Well Done, Summer’s Daddy
We hope that the children have enjoyed seeing the photos of their special visitors from Summer’s Daddy’s farm. Imogen’s family were kind enough to leave a lovely comment:
“Imogen loved seeing the animals and was very, very excited. She told us about it in great detail! Well done to Summers dad.”
It certainly was a day to remember.

Summer’s Daddy’s Special Visitors
As we are now beginning to learn about our community and the jobs we might do when we grow up, Summer’s Daddy kindly spent a morning last week with the children in both the Rainbow and the Sunshine Rooms, teaching them about his work on a farm.
However, he didn’t come alone but brought a calf and two lambs which were all less than a week old, as well as the Mummy sheep, which were the best teaching resources possible. The children learned so much about what the animals eat, where they stay and how they are looked after. They learned about animal cake, which they were disappointed to find did not have cherries or chocolate, and smelt silage as well as getting plenty opportunities to stroke the animals.
The children also found out lots about the farm from all the fantastic photos Summer’s Daddy brought and left in Nursery for us. These will be very useful to help us to talk about working on a farm, especially with the helpful captions on the back explaining everything.
We want to say a huge thank-you to Summer’s Daddy for taking time to help us in this way. You provided a wonderful experience for the children which they will remember for a long time.
Bethany’s Dragon Travels to Ireland
Bethany’s family seemed to like her Chinese dragon and commented on her photo:
“Bethany made another Dragon for her Grandparents in Ireland. Her Aunty Sarah was so impressed she used it to inspire her Primary School students in her Afterschool Art Club. So those Dragons certainly have travelled far and near.
A big thankyou to all involved, you’re doing a great job!”
It’s great to hear that Bethany is acting as a Hecklegirth Dragon Ambassador. I wonder if Aunty Sarah’s children’s dragons were as good as yours? Keep up the good work Bethany!
Who Do You Love?
With Valentine’s Day on the calendar recently, we have been talking about who we love and how we show that we love someone. As a home activity, the children drew someone they love and told us why they love them. As you can see from the comments below, we had some lovely ideas. All the children’s work is displayed in the corridor. Please take the time to have a look at them all as they will put a smile on your faces.
Jacquie: I love Mummy, Daddy, Arran, Carly and Granny. I love Daddy, Mummy and Granny because they give me cuddles. Arran plays crocodiles. Carly plays with me.
Shay: I love Grandad because he teaches me lots of good things, takes me on a train to special places and is very good to me.
Evie: I love flowers because they have lovely petals. I love Mummy and Leah and Ericka.
Tyler: I love Daddy, Mummy, Cody and Diesel and Nathan. Mummy plays games. Daddy takes me to the park. Cody and Diesel play on the field. Nathan is my cousin and best friend.
Lewis: I love Granny because she likes One Direction and she likes to dance.
Kyle: I love my big brothers Lewis and Jack because they play football outside with me.
Malachi: I love my Mummy and Daddy and Millie because they are my family and they are the best.

Chef Nathan
Nathan’s Mum liked the photo of him as a chef making our Chinese food:
“Go chef Nathan! Those noodles look yummy!”
He does look the part and he must have made a good job of preparing the Chinese food because lots of children enjoyed it. Before you know it he’ll be making the meals at home.
Bring and Buy Sale
Recently Nursery morning children were invited to a “Bring and Buy Sale” by P5/4. As you can see, it was a busy and exciting event where there was lots for the children to spend their money on. Some chose toys and books, others preferred the cake stall but most found something they wanted to buy.
It was tricky managing to work out which coins we needed but P5/4 were very patient and helpful with all our children. Thank you to everyone in P5/4 for inviting us to your very well organised event, for your lovely manners and for your kindness and patience with the Nursery children. We would also like to congratulate you on raising over £230 for Guide Dogs for the Blind – you should be very proud of yourselves.

We have also heard that Miss Kerr is feeling better and will be back to see you all so no doubt everyone will be excited about that.
Snow Photos
Kyle and Madison’s Mums liked our photos in the snow.
Kyle’s Mum: “what a great photo x”
Madison’s Mum: “madison had lots of fun going down the slide, she was doing it at home too x”
Kyle and Madison both look so happy. It’s just as well we managed to capture a few photos because the snow had disappeared by the next morning.
