Christmas Sing-a-long

Thanks to everyone who managed to come along to the Christmas Sing-a-long on Thursday 15th December. It was a lovely afternoon and all the children seemed to have a great time. Now we are looking forward to the Nursery party on Wednesday 21st December! Have a look at a few of our photos.

 

 

 

Christmas Tree

On Tuesday afternoon we put up our Christmas tree in Nursery! It is a real fir tree which came from Tyrebagger forest. The afternoon class were given the job of decorating it. As you can see from our photos the children were very excited!

Frost Walks

We took advantage of the cold weather last week to find out a bit more about the changing states of water. We went on walks to look at the frosty environment and to see what happened when the frost came inside. Hope you like our photos!

Children in Need

Well done to everyone who took part in the fundraising for Children in Need last week! We are still collecting and I will let you know the final total raised by the Nursery soon. We had a fun time in Nursery and I hope you all enjoyed the biscuits. Have a look!

Police Visit

Last week in Nursery we were visited by the Police! Davie Orr who is based at St Machar Academy came and talked to us about keeping safe. He also spoke about the role of the Police in the community and showed us some of the equipment he uses. Have a look at our photos!

Autumn Learning

As you know much of our learning has been related to “Autumn” since we came back from the October holidays. We have had great fun walking in the school grounds, hearing the Leaf Man story and making our own pictures of Leaf man. Have a look and see!

Welcome!

Welcome to the Afternoon Nursery Blog! We have had such a busy term getting to know each other and taking part in lots of activities. A big thanks to everyone who managed to come along to the Open Afternoon – it was a lovely day. Here are some of the photographs we took on the day.

 

Oh The Places You’ll Go….It’s Graduation Day!

It was Nursery Graduation today and nearly 60 of the children took part in our graduation ceremony in the dining hall today in front of a full house of very proud mums, dads, grandparents, aunties and uncles!

Each of the children received a certificate , a ‘goodie bag’, and wore their own mortar board hats. Halfway through the ceremony the children performed some of their favourite songs.

Even the teachers got a special certificate from Mrs Ironside and Mrs Sunley.

Congratulations, Class of 2015!!

Dear Parents and Carers,

It is with a mixture of sadness and excitement that I would like to let you all know I will be relocating to Tanzania in August to teach at Braeburn International School in Arusha. I have been given a wonderful opportunity to go and teach on a continent that I love and, while I am sad to leave Riverbank, I am truly excited to be moving on to this new adventure.

I will be keeping in touch with Riverbank as much as possible to let everyone know how I am getting on, and to find out all the news from Aberdeen. I will also be back to visit during my Christmas break!

It’s hard to believe the year has flown by so quickly! I am so proud of each of the children of Riverbank Nursery and all the amazing progress they have made this year. They have exciting changes coming up, especially those moving on to Primary 1.

Thank you for all your support and contributions over this year. We have had a super busy, fun and productive school year and now it is time for a well-deserved holiday!

I hope you have a wonderful summer!

Thank you again,

Miss Logan
