Annan Lights Santa Dash

The annual Santa Dash will take place on Sunday 6th December at 1.30pm at the Everholm running track. Any local organisation is invited to take part to raise funds for their own cause. All we need to do is register, raise sponsorship and get as many kids and families to take part from Hecklegirth School. You can walk it, jog it, run it or cycle- distances to suit all abilities so everyone is welcome. Whatever we raise we keep so let’s get together and make a difference!

If any Nursery parents would like to take part please see Mrs Alexander, Mrs Hamilton or any of the Nursery staff who can get you a sponsor sheet. Money raised will be used towards our new Mastery of Maths resources for the primary and numeracy and outdoor learning games for Nursery to help raise attainment for all!

Children In Need Photos

Kacey’s Mum liked our photos from the Children in Need non-uniform day:

“Wow everyone looks great. Lovely picture girls!”

It was lovely to see the children in all their different outfits and great to be able to make a contribution to a good cause.

Children In Need Thanks

Thank you to all those who contributed to our Children in Need non-uniform day on Friday. It was great to see such a variety of outfits and the children seemed excited to be dressed differently. We are delighted to say that Nursery raised £45 as part of a grand total of £251 raised by Hecklegirth School so thank you very much to everyone who contributed.

Award Winners

Here are last week’s fantastic award winners with their certificates. Well done all of you.

Fun Story Telling

Owen’s Dad went to the Annan library with us on our first visit and left a comment to say how much he enjoyed it.

“Lovely morning spent with the kids at the library, the kids were very well mannered and well behaved. Owen really enjoyed the stories, Marion told them really well, she made it fun!”

We agree that Marion is a great storyteller. Thank you very much for coming with us. We hope that you’ll be free another Monday to join us. Well done boys and girls for being so polite and well behaved – we were very proud of you.

Children in Need

Tomorrow (Friday) is Children in Need day and Hecklegirth is raising funds by having a non-uniform day. If you would like to take part, a donation of £1 would be gratefully received. Thank you.

Ben’s Library Visit

Ben’s family has been looking at the photos of our recent library visit:

“Ben really enjoyed visiting the library with his nursery friends and teachers. In the holidays he likes to stay at his Grandma’s house in Waterbeck because the library van stops right outside her house and he gets to go in the van and choose some books.”

That sounds really exciting Ben! What a lovely treat when you’re at Grandma’s house to have the library come to you.

“We Love You Hugless Douglas”

Thom and his Mum left a comment on our visit to Annan library:

“We enjoyed our Library visit, our books were due back that week and Thom was extremely pleased to find the book Marion read to us, ‘we love you hugless Douglas’ and guess what? It’s at our house now, we’ve read it a few times to Daddy and Sophie!”

It was a great book and everyone listened well to that one. I hope that Daddy and Sophie enjoyed it too Thom. It was lucky that it was still there when you went back. Thank you to your Mum for coming along to the library. It’s great to have parents with us.

Library Fun

Two of our parents have been looking at the post about our visit to the library.

“Thank u for giving the children this great opportunity for good link with the library. Dylan loves books and always loves going to the library and he thinks it’s great that he is getting to go with nursery too. After his first visit with nursery he asked to go and get the monster truck book he had a look at when he went with nursery “

I hope the monster truck book was there when you went back to the library Dylan? You are lucky going there with your family and Nursery.

“Kacey really enjoyed her library visit ,the only complaint she had was the chairs are to low for the table and she couldn’t see her book! Good job Owens daddy was there to read it to her..x”

Next time we go to the library we’ll have to find you a better seat Kacey but it was kind of Owen’s Dad to help you out.
