2017-18 – Hecklegirth Nursery

Happy Holidays

We hope that you have enjoyed the first sunny day of your holidays and that you all have a lovely summer with your families. Please keep your eyes peeled here as we still have photos to share from the end of our year, including the graduation photos from our afternoon ceremony. We will continue to post over the next week or two.

Graduation Celebration

We were all so proud of the children at our graduation ceremony on Wednesday as they sang and danced to celebrate their year in Nursery. They showed great confidence to perform to their families and then to walk on stage on their own to shake hands and receive their certificates.
Thank you to Mr. Palmer for taking time to present the children with their awards and for being so patient to pose with each child so that a precious family photo could be taken. Thank you also to all the family and friends who attended our little ceremony and for your support throughout the year.
Here is a gallery of some of the morning children. I will put photos of the afternoon children on as soon as possible.

Congratulations

Congratulations to our most recent award winner. You thoroughly deserved your certificate.

Graduation Reminder

We are looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow (Wednesday) in the school hall for our little graduation to celebrate the end of our year. Please bring your child to Nursery at normal times and use the front door of the school when you return to the hall for our celebration at 10.45 or 1.30. We ask that you please park in the John Bell car park and not the staff car park. We hope that the boys and girls bring their good singing voices and we look forward to seeing you all. Here is a little selection of the children practising their songs today.

School Lunch

Last week Hecklegirth families joined their children to sample a school lunch in preparation for the move to Primary 1 in August. Macaroni cheese or delicious rolls were on offer and tasty looking ice cream and yoghurts for dessert seemed to go down well with most children. Hopefully everyone is now looking forward to their school lunches when they come to Primary 1 in August.

Safe In The Sun

As we have enjoyed the summer sunshine so much over the last few weeks, we read a book in Nursery called “Staying Safe in the Sun” and discussed what we know about looking after ourselves in the hot weather. Here is a selection of their ideas.

Cali: you wear a hat to keep safe. You have to drink lots of water.
Fraser: wear white clothes to keep cooler.
Imoen: I put suncream on to protect me from getting sunburned.
Kyle: go in the shade.
Matthew: you need to put suncream on your arms.
Archie: you can wear sunglasses.
Olivia: you need suncream.
Remy: put suncream on so your body doesn’t get burnt.
Mason: a big hat keeps your head cool.
Annalise: your skin goes red if it gets burned in the sun.
Louie: you put on sunglasses to keep your eyes safe.
Enid: put a sunhat on to keep your head safe.
Evan: put some more suncream on when you come out of the swimming pool.
Kai: you get burnt if you don’t put suncream on.
