I have recently finished my first year studying at Edinburgh Medical School and I am excited to work with the children and learn more about how to care for others. Having previously enjoyed volunteering at 22 Street Lane Nursery for a year during sixth form, I am looking forward to becoming part of the team once again. I love working with children and I am excited to support them to thrive and grow up. Away from work, I enjoy playing golf and spend time with my friends and family”.

NEWS Country of the Month: SAUDI ARABIA

Depending on the moon, we will be celebrating the end of Ramada ‘Eid al – Fitr’ on either 5 th /6 th June which is an important celebration to many of our children. To tie in with Eid, we have decided to explore ‘Saudi Arabia’ as our country of the month throughout June. If any parents have any resources which might support the children’s learning, we would be most grateful to borrow these. Did you know? Ninety-five percent of the country is classified as a desert or semi-desert. Another fact is Harry Potter books are banned in Saudi Arabia because they talk about sorcery.

Greece Celebrations The children celebrated our country of the month, Greece, by learning the Greek flag through messy play and paint, making Greek food such as carrot and parsley bread balls and sampling Greek food such as Lamb Koftas, Moussaka, olives and feta! The children learned about Greek architecture and learned how to say hello in Greek… Yasou!
