Thank you to those who have returned our evaluation questionnaires as well as the children’s flower sheets. We greatly value your input and will collate your responses to guide the development of our Nursery.
We ask that those who have not yet done so, please return these sheets as soon as possible since we add the flower sheets to each child’s special book before they are sent to Primary 1 which for some is in a different school so takes time to arrange. Thank you for your support.

Farmer’s Den
We would like to say a huge thank you to the Hecklegirth Fundraisers for paying for all the children to have a session at Farmer’s Den to celebrate our year in Nursery. Not only did the children run, jump and climb with boundless energy but they took some time out to draw or play with the bricks when they needed a little rest. Even Stan the Star made an appearance to join in the fun of what was a busy and very happy day.
Thank you to all those who have contributed to the fundraising activities this year as you helped the Nursery children have a super session at Farmer’s Den. These photos show the morning children having fun. Photos of the afternoon session will be posted soon.
Well Done Alfie
Alfie’s family likes the photos of him growing cress and then using it for his snack:
“Lovely photo. Well done alfie 😀 “
He’s doing well using those scissors there to cut his cress. We love these photos too. I wonder if the children will eat cress at home?
Grow Your Own Snack
As part of their learning about growing, the children in the Sunshine Room planted cress recently and were very excited to watch it grow. It was even better when they were able to use their cress as part of their snack preparation. Nothing tastes better than something you have grown yourself.
Chasing Bubbles
We thought that we would share some happy photos of the children chasing bubbles. They loved it when the bubble machine was set up and had such a fun happy afternoon in the sun.
Farmer’s Den
We would like to remind you that we will be at Farmer’s Den tomorrow, Monday 18th June, for our Nursery sessions.
Please meet us at Farmer’s Den at the usual times between 8.45 and 9.10. We ask that morning parents/carers collect the children at 11.45. Afternoon children should arrive at 12.15 and can be collected between 3.00 and 3.15. Snack will be provided thanks to the generosity of Hecklegirth Friends who have also paid for each child’s session. We look forward to seeing you there.
Word Of The Week
Our “Word of the Week” for this week is graduation as we prepare the children for our end of year celebration.
Den Building
Making dens develops teamwork, communication and problem solving skills as well as being lots of fun, with the children able to test out their planning and learn from their mistakes when they use their den.
As we reach the end of the year, it is evident that our children have learned so much from developing these skills both indoors and outdoors. Here is an example of their work which was totally led and organised by the children with no adult intervention. They were so proud of their efforts and spent such a long time playing in their den, changing and developing it as different children joined in the play.
Creativity And Imagination
Creativity and imagination are central to the play of our children and we just loved the way this little group created their own picnic table from resources they found outdoors. They worked well as a team, talked about what they needed and then produced some wonderful, imaginative role play for such a long time, making drinks and a variety of different foods as part of their play.
Award Winner
Congratulations to our most recent award winner. We are all very proud of you.
