Monster Comments

Two of our families have enjoyed looking at some of the Hecklegirth monsters that were made at home.

“Callum really enjoyed making his own version of the Hecklegirth monster. We loved looking at the pictures of all the different monsters. Well done everyone.”

“Sophie had a fantastic time making this monster its the prettiest monster I have ever seen.”

It’s nice to hear that Callum and Sophie both had fun making their own monsters. We loved that there were so many different ideas of what the monster should look like.

Hecklegirth Monsters

We would like to share some of the Hecklegirth monsters that the children recently designed and made at home with their families. Inspired by our discussions of the Loch Ness Monster they have produced some wonderful models and drawings of their own. I wonder what the Loch Ness Monster would think of them?

Family Breakfast

We would like to remind you that the Family Breakfast event will be held tomorrow, 5th February, for the children and their families from the Sunshine Room. If you returned the slip to say that you plan to attend, this will be in the school dinner hall at 9.00 for morning children and 2.30 for those in the afternoon. Rainbow Room children and their families will take part on Friday, 6th February, at the same times. We look forward to seeing you all then.

Celebrating Our Learning About Scotland

Several parents have been enjoying our posts about Burns and learning about Scotland.

Lewis’ Mum said, “What a lovely photo!! All looking very smart in their tartan! I was so sorry that I couldn’t manage to attend the Burns Day event, but was over the moon that Lewis’ Dad recorded it for me! All the children sang beautifully and I was very proud of Lewis!”

Savannah’s Mum was pleased with the photo of her on the day of our Burns celebration: “Lovely pic xx”

We also had a comment from Summer’s Mum who said, “Summer is loving her time at Nursery and the topic just now about Scotland!”

The children certainly seemed to have responded well to learning about Scotland and they did us proud on the day of our Burns celebration.

Snow Scenes

Although the winter weather caused Nursery to be closed one day last week, there was still plenty of snow in the garden to have fun with when we returned. Despite our best efforts, it was tricky to make a snowman but the children soon produced alternative ways to use this exciting resource. Snow angels and snow castles, made using buckets, were very popular as was rolling tyres and barrels through the snow to investigate what tracks they made. We made snow pies instead of mud pies and there were some super discussions about where the best snow was, how long it would stay and what would happen to it.

School and Nursery Closure

Sorry for the closure today but weather conditions were so poor on the roads that they were not safe for staff travelling to work. Mrs. Alexander attempted to get to school at 6a.m. but turned back at Carrutherstown when she got stuck!! Keep checking www.dumgal.gov.uk and Westsound radio for updates but, weather permitting, we will be open to pupils tomorrow.

Well Done

We have some lovely comments in response to the post showing our most recent certificate winners:

“Well done Joe !!”
