMAZING tricks! They also made us FILL with pride when they walked up the red carpet to receive their graduation certificate and goodie bag! They looked so grown up in their hand-made hats and sashes! They finished off the evening with lots of hilarious photos in our photo booth. A great time was had by all! MANY thanks also to Meina’s grandma for our DELICIOUS graduation cake!
“Daily Mile” challenge
11th July 2017
We are trying to complete our “Daily Mile” challenge by walking LOTS during the day. Rob and Alistair (our Prime Four Ambassadors) have been exploring the new landscaped area with us in the Northern Park. We can’t wait to hunt for mini-beasts, have teddy bear picnics, practice our sports, play team games and investigate the plants and flowers!
