Here is a snapshot of some of the decorations that the children created. They are currently displayed in the school corridor, along with all the other Christmas trees, ready for our concerts. We love that they all look individual and different.
The children have been experimenting with different materials to make decorations for their trees and everyone had the opportunity to make their designs unique to them with the various sparkles and glitter available. Egg boxes and lollipop sticks provided the starting point and the children then showed originality and creativity to produce a wonderful selection of decorations.
They are currently on display in the school corridor, along with all those designed by other classes, so will be admired by our whole school community. Once the children take them home, we hope that they will make an appearance on your trees every year to remind you of the children’s time in Nursery. Here are some of the morning children busy at work. We will share photos from the afternoon soon.
We would like to remind you that tomorrow, 11th December, will be party day for the morning and afternoon children. We look forward to seeing the children in their party clothes and you are welcome to join us at 11.00 or 2.00 to see Santa if you would like. Entrance will be by the Nursery door as normal.
We would like to remind you that the menu option sheet to select your child’s meals for next term must be returned by Wednesday 12th December at the latest as the kitchen places food orders in advance to ensure that the appropriate ingredients are delivered. Without an order form, the kitchen will unfortunately not be able to ensure that your child’s choice of meal will be available.
Please complete and return the menu sheet with your child’s choices by 12th December. Thank you for your co-operation to ensure a smooth start to the new lunch provision.
Very well done to these recent award winners. We hope that you are proud of your certificates and showed them to everyone in your family.
Our “Word of the Week” this week will be choir as we continue to practise our Christmas songs.
The festive season is well under way in our art area and the children have been very busy creating their own Christmas cards for their families. Just look at the concentration on those little faces!
Come wind, rain or shine we have to care for our garden and these helpful little gardeners did a great job recently weeding our plant box. They showed good listening skills to carry out instructions and, as well as pulling all the weeds out, they tidied everything into the bin afterwards, leaving us with a weed free and tidy box. What super “responsible citizens” and “effective contributors” they are which are two of the aspirations we have for all children in Scotland
As part of our celebration of Hecklegirth’s Gold Sports Award, some of our children enjoyed taking part in a 10 Station Fitness Challenge in the playground on Monday with Primary 1. As you can see, a wide range of activities were on offer and everyone had fun having a go at lots of different experiences. Thanks go to all those who helped the children to have a great afternoon.
Thank you so much to those who have kindly donated to our local charity, Kate’s Kitchen. Bars of soap, hot water bottles, gloves, hats and socks would all be gratefully received to distribute in our local community. Final date to donate to this worthy cause is 14th December. Thank you very much for your kind generosity if you have already given donations.
