We would like to remind you that, to raise funds for Children In Need, Hecklegirth Primary and Nursery are holding a non-uniform day on Friday 16th November. You can donate £1 to come dressed in something spotty or yellow or even just to wear your own clothes. We hope to raise a valuable contribution to this important charity.

Paper Tearing
Robin’s Mummy has been looking at our photos of art based on tearing paper:
“Love this. Robin has been showing me and his daddy at home how to correctly tear paper!”
Well done Robin! It’s good to hear that you are passing on your skills. I wonder if your Mummy and Daddy will be able to make pictures as good as yours?
Special Books
We would like to remind everyone to please return the children’s “special books” today, Wednesday 14th November. We hope that you have enjoyed sharing them with wider family. Thank you.
Art Gallery
The art area is a place for the children to experiment with a range of materials and express their ideas when they create their works of art. Tearing paper has benefits in helping to develop the children’s muscles and fine motor control but, above all, it allows everyone the opportunity for success and to experiment with colour, shape and size to create their unique piece of art. We hope that you all enjoy this wonderful gallery of their individual pieces of artwork.

War Memorial
Just like many other groups of children and adults over the past week, we talked about why we have Poppy Day and the children have begun to understand what it is about. As part of our learning some of the children took a walk to the war memorial at the end of last week to see for themselves what their local community has to remember those who died.
Well Done
Congratulations to the winners of last week’s awards. We hope that you are as proud of your achievements as we are. Keep up the good work.
Pumpkin Picnic
Once we had enjoyed our Hallowe’en celebrations, we had to decide what to do with our pumpkins. The children helped to prepare them for outdoors as we thought that the birds and insects might like to have a little feast on them. It was quite hard work but an enthusiastic little group were great helpers preparing the pumpkins and placing them in various positions in the outdoor area. We hope that the visitors to our garden enjoyed their picnic.

Afternoon Sparkles
As promised, here are some of the children in the afternoon enjoying trying out some sparklers at the start of the week.
Sparkling Learning
Sparklers are a great way to learn about staying safe on Bonfire Night and the children listened well to all our instructions when we enjoyed them in the Nursery garden on Monday. We talked about how to behave, who is allowed to light fireworks and all learned about putting the sparkler in water once it was finished.
Some were more cautious than others but everyone was happy to hold a sparkler so well done boys and girls for being confident to try out something that was new to many. Here is a gallery of some of the morning children busy with their sparklers. We will post some of the afternoon children soon.
