You know Christmas has truly arrived in Nursery when the Christmas tree appears and the children were certainly excited in the Rainbow Room when the Christmas boxes were brought out for them to investigate. As you can see, we had lots of enthusiastic helpers who made a great job of decorating their tree. What a lot of happy smiles at the end of their busy morning as the children settled down in front of the tree to sing their Christmas songs.

Happy smiles from last week’s award winners. Well done both of you and keep up the good work.
Due to flooding in the boiler room school is closed to pupils in primary and nursery all day as no heating or hot water available. We will reopen on Monday as usual. Apologies for any inconvenience.
The corridors of Hecklegirth are looking very festive now and we have put up a display of some of the children’s recent art work in school. As you can see, there are many ways to make snowmen and winter trees so well done to the children for producing individual pieces of work. You can have a close look next week if you plan to come to the Christmas Fayre – look for the board opposite Mrs. Alexander’s office. Until then, here is a taster of some of the children’s art.

This Thursday, December 3rd, we are having an Open Day for the whole school from 9.00 to 6.00 and we would encourage you to take this opportunity to have a chat to staff and a look in your child’s special book if you have not already done so. As we have indicated previously, your contributions are very valuable as these books are a shared document between the child, parents and Nursery staff.
Why not also take this opportunity to have a look around the school beyond the Nursery rooms, particularly if you are considering a move to Primary 1 with us next year? We hope that this is a helpful event, particularly for working parents who may find it difficult to visit Nursery and school during our usual opening hours, and look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
We would like to remind you that tomorrow, 30th November, is a school and Nursery holiday. We look forward to seeing everyone again on Tuesday.

The afternoon children had such fun with their camp fire that we offered the morning children the opportunity to make one too. They worked so well together searching the Nursery garden for broken wood, twigs and leaves to add to the pile ready for burning and they too enjoyed gathering round their fire for a chat. We listened carefully for the crackling noises and watched while the wind blew the smoke and helped the fire to burn. Well done boys and girls for being very sensible around the fire.
