Good morning everyone ,
Just to let you know that I am having some problems with my email just now . Several people have not received emails that I have sent - some are getting through but not all , although my system tells me they have been sent . So please dont think Im ignoring you - I am replying to mail , its just not getting to you ! I have asked our IT guy to come and sort it for me , but in the meantime you may prefer to call the nursery . 733980 . Im really sorry about this and thank you for your patience!

Clothing appeal
Good afternoon everyone ,
and a happy Friday to you all!
We have depleted our stock of spare clothing at the nursery so could you please check if you have any nursery items at home and return them . We'd also be very grateful for any old clothing you may have - we are particularly looking for 6months-2yrs and 3-5yrs . All donations will be much appreciated . Please also ensure that your child has a complete change of clothes with them each day , including suitable outdoor wear . Thank you .
Hope you all have a lovely weekend :-)

Hello again ,
just to let you know that the official graduation photos have arrived . This year we also had an entire class photo taken(that's all the sunflowers). Sunflower parents will find these in their child's file . These are on sale or return so there's no obligation to buy them- full instructions on how to pay are included inside the packs. If you don't wish to buy them , please just return to us ..... but when you see them Im sure you'll want to keep them!

Hello everyone ,
a huge thank you to all of you who came along to the sunflowers sports and graduation yesterday . It was wonderful to see so many of you there and I hope you enjoyed the event as much as we did. In particular , thanks to all the parents who were brave enough to join in the races- definitely one of the highlights :-) And how lucky were we with the weather????
If you didnt remember to bring your camera along , Becky was our official photographer and took lots - we'll soon have these on CD - if you'd like a copy please let us know. We'd appreciate a small donation to the staff development fund for this - £1.00 would be great .
As I said at the graduation , its an emotional time for us as well as you when a family leaves us . Those of you who are going, please don't loose touch . Stay registered on the blog and come along to any future events- we'd be delighted to see you and you'll always be welcomed. All of us at Craigton wish you and your children a successful and happy future - we shall miss you .
Those children leaving to go to school or other settings may well be in need of gym bags/craft smocks....and we can help you there! One of our mums , Winnie Chapman is very industrious and has been making 100% cotton drawstring bags and matching smocks . If you're interested(and who wouldn't be?) , please email her at wrchapman1@yahoo.co.uk

Sports Day
Happy Monday everyone ,
Don't forget that the sunflowers Sports Day and P1 graduation is scheduled for tomorrow 3pm. It has just stopped raining and the sun has come out - the forecast is sunny intervals for tomorrow- so just keep your fingers crossed that its correct! If it is raining , or the ground is wet , we will reschedule for the same time next week(Tues 21st 3pm) - but lets hope we don't need to!
If your child does not normally attend on a Tuesday afternoon , please bring them along at 2:45pm so we can start promptly. And be warned - you are expected to participate - there are 2 parents races scheduled so bring your running shoes! And your camera and (hopefully)sunscreen.
A huge thank you to those who offered the services of their friends/families to help us with our cleaning requirements - we have someone starting this week to the great relief of our current domestic wizz! Really appreciate your help.
A plea from the schoolhouse - please fold buggies if you're leaving them here- its very difficult to get in and out of the building , and the children cannot reach their pegs if there are buggies in the entrance - Thank you .
And finally - advance notice that the nursery will be closed on Monday 11th July for the local Aberdeen holiday.

Appeal
Good afternoon to you all ,
At Craigton we have two wonderful domestic wizards , who come in each evening and make the nursery tidy and gleaming all ready for the next day , so we can mess it all up again!. Sadly , one of them is currently unwell and will be absent for several months. This means that our other industrious lady is very overworked and really needs some help. If you know of anyone who would be interested in a part-time job over the next few months please ask them to get in touch with me for more information.
And .....congratulations to two of our Craigton dads :
Barry Wink who completed the Triple Peaks Challenge last weekend . He and his colleagues managed the astonishing feat of climbing Ben Nevis , Scarfell Pike and Snowdon in 22hrs . WOW
And Roddy Hamilton recently completed the Edinburgh marathon in under 4.5 hours . WOW again.
Both did these amazing things for charity......I am always awed by anyone who will challenge themselves in this way to help other people(and I'm sure I'm not alone in that). Thank you to all of you who very kindly made donations to the causes Barry and Roddy are supporting and well done to both of you - what an inspiration!
Don't forget to let me know if you have anything you'd like posted on the blog - this is for everyone at Craigton to use and share ......and leave your comments too!

Thank you
Hello everyone ,
and happy Monday to you all! A huge thank you to all of you for your incredible support at our fundraising day on Saturday- all your kind donations for the raffle/tombola and the fabulous home bakes. The turnout was excellent ,everyone got into the spirit of the day and dug deep into their pockets. The drumming band were a huge success , a great time was had by all , and we even had some sunshine!
Also a great big thankyou to all the parent helpers and Craigton staff for all their hard work both before and on the day....as well as various , mums , children and boyfriends who all gave their time to help us out - its very much appreciated.
All those efforts combined managed to raise an impressive £947.52!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done everyone!
We will be organising an other fundraising event in the autumn - I'll let you know when we have more details .
SUNFLOWERS - don't forget its the class photo this Wednesday 8th June 9:30am . This is for all pre-school children . If your child does not normally attend on a Wednesday morning , please bring them along, stay for the shoot and take them home afterwards - we are full on a Wednesday so will not be able to offer extra sessions that day .
Staying with the sunflowers - its the Sportsday/Graduation on Tuesday 14th June 3pm . All the sunflowers participate in the sports , and we then have a short graduation ceremony for those children leaving to start P1 after the summer .This is always a popular . well attended event-remember we have limited seating , so make sure you bring a rug to sit on .....and your camera! If the weather is bad , this will be rescheduled for the following week at the same time - so keep your eye on the blog!
A reminder too that we need notice in writing of holidays and leaving dates , and please let us know if your child will not be at nursery for any other reason.
Once again , thank you all so much for supporting the fundraising day :-)
