As well as contributing to the recent Christmas Fayre, the children in Nursery were very lucky to receive some new toys from the Hecklegirth Fundraisers stall. Thank you to those families who donated these toys to the school. As you can see, the children were very excited to explore them last Friday and they will certainly be well used.

We would like to remind you that Family Learning Christmas activities will take place this week on Tuesday 12th December and Thursday 14th December. Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, has been planning some fun activities for you to enjoy with your children so we hope that lots of families can join in. Younger children are welcome too.
We are delighted to hear that a grand sum of over £1700 was raised at last week’s Christmas Fayre. It was lovely to see lots of Nursery children and their families on the night and we would like to thank everyone who contributed to this great total, whether by donating to our hampers, buying squares or attending the Fayre. The Hecklegirth Fundraisers group has already kindly given us a donation towards our Christmas party so our thanks go to everyone involved.
Natan, one of our older pupils in school, has been looking at our photos of the children making chocolate shapes for the Christmas Fayre:
“Really Cool Photo I am in p5/6”
Thank you Natan for taking the time to look at our blog and leaving a comment – it’s good to know that older pupils are interested in Nursery. We really appreciate your interest.
As well as our egg box decorations, some of the children used a range of craft materials to design their own stars for our Christmas trees. They have shown creativity and originality in their designs and we think that they add something special to our trees which looked wonderful on display at the Christmas Fayre.
Enid’s Mum was one of the parents who joined in with our reading day:
“I really enjoyed the opportunity to come in and read with the children, it makes me so happy to be able to do these things with Enid especially when I see how happy it makes her.”
We really appreciated all those parents joining us as we try to find different ways to encourage literacy for our children. We hope to offer this opportunity again next term if there is interest from our families. Thank you to all those who took part this term.
Well done to our recent award winners. We hope that you and your families will be very pleased with your certificates.
This sounds like lots of fun. We hope to see you all there.
