Graduation Day Take Two

Just as in the morning, the afternoon children showed themselves to be confident individuals at their graduation ceremony on Tuesday and we loved the happy smiles on everybody’s face. We would like to thank Mr. Palmer for presenting the children with their certificates and for taking the time to ensure that every family was able to get a photo of their child on stage. Thank you also to all the family and friends who formed a great audience – we really appreciate your support.

Graduation Day

How proud we all were of the children at our graduation ceremonies yesterday as they sang and danced to celebrate their achievements this year in Nursery. The morning children looked particularly  grown-up in the fantastic caps that Theo’s Mum kindly made for every single child. No doubt these will be fond mementos to keep as a reminder of a special day so huge thanks to Theo’s Mummy for all her hard work.

The children showed great confidence to perform to their families and then to walk on stage on their own to shake hands and receive their certificates. Thank you to Mrs. Alexander for taking time to present each child with their award – we think her knees must have been very sore by the end of the day. Thank you also to all the family and friends who attended our little ceremony and for your support throughout the year.

Here is a gallery of the morning children. I will put photos of the afternoon children on as soon as possible. Click the click again for a clearer view of the photos.

Move Up Fun

Move Up afternoon seems to have been a great success for those Nursery children moving to Primary 1 at Hecklegirth. If you click on the link to the school website on the right you will be able to see some super photos of the children in their new classrooms. Simply click on the Primary 1 and Primary 2/1 links once on the school blog.
The children were keen to tell us all about their exciting afternoon – here are some of their comments.

Theo: I liked playing with the garage mat and cars with the girls.
Joe: I liked the stories Miss Campbell was reading.
Zander: I liked everything. Painting was the best.
Suzie: it was brilliant. Miss Campbell is very kind.
Conan: One of the girls was reading loads of books to me and Mrs. Lindsay was helping everybody.
Jessica: I liked the play dough.
Niamh: I liked Miss Campbell. She was helping me with drawing.
Charlie: I liked the beanbags – you needed to find a letter on them.
Mikey: it was good for drawing.
Isaac: I played on the Wii.
Keira M.: I liked best of all playing with the hospital and the train set.
Callum: we read a book about a woman that swallowed a fly. Mrs. Lindsay’s good.
Fay: it was fun. I liked all the new things.

School Lunch

Children moving to several local schools had an opportunity this week to sample a school lunch. At Hecklegirth parents joined their children who enjoyed hot dogs and chips or a delicious sandwich along with fruit or a little bag of vegetables. The ice-cream and jelly dessert looked particularly tasty and seemed to go down well with most children. Hopefully, everyone now knows what happens in the dinner hall and is looking forward to their school lunches when they come to Primary 1 in August.

Graduation Invitations

mrs aMrs. Alexander and Mr. Palmer were both delighted to receive graduation invitations recently from Nursery children. Lots of them had made a contribution to the cards, either through drawings or writing and they looked super. We look forward to seeing everyone at graduation on Tuesday. Please remember to return your slip indicating how many seats you would like to ensure that the hall is set up for everyone.

Family Visitors

Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who were able to take the time today to bring their children for a visit to Nursery. Lots of children have been visiting with playgroups over the past few weeks but it was lovely to see them with their families today and we were impressed with how confident the children were. We look forward to seeing you all again in August.

Thank You Buddies

Mrs. Alexander enjoyed our post on the daily kilometre that Nursery children and their buddies have been doing:

“Thank you buddies for helping Nursery pupils be more active in school. It really is making a difference and showing our youngest pupils the importance of keeping fit.”

Everyone seems to be improving their fitness with this activity. Well done to Primary 6 and Nursery pupils.
