Isaac’s family is delighted with his award:
“Isaac was so pleased to win a certificate last week. We’re very very proud of him.”
We are proud of you too Isaac. You thoroughly deserved that certificate. Well done!
Congratulations
Congratulations to the worthy winners of last week’s certificates. We are proud of you both.
New Wood Supplies
As our wood supplies were dwindling in our outdoor area, we were lucky to get a delivery as a kind donation from Mr. Kerr at the end of last term. As you can see from the photos, the children loved being little helpers to carry the wood into the garden and some decided that they wanted it painted so they took on the responsibility of doing that themselves. Of course, as soon as a new pile of wood appeared, it was not long before dens were being built and lots of super imaginative play developed as a result. Well done for more super teamwork boys and girls.
Welcome
We are delighted to welcome Miss Awde back to the Nursery team after her maternity leave. She will be in Nursery every Friday and is looking forward to getting to know lots of new children.
We would also like to thank Mrs. Shaw for her great contribution to our team while she has been covering Miss Awde’s leave for the past few months.
Activity Bags Library
We would like to remind you that tomorrow, Tuesday 22nd November, is the first day for our activity bags “library”. The bags will be given out from the Family Learning room opposite the school hall.
If your child attends morning sessions you can collect a bag at the end of the session from Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator. The bag should then be returned the following Tuesday at the start of the morning session. Please leave the returned bag on your child’s peg and Eileen will collect it from there.
If your child attends Nursery in the afternoon you can collect a bag when you bring your child at the start of the session. You should bring your bag to the Family Learning room when you collect a new one.
If you would like an activity bag but can’t collect on a Tuesday please let Eileen know and she will try to make alternative arrangements.
Children in Need
Thank you to all those who contributed to our Children in Need ‘dress as you please day’. We are delighted to say that Nursery raised £78.33 as part of a grand total of £302 raised by Hecklegirth School so thank you very much to everyone who contributed.
Well Done
Here are the award winners from last week looking proud of their certificates – super work both of you.
Children in Need
Tomorrow (Friday) is Children in Need day and Hecklegirth is raising funds by having a ‘dress as you please day’ for a small donation to this worthy cause.
Bird Feeders
As part of our outdoor development, some of the children worked hard at the end of last term to make bird feeders. We chopped fruit and used rice cakes which were carefully threaded to make feeders to hang in our canopy. As you can see, there was great concentration and good fine motor skills involved in this activity so we hope that the birds appreciate all the children’s hard work.

Entrance to Nursery
We are delighted to say that our refurbished Nursery environment has been registered by the Care Inspectorate and we can now use it. Cloakroom areas are in place and children will be able to leave their coats and bags on individual pegs.
To ease congestion at the start and end of sessions, we will use two entrances starting from tomorrow, Thursday 17th November. Those children in the red and blue groups should continue to enter and leave via the door which we have been using since the start of the year. Those in the yellow and green groups should enter and leave via the door to the left of our previous entrance.
We would like to thank you for your patience while we have been undergoing these changes to our Nursery and hope that the refurbished environment will greatly enhance your child’s Nursery experience.
