Happy Day

Sophie’s family enjoyed our Fun Activity event:

“we had a lovely morning on Tuesday such a nice way to do a sports day it made it a really fun and positive experience for the Children and everyone seemed really happy. We were very proud of Sophie, she was a little shy that we were there watching but also very confident in her abilities. All the staff were great too, well done Everyone!!”

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. How lovely that you felt that everyone seemed really happy.

Mollie’s Sunflowers

We have had a super photo sent from home:

“Mollie’s sunflowers , hopefully they will go in a pot each at the weekend!”

Well done Mollie – you’ve really looked after your sunflowers. Good luck with the planting at the week-end. I wonder how everyone else is getting on with their sunflowers?

Thank You

Thank you very much for the kind comments re our Fun Activity event.

Carmen’s Mum: “Very well done to all the boys and girls today. You were a credit to your teachers and nursery. As a parent I was very proud of all the children, what a lovely atmosphere. Well done to all the teachers who work so hard to put sports day on, you deserve a medal.”

Mollie’s Mum: “It was fantastic seeing the children working together as a team, well done to all! Mollie certainly loved it, especially her medal and ice lolly!”

Medals Galore

Thank you so much to everyone who came to cheer on the children today in their Fun Activity event. We felt very proud of them all as they confidently showed off their skills in front of a large audience and hope that you enjoyed the day as much as we did. Those medals and ice lollies were certainly well deserved. Well done boys and girls – today you really were ‘confident individuals’.

Good Teamwork

Let’s hope the weather stays fine for us tomorrow. Carmen and her Mum are certainly looking forward to our Fun Activity event:

“First I would like to say what great photos of the children in action. This is always a great day and nice to see the children encouraging each other to do well. Can’t wait for tomorrow. Carmen is very excited.”

The children are so good at encouraging each and show great team spirit.

Fun Activity Day

The children have been practising their running, jumping and throwing skills to prepare for our Fun Activity session on Tuesday. They have shown good teamwork and had great fun although at times, as you can see from the photos, we have had to have our coats on due to chilly weather. We are looking forward to lots of families cheering the children on as they show you what they can do. Fingers crossed that we get some sunshine on Tuesday.

Moving On

Lots of the children are beginning to talk about the move to Primary 1 and several teachers from different schools will be visiting us in the next few weeks to meet their new pupils. Ava’s family left us a lovely comment about her visit from Mrs.Corrie:

“Ava enjoyed meeting her new Primary 1 teacher and is looking forward to starting at Elmvale, but will miss all her new friends she made at nursery.”

We will miss all the children too when they move on but it’s always great to see how they have grown in confidence and are ready for the next step in their lives.

Money Matters

Recently the afternoon children had a visit from the Financial Education Officer to talk about what we do with money and to help them in their work on coin recognition. They loved the story just as much as the morning children had earlier this year and took part enthusiastically in all the actions. Bev’s huge purse held the children’s interest and they enjoyed the magic of coin rubbing which led to further discussion of what each coin was worth. We would like to thank Bev for her visit and look forward to seeing her again next year.

Special Visitor

Children who will soon move on to Primary 1 at Elmvale Primary enjoyed a lovely visit yesterday from Mrs. Corrie who will be their teacher next year. It was a great opportunity for them to chat to her and show her their “special books”. Mrs. Corrie enjoyed getting to meet the children and, judging by the big smiles on their faces, they were excited to meet her. Thank you Mrs. Corrie for visiting us – it was lovely to see you.

Den Building

The children who are moving to Primary 1 at Hecklegirth next year were back out in the playground with their buddies and the rest of the school today. They seem to growing in confidence and having fun whether they are on the timber trail, playing football or on the number games. The buddies have also still been visiting Nursery on a Friday and we wanted to share this lovely photos of some of the older children making a den with the Nursery children last week. Well done for being such good role models – all the children love your visits, whether they have a buddy or not.
