Busy Times

Joshua and Nancy’s family has been enjoying the photos of the Big Pedal Fun Day and the seed planting and have left us some lovely comments.

“Joshua & Nancy look like they are raring to go. They loved being in the playground on the bikes 😁.”

“Wow Nancy looks like she was concentrating very hard when planting her sunflower seeds. Clever girl, well done 😊.”

“Well done Joshua on concentrating very well planting your sunflower seeds. Your getting very good at planting & flowers 😊.”

It has certainly been a busy time in Nursery lately but the children never seem to be short of enthusiasm for all our activities.

Exciting Parcel

An exciting little parcel arrived in Nursery last week which caused everyone to stop and look carefully. It was our own little tub of caterpillars to help our learning about life cycles. The children are keeping a close eye on them and already they have begun to grow. Why not ask the children to show you them in Nursery and see if they can tell you what is going to happen next to our caterpillars?

Summer Is Here

As the weather seems to be getting a little warmer, we ask that you please remember to send your child to Nursery wearing sun cream. We also suggest that they wear older clothes, if they tend to be children who enjoy the fun and mud of the great outdoors, as it can be too warm to wear the outdoor suits that they wear for most of the year. Clothes can get a little worse for wear once some children get into action in the mud kitchen so it would be helpful if they came dressed ready for outdoor play.

Visits To Primary 1

The children who will soon be making the transition to Primary 1 at Hecklegirth have had two recent visits to the P1 classroom to get a taste of school life. As you can see, they settled in well and were confident to try out a range of activities. Thank you to Miss Campbell for making the Nursery children feel so welcome. They are looking forward to their next visit.

Biking To School

Emilia’s family has been looking at the photos of Big Pedal Fun Day:

“Emilia really enjoyed the bike session and loves taking her bike to school.”

We are glad that you enjoyed the different activities Emilia. You have certainly been keeping up with the idea of cycling to school and always arrive with a lovely smile on your face. Keep up the good work.

Sunflower Art

Having been inspired by discussions about Vincent Van Gogh’s work, the children have had the opportunity to create their own sunflower artwork which has formed a beautiful, bright display in the school corridor. You can see our display if you click then click again on the photo of it below and click on individual photos to see the name of the artist.

Growing Plants

Jasmin’s family has been looking at the photos of the children planting their sunflower seeds:

“Jasmin was thrilled to have planted her own flower and is continuing to look after it and watch it grow at home.”

Fingers crossed that it keeps growing Jasmin and then you will be able to plant it in your garden

Family Learning

Our PEEP sessions with Eileen, the Family Learning Co-ordinator, started again last week and, when I popped in, this little group was enjoying a story and various activities linked to seeds which supported the learning they had been doing in Nursery. They will now have cress as well as a sunflower to look after so they are going to be busy little gardeners.
The first morning session is planned for Tuesday of this week and Eileen will have an afternoon session again on Thursday. We hope that those taking part have lots of fun.
