Word Of The Week
Our “Word of the Week” this week will be choir as we continue to practise our Christmas songs.
Christmas Cards
The festive season is well under way in our art area and the children have been very busy creating their own Christmas cards for their families. Just look at the concentration on those little faces!
Caring For Our Environment
Come wind, rain or shine we have to care for our garden and these helpful little gardeners did a great job recently weeding our plant box. They showed good listening skills to carry out instructions and, as well as pulling all the weeds out, they tidied everything into the bin afterwards, leaving us with a weed free and tidy box. What super “responsible citizens” and “effective contributors” they are which are two of the aspirations we have for all children in Scotland
Celebration
As part of our celebration of Hecklegirth’s Gold Sports Award, some of our children enjoyed taking part in a 10 Station Fitness Challenge in the playground on Monday with Primary 1. As you can see, a wide range of activities were on offer and everyone had fun having a go at lots of different experiences. Thanks go to all those who helped the children to have a great afternoon.
Thank You
Thank you so much to those who have kindly donated to our local charity, Kate’s Kitchen. Bars of soap, hot water bottles, gloves, hats and socks would all be gratefully received to distribute in our local community. Final date to donate to this worthy cause is 14th December. Thank you very much for your kind generosity if you have already given donations.
Christmas Decorating
Evelyn’s family enjoyed the photos of the children decorating our Christmas tree:
“Aww. Evelyn loves decorating for Christmas. Done a lovely job at  home. xx “
It’s great to hear that you are helping out at home Evelyn.
Christmas Is Here
Christmas arrived on Friday afternoon in Nursery when the Christmas tree appeared and the children worked together to decorate it. Well done boys and girls – we think that you did a super job.
Christmas Post Box
The Christmas post box is in place in Nursery near the tree. If your child wants to give out Christmas cards to friends, they can post them here and we will make sure that they are distributed in their trays.
Ten Station Fitness Challenge
To celebrate Hecklegirth’s achievement, the school will be presented with a Gold Sports Award by a representative of Sport Scotland tomorrow, Monday 3rd December. The whole school will then be having an afternoon of fun sports activities to celebrate our achievement.
As part of this, afternoon Nursery children will take part in a Ten Station Fitness Challenge in the playground with Primary 1. We would ask that children come with warm clothes and coats as we will all be going outdoors to take part. Let’s hope that the rain stays away to help us have a fun time with Primary 1.
