Family Learning Fun

Family Learning is a very important aspect of life at Hecklegirth Nursery and we are delighted that Eileen Johnstone, Family Learning Co-ordinator, continues to provide fun activities which support learning. Each week Eileen organises story, rhyme and number sacks for children to share with their families at home. We also have  some dual language books to share with those who have English as an additional language so everyone interested in activity sacks can take part. If you missed out on this opportunity, Eileen will be happy to add you to her list – simply look for her at the cloakroom entrance at the start or end of Thursday Nursery sessions.

Aware of our emphasis on the importance of rhyme, Eileen organised craft sessions this week where the children joined members of their families for fun activities based on nursery rhymes. Mums, dads and grannies all seemed to enjoy themselves and the children were certainly proud of the nursery rhyme bags they made.

Eileen hopes to run a Christmas craft session next month so look out for dates and times on our Family Learning notice board. Remember that younger brothers and sisters are welcome to come along too. This week’s feedback has been very positive so we look forward to lots of families taking part.

We feel so lucky to have Eileen as part of our Nursery team and would like to thank her for her invaluable input. Thanks also to everyone who took part this week – it’s wonderful to see so many families joining in activities in our Nursery.
