Good Buddies

The children who will go to Primary 1 at Hecklegirth next year are now getting to know their buddies and good relationships are being built up. We feel sure that Jayden’s buddy will be happy to know that he must be doing a good job as Jayden’s Mum left a lovely comment:

“Jayden has been excited about his buddy and enjoys spending time with him which is lovely”

The buddies will be spending more time with the children in the weeks to come and we feel sure that they will all do a good job. Keep up the good work everyone.

Playing Together

Lots of children from P5 and P6/5 took the time on the last day of term to come and play in Nursery. They are building good relationships with our children and it is lovely to see the older and younger children playing so happily together. We look forward to lots of opportunities next term when the older children can join Nursery for various activities.

Rebecca from Primary 6 has been looking at our blog and commented on playing with the Nursery children:

“It is such great fun playing with all the nursery kids i cant wait to find out who my buddy is”.
“It is so much fun and its great to meet new friends”

You are all doing a super job Rebecca. Thank you for visiting our blog and leaving a comment.

Thanks To Primary 6

Ava’s Mum made a lovely comment on the photo of Nursery and Primary 6 playing together:

“This is such a lovely photo, the children look so happy playing together. Ava loves the girls & boys from Primary 6 coming to play in Nursery, I hear lots of stories at home about the fun they have had. It is very reassuring to know that the older children look out for the little ones.”

It’s nice to hear that Ava’s talking about Primary 6 at home. They really are so kind and patient with our Nursery children, even giving up some of their own break to play with them. Well done Primary 6. Keep up the good work.

“Let’s Play At Being Primary 6”

Friday means Primary 6 day in Nursery as that is when they visit to play with the Nursery children. Primary 6 are all becoming very popular with the younger children and are proving themselves to be good role models who are patient and encouraging in their play. Children in the Sunshine Room have become so fond of their visitors that we are now hearing them say, “Let’s play at being Primary 6”. What greater compliment could you have? Thank you to everyone in Primary 6 who comes to play. You are showing yourselves to be responsible citizens and great role models to the Nursery children.

Primary 6 Visits

Thank you to Alex from Primary 6 for her kind comment on helping out in Nursery:

“I had a great time in the nursery with the wee ones.”

You are all doing a good job and the Nursery children obviously enjoy your visits so keep up the good work Primary 6. Thank you Alex for taking the time to look at our blog.

Primary 6 In Nursery

Children from Primary 6 have been coming to Nursery to play with our children since before Christmas and Nursery children have absolutely loved their visits. The older children have learned how to relate to young children and have built good relationships with them to the extent that some are chatting in the garden at school break time even when it’s not a day for visits. It’s also been lovely that we have had some Primary 6 children who have been able to talk to our Polish children in their native language which has added to their experience.
Thank you to all Primary 6 children who are involved in Nursery. We appreciate that you have volunteered to come to play with our children, sometimes in your own break time, and hope that you will continue to visit us. Thank you also to Mrs. Johnston and Miss McAuley for encouraging Primary 6 to take on this important role.

More Buddy Comments

Amelia from Primary 6 has been commenting on some of our posts on Nursery and Primary 6 buddies:

“amazingly me and my beautiful buddies played for half an hour it was great fun”

“Nate wanted to build the tallest tower in the world but in they end it fell over with a SMASH!!!”

You and the rest of your class are proving to be brilliant buddies Amelia. Thank you for taking time to comment on our blog and keep up the good work.

Farmer’s Den

Corey’s Mum made a comment on one of the photos from our recent summer outing:

“Corey had a brilliant time at the cinema and farmers den thank you to all the staff for giving the kids a lovely treat”

Amelia from Primary 6 also commented on our outing:

“It seems as if my amazing buddy Nate enjoyed it at farmers den !”

They certainly did seem to enjoy their day and everyone behaved beautifully.

Playground Fun

Primary 6 are delighted that the Nursery children and their parents are pleased with their buddying skills. Harli’s Mum has added a comment which will please Chloe:

“It makes us very happy as parents to know theres an extra friendly face looking out for Harli as she starts “big school”, she’s already been watching out to see if she can spot Chloe in the playground in the morning and has taken great pride in telling friends and family about her buddy.”

Today art aprons went up to Primary 6 with the children so you could ask them at home what they were doing. We thought it was about time we put up a few more photos of the children with their buddies so here are some from one of their visits to the playground.
