Kobe’s family is delighted with his recent certificate:
“Kobe was really happy with award! Mummy and Daddy are very proud!”
Well done Kobe! We are all proud of you.
Super Shoppers
Some photos from a while back of a group of children on a shopping expedition show them off to the town to buy brushes and varnish to prepare the tree trunk seating in the garden. As you can see, they showed independence skills as they found what they needed in the shop and paid for them. Thank you for being so helpful boys and girls – you were super shoppers.
Congratulations

Thank You
Our chocolate Christmas shapes were very popular at the Christmas Fayre last night and were sold in no time so well done to all those children who helped to make them. It was lovely to see lots of Nursery children and their families visiting the Fayre and we would like to thank everyone who contributed to the grand total of ÂŁ2095.24 raised by this event, whether by donating to our hampers, buying squares or attending the Fayre.
The Hecklegirth Fundraisers group has already kindly donated money towards our Christmas party so our sincere thanks go to everyone involved.
Chocolate Shapes
Olivia’s family has been looking at the photos of the children making the Christmas chocolate shapes:
“Olivia had a fantastic time creating these chocolate shapes! She has been telling us all about what happens to chocolate when you heat it! Just ashame she is unwell and wasn’t able to go to the Xmas fayre! I’m sure it was a huge success!”
Well done Olivia for remembering what you learned. We hope that you feel better soon.
Christmas Helper
Harvey’s family enjoyed the photo of him helping to decorate the Nursery Christmas tree:
“Nice to see Harvey helping with the Christmas tree! We already have ours up at home which he loves! 🙂 ”
You certainly made a good job of our tree Harvey so I’m sure your tree at home will be lovely too.
Christmas Fayre
With the school Christmas Fayre tomorrow (Wednesday), we have been making chocolate Christmas shapes to sell on our stall. Discussions about what would happen when we put chocolate in the microwave then the fridge developed the children’s learning about science and we also used numeracy skills to count the squares of chocolate as we prepared our chocolate shapes.
We hope that lots of Nursery children and their families will be able to come to the Christmas Fayre tomorrow from 6.30 until 8.00 in school. We can certainly recommend the chocolate shapes to anyone who has a little money to spend – at 50p a bag we think that they are a tasty buy.

Deferred Year
The parents of those children who have birthdays between September and February, and are due to start school in August 2017 have already had a letter explaining the options re a deferred year in Nursery.
An information leaflet and application forms are available in Nursery for those who wish to apply for an additional year. Please ask staff for copies if you are interested in this option. The final application date is January 16th when applications must be in Dumfries.
We hope that you take the opportunity to speak to staff if you are unsure about your child’s readiness to move to Primary 1 next year and we can discuss our views.
