Mischa Impresses Miss Wilson and Mrs. Johnston

Our learning at the start of this term has focussed on Winter and Mischa has impressed both Miss Wilson and Mrs. Johnston from Primary 6 with her story telling and drawing about Winter as well as her excellent talking skills. If you click on the photo you will see Mischa’s super drawing of a penguin and a polar bear about to go into his house.
Mischa showed herself to be a ‘confident individual’ when she talked to Miss Wilson about her drawing, earning herself a Head Teacher’s sticker and her work being displayed on the Achievement Board in the dinner hall. She then spoke with great confidence to Mrs. Johnston who was so impressed that she took Mischa to Primary 6 to borrow some interesting books about icy lands and penguins. Thank you very much Mrs. Johnston for the books which Mischa shared with her group. We hope that you enjoyed Mischa’s guided tour of our ice cave and that you will come back and visit us soon.
Very well done Mischa for some fantastic work. You certainly deserved that Head Teacher’s sticker.

Find out about Hecklegirth School

It seems hard to imagine that we are almost at the point of enrolment for school again, with the dates looming next week. Miss Wilson will be holding an Information Meeting on Friday of this week for the parents of those children who are moving to Primary 1 in August and who are interested in what Hecklegirth School has to offer. Meetings will be held at 9.15 and 2.00 in school for everyone interested.

Happy Days

Ollie and his family have commented that they are happy to be back in Nursery:

“Ollie had a great time at nursery in the lead up to Christmas. He enjoyed his break but we are all happy to return to ”normality’. He was excited to return to nursery today and is full of stories. Due to sickness I was unable to join in in a nursery session so hopefully I will manage one this term. Keep up the good work everyone. Love ollie, Wendy and Stuart hamilton”

We look forward to you coming in to play one day and hope that lots of families continue to join in a session with us. We have a new sheet up in the cloakroom areas of each room so why not add your name to come and play one day (or more) this term?

Happy New Term

Our new term starts for the children on Tuesday 8th January when we look forward to seeing everyone again. We will also be meeting lots of new children and feel sure that you will make them feel welcome in our Nursery. They will be excited to be starting Nursery and looking forward to making new friends so we hope that this is the beginning of a happy experience for them.

Staffing will stay the same in each room this term and the children will keep the same key workers as previously. However, rather than alternating weeks in each room, Miss Awde, our Modern Apprentice, will be working in the Sunshine Room up to the February break and will finish the term in the Rainbow Room.

We look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday.

Building Materials

Last week we took delivery of a huge pile of wood, thanks to Mr. Raymond Kerr of Kerr’s Sawmill. The children loved being in charge of these new building materials and helped to organise them in the Nursery garden. Almost immediately, several children showed great imagination and started to build their own dens, leading the way in the play and guiding others in good teamwork.
We would like to thank Mr. Kerr for his generous donation and look forward to many happy hours of problem-solving, construction and den building in the Nursery garden.

More Party Photos

As promised, here are some photos of the afternoon children having fun at their party on Wednesday. Don’t they look fantastic in their party clothes?

We would like to wish all our children and their families a Happy Christmas. We want to thank you for your support this term and look forward to seeing you all at the start of next term which is January 8th for the children.

Party Fun!

Dancing, games and party food make for a good Christmas party and we had them all at our parties. The children had planned their games and helped to make some of the food which made it more exciting for them. Most of them certainly seemed to enjoy the cakes and jellies that they had made themselves.
The children’s behaviour was excellent and it was lovely to see the children from the Rainbow and Sunshine Rooms playing happily and confidently together. Santa had promised that, if their singing was good enough, he would come to the party and everyone seemed very pleased to see him. One or two even took the chance to slip a last minute letter to him, just as a reminder for next week. Thank you, Santa, for taking time to visit us at such a busy time for you.

The photos below give you a taste of our morning party. Photos of the afternoon party will follow soon.

Cooking is Fun!

We like Finlay’s Mum’s comment on the photo of him tasting the cake mixture:
“Finlay was making sure the cakes are going to taste good.Yummy!”

We are also excited to hear about Ollie’s plans for baking tonight:
“Ollie is baking shortbread tonight for all the lucky nursery teachers. He had so much fun this term at nursery,especially in the run up to Christmas. If his shortbread doesn’t work out then we have a box of sweeties on standby.
Thanks again. X”

Thank you Ollie for such a lovely thought. We’ll look forward to tasting your shortbread tomorrow. Have lots of fun making it!
