We hope that everyone has enjoyed their holidays with their families. You will no doubt have lots of tales to tell us when you return.
Nursery starts back tomorrow (Tuesday). Starting times are as normal – a soft start between 8.45 and 9.10 for the morning children and 12.15 in the afternoon. Details of upcoming events this term can be found on the “Dates for your Diary” link on the right under “Support Information”. As always, this will be updated as soon as any further dates are finalised.
We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
Easter Art
As the children started to think about Easter at the end of last term, some experimented in the craft area to design their own eggs and create Spring flowers. We thought we would share a few examples with you this Easter weekend. Click then click again on the photos to see the names of the artists.
Lowry Art
Towards the end of term we were learning a little about the artist, L. S. Lowry. We compared the scenes in his paintings to Annan and talked about his life. Charcoal and chalk were used to produce our own art work in the style of Lowry and we have put some on display in the school corridor. Can anyone spot their picture here?

Dream Jobs
As part of our learning about our community and the different jobs people do locally, we talked to the children about what jobs they might like to do in the future and we thought that you would like to hear some of their plans.
Summer: a mermaid.
Edward: a swimming teacher.
Max: a pirate.
Quinn: to have my own car and work on the computer.
George: a zookeeper.
Tom: a policeman.
Danielle: a pizza lady.
Finlay: a teacher.
Eli: an engineer that fixes things.
Owen: an astronaut.
Leah M: clean the dishes and cook.
Callum: a police officer.
Chloe: a fairy.
Theo: a king.
Brogan: a policeman. I can stop the bad guys.
Neve: a hairdresser. I like doing hair. I can curl it.
Peter: a tractor and digger driver. I can make lots of money digging holes.
Harvey M: I want to be a footballer and play for Rangers.
Enid: I want to be a fairy and do magic.
Meris: I want to be a hairdresser and cut your hair.
Noah: I want to be a football man. You have to be good at kicking.
Vinnie: a policeman. They drive fast cars.
Kyle: I want to do digging in the mud.
I wonder if any of their dreams will come true?
Our Community
Learning about our community last term inspired the children to make models of some of the buildings we had talked about in Annan. After looking at photos of various familiar landmarks, they set to work in the art and craft area to make their own versions so we had our own little town comprising the police station, Greencroft Medical Centre and several other well known buildings which the children then used as part of their play. If you click on the photos to make them bigger you will see the great detail that the children put in their work.
Big Pedal Fun Day Take Two
Just like the morning children, those in the afternoon participated enthusiastically in all the super activities organised for Big Pedal Fun Day. Here is a selection of photos of the children in action on their bikes and scooters.

Great Photos
Ava’s family has been looking at the photos of the children enjoying Big Pedal Fun Day:
“Ava really enjoyed the big pedal fun day. She was telling all the family all about it. Great photos of all the children.”
It’s lovely to hear that Ava enjoyed herself. I hope that you can get out on your scooter in the holidays Ava.
Big Pedal Fun Day
The last day of term was Big Pedal Fun Day for everyone at Hecklegirth as the children brought bikes and scooters to participate in great fun activities in the school playground under the guidance of some super volunteers. Despite the very windy weather, the children showed great confidence and enthusiasm to try out the challenges set for them. Thank you to everyone who helped to organise this event and gave up their own time. The children had super fun and what a great way to keep fit and healthy. Let’s hope that they can have lots of fun in the holidays on their bikes and scooters.
Here are the morning children in action. Photos of the afternoon children will follow in the next day or two.
