We hope that our families are all enjoying their summer holidays spending time together. To help you plan your next holiday, we have put the dates for the new school year in our “Dates for Your Diary” link on the right under “Support Information”.
This link will be updated with more detail as the year progresses, once we have other dates in place, so all the information you need for your calendar will be there. We hope that this is helpful for you and that you enjoy the rest of the holidays.
Role Play
Role play develops children’s social skills, creativity and imagination. It provides opportunities to play out events that they have observed or experienced in real life and to express their feelings and ideas in a relaxed environment. They can apply and practise life skills as well as develop their literacy and numeracy skills in so many contexts in the role play area. Here is a little gallery of the various roles the children have taken on in our role play area – don’t they look the part so busy in their play?
Sunny Seats
Teamwork, creativity, imagination … there are so many exciting areas of learning that develop outdoors but sometimes on a sunny day it’s just good to have a rest and take it all in. These photos were taken on a lovely warm afternoon towards the end of term and show different ways the children took a little time out from their busy play to relax in the sun. Play is hard work and it’s good to have a seat and a rest at times.

Thank You
We are sad to say that our last day of term was also the last day on placement for Mrs. Jen Carruthers who has been a super student with us all year. We know that the boys and girls will miss Mrs. Carruthers just as much as the staff will and we would like to thank her for all her hard work in our Nursery.
For those coming back to Nursery next year, Mrs. Carruthers has very kindly bought us a lovely outdoor table with a sand tray incorporated (she has even provided the sand) so we look forward to using that next year and would like to thank her for her generosity.
We hope that you all have a lovely summer holiday with your families and that the sun shines for you. We still have a few photos to share and I will put them on the blog over the next week or two so keep your eyes peeled for those.
Special Visitors
Hecklegirth had some exciting visitors on Monday when the Riding of the Marches principals arrived to see everyone. Here are a few of the children waiting with the rest of the school to see the principals who brought their horses with them this year. We hope that the weather stays fine and that you all have a lovely family day out if participating tomorrow.
Achievement Awards
Congratulations to our achievement award winners who were presented with their trophies at our recent graduation. Staff found it very difficult to make a final choice of who should be the morning and afternoon winners, as there were lots of potential candidates for this award, but we feel that these pupils are worthy recipients of this annual trophy. Very well done to you both and keep up the good work in Primary 1.
Congratulations
Afternoon Graduation
As promised, here is a selection of photos of the afternoon children at their graduation ceremony yesterday. Just like the morning children, they made us feel very proud of them all. Photos of our award winners will follow soon. We hope that you enjoyed our end of year celebration and would like to thank all our families who have provided such wonderful support.
