Sophie’s Mum has been looking at the photos of the eggs the children decorated for the Easter competition:
“sophie loved making these easter chicks it was great fun”
We thought that there were so many fantastic eggs, it must have been very difficult to choose a winner. We were delighted that so many of our families took part and we hope that you all enjoyed doing this together at home.
We hope that everyone is enjoying their Easter holiday and that you are looking forward to returning to Nursery on Monday 20th April for the new term. It will be lovely to see all our children and their families again and we are looking forward to welcoming three new children to Nursery. No doubt they will be excited to start with us and we are sure that all our families will make them feel welcome. We will see you all on Monday.
We have had a lovely message from Joe’s family:
“Thank you all, children and staff for a magical 3/4 of a year !! Joe is missing you all very much especially playing out side too , hope to keep in touch take care Joe and his family x”
We would love it if you kept in touch Joe and hope that you have great fun at your new school.
We would like to thank Joe and his family for their very kind gifts as he said his good-byes at the end of term. The children in the Rainbow Room were so excited to open the parcels that Joe brought and everyone is looking forward to playing with his super gifts. 
The garden set was immediately put into action in our flower shop and seemed to be a great success. Mrs. Alexander and all the Nursery staff would like to say a huge thank you to Joe and his family for their kind generosity. We will miss you Joe but are sure that you will have a super time at your new school.
We hope that everyone is enjoying their Easter holiday especially the lovely Spring sunshine that we have been having. At the end of term we began to talk about the seasonal changes and will continue to learn about springtime at the start of next term. Inspired by our discussions, here is a selection of the artwork that the children have created.

Here are our most recent award winners showing off their certificates last week. Well done all of you! Keep up the good work next term.
There was a great response to the recent competition to decorate boiled eggs for Easter. So many fantastic eggs appeared that an extra table had to be found to display all the Nursery and Primary 1 entrants. Well done to the Nursery prize winner, who you can see here with her prize, and to everyone who took the time to enter the competition. We thought that your ideas were wonderful and wanted to share a selection of them with you all. Can you spot your egg in the photos below?
We have another family who told us that they enjoyed Eileen’s recent Family Learning activity:
“Emma and daddy had great fun with Eileen making some lovely Easter animals.”
We’re glad that you both enjoyed yourselves. It did look like good fun.
Mrs. Alexander has left a message to wish everyone a happy holiday:
I love seeing your photos on the blog because you all look like you’re having the best of times all the time! Happy holidays to you all -Hecklegirth re-opens for term 4 on April 20th. From Mrs Alexander, Headteacher 
Two of our parents have left comments about our Family Learning Easter activities:
“Thank you Eileen for our Easter craft session. Callum especially enjoyed the sing song.”
Summer’s Mum said, “A bit tricky to get elastic on the mask but all great fun for Easter!”
I remember that elastic being tricky but I’m glad to hear that you all had fun.
