Patrick’s family has been looking at the photos of the children dressed up for Hallowe’en:
“Wow what amazing scary outfits! Patrick loved being a bat 🦇.
Aww Patrick are you having snack?!!! Well done!”
The children did look super and they all seemed to enjoy having a special snack that day.
Witches, ghosts, bats and a few superheroes arrived in Nursery on Tuesday for Hallowe’en. Thank you to all those who helped their children play the part – here are some photos we managed to capture of some of those super outfits in the afternoon. We will post photos of the morning children soon.
One of our carved pumpkins provided great motivation for some of the children at the drawing table this week as they attempted observational drawing so we would like to share some of their work.

We would like to remind you that the Hecklegirth Fundraisers are holding a “Spooky or Sparkle disco” tomorrow, 2nd November, in school. Nursery to Primary 2 children can come between 6.00 and 7.00. Entry is £1 and children must be accompanied by an adult. We hope that lots of you will be able to attend to enjoy the fun activities as well as the disco.
As tomorrow is Hallowe’en, children can come to Nursery in fancy dress if they wish. Some of the children were having fun trying out our outfits at the end of last term.
Joshua’s family has been looking at the photos of the children bringing in signs of Autumn that they have found with their families:
“Joshua loved gathering the leaves & conkers to show signs of Autumn ☺”
It was great to see so many children taking part in this activity. We are glad that Joshua enjoyed it.
We hope that you have had a lovely holiday with your families and look forward to seeing you all tomorrow, Monday 30th October, for the start of the new term. Morning children have a soft start, as usual, between 8.45 and 9.10 and afternoon children start at 12.15.
Brooke’s family has been looking at the photos of the children’s ‘sticky mud game’:
“Brooke loves exploring in mud and getting messy so I can imagine how much fun this would of been for her, looks like a great game they have all created together. Well done everyone.”
It was a super game which kept them engaged for such a long time. Great teamwork!
We love it when the children play co-operatively to plan and carry out their own ideas. These photos show a group of children playing a game of their own creation which they called “The Sticky Mud Game”. They used the resources that they found outdoors and made their own rules, telling me, “You have to get the mud and move it into the puddle. It’s a bit hard but it’s easy if you keep doing it”.
As the children moved mud into the puddle, they then realised that the puddle was filling up so they said, “We need to make the puddle bigger so there’s room for the mud”. Cups and bowls were then used to transport water from another part of the garden to make the puddle bigger.
What super teamwork and creativity they have shown to invent their own game, agree on the rules together and work out how to solve problems they came up against. We love the Sticky Mud Game.
