Jaylin’s Aunty Mandy has been looking at our Hecklegirth Monster photos:
“I love “monster 17″, Jaylin did a great job! xx”
We agree that it is a super monster. Well done Jaylin!
What Do We Know About China?
As we moved from learning about Scotland to China, with Chinese New Year celebrations approaching, we discussed what we think China and Chinese people might be like. Here are some of the children’s ideas.
Hannah: they like dragons.
Scott: they build their houses of hay and sticks.
Ericka: they dress up in Chinese costumes.
Leah: they use chopsticks for eating noodles.
Rohan: I know how they make dragon costumes. They use sticks. The scales are made of paper.
Paige: they look different from us.
Neve: they eat with chopsticks and they eat stuff with carrots in. They like fireworks.
Mark: they make vegetables.
Jessica: they wear dresses and a cardigan on top.
Matthew: they look different. They’ve got different faces.
Joseph: the houses are red and green.
Calise: they eat chicken.
Hayden: they eat chicken and fried rice.
Joao: it’s a hot country.
Star Award Winners
This week’s Hecklegirth Star Awards went to Hannah, Summer and Roxy. All these girls showed a good understanding of what is safe and unsafe to put in our mouths. We talked about who can give medicines and what would happen if we ate something that was unsafe. Well done girls for listening well and giving us all some good ideas in our discussion. We hope that you are proud of your certificates.

Burn’s Day Comment
We’re glad to hear that Bethany’s Mum likes her Burn’s Day photo. Well done Granny Thomson with the tartan – Bethany looked great.
“What a super photo! Thanks must go to Granny Thomson for sewing the tartan onto Bethany’s top! We really enjoyed the singing and Granny was glad she got to hear it too.”

Photo Comments
The children seem to have enjoyed our learning about Scotland this term and we hope that you’ve had a good flavour of our activities through the blog as well as our displays. Two families have made recent comments on the children’s photos which we’d like to share with you:
“Shay looks great dressed like a piper.”
He did look wonderful and he did so well telling the children in both Nursery rooms all about his outfit. Thank you Shay.
“Great picture of Ollie painting his tartan. He has really enjoyed the Scottish theme over the past few weeks”.
Ollie certainly does seem to have enjoyed this theme. He was particularly good at talking about the different foods and remembering their Scottish names. Well done Ollie.
Hecklegirth Monsters
The Loch Ness Monster was part of our discussions when learning about Scotland and, as a home activity, the children were set the challenge of inventing a Hecklegirth Monster. It’s great to see that so many of you have been talking about this at home and you have produced some super ideas.
Some of the children have chosen to make a Nessie look-a-like and others are quite different. We have drawings and models, some done together with families and some done by the children on their own. We think that they are all wonderful. The children are always so pleased to share what they have done with their families and it helps to make those important links between Nursery and home.
We hope you enjoy our little gallery showing some of the Hecklegirth Monsters. All the monsters can be seen displayed in the corridor and both Nursery rooms.

Proud Parents
Everyone was so proud of the children at their Burn’s celebrations. As well as singing beautifully, they all looked fantastic in their ‘touch o’ tartan’. Thank you to those who have left comments on their photos. We really appreciate it.
Ollie’s Dad said:
“What a great photo. Was so excited to hear Ollie introduce his songs to all the mums and dads, a changed boy as he wouldn’t have done that when he first started nursery. Keep up the good work- you are all helping make Ollie the lovely little boy he is. Thanks.”
Ollie did so well and we were all proud of him too. It’s not easy to speak in front of 50 Nursery morning children but to do it for their families too is a real achievement. What’s more, he went on to introduce our songs the next day to the whole school so well done Ollie.
Corey’s Mum commented on two photos:
“Lovely photo of you Corey with some of your friends but next time say cheese looking at the camera lol”
“Gorgeous photo Corey you look good in your plaid”
It is lovely to see them all looking so grown-up in their tartan. Corey seemed to enjoy taking part in our celebrations and did well.
