Friendship Group

A small group of our children visited the Old Parish Church hall on Monday to entertain the ladies and gentlemen of the friendship club. The children showed great maturity to introduce themselves on stage and to perform a few favourite songs to an enthusiastic audience. One lady was celebrating a very special birthday and was delighted to receive a card and hear “Happy Birthday” sung by our little group.
Thank you to everyone at the friendship club for their warm welcome, their kind applause and, of course, for the delicious snack which was a lovely treat. This was a great opportunity for the children to perform to an audience and we appreciate your kind invitation.

Big Pedal Fun Day

Tuesday was Big Pedal Fun Day for everyone at Hecklegirth as the children brought bikes and scooters to participate in great fun activities in the school playground under the guidance of some super volunteers. The children showed great confidence and enthusiasm to try out the challenges set for them and we would like to thank everyone who helped to organise this event and gave up their own time. The children had super fun and what a great way to keep fit and healthy. Let’s hope that they can have lots of fun in the holidays on their bikes and scooters.

Police Station Take Two

Just as with the Raindrop Room, the children from the Rainbow Room made us very proud with their super behaviour and good listening on their recent visit to the police station. We hope that the children remember the message from P.C. Leggett that police officers are people who can help them.
Thank you again to all those parents who made our trip out possible. You helped the children to have a great experience.

Police Station

This week’s visit to the police station was a great learning experience. We were shown round the cells as well as the rooms in the police station used for interviews and fingerprinting and we found out what happens when someone is brought in to the police station. Some of the children tried out the hard beds and, although they thought it was great fun to try them out, most agreed that they would not like to sleep there.
The police van, of course, was very popular and most had a turn at sitting in the front and the back of the van. The blue light and siren caused great excitement although some had to cover their ears, the noise was so loud.
Thank you to all the parents who came with us on this visit – we appreciate your support. Thank you also to P.C. Leggett for making us feel so welcome. These photos provide a taste of the Raindrop Room visit. We will post photos of the Rainbow Room visit soon.

Fire Station Take Two

As promised, here is a gallery of photos from the Raindrop Room’s visit to the fire station last week. Just as with the Rainbow Room, we were very proud of the good listening and talking from our children as well as their super behaviour. Thank you to everyone who helped to make this a great outing for our children.

Fire Station

As part of learning about jobs in our community, the children had trips out this week to visit the fire station. They got a close up view of the equipment in a fire engine, as well as the fire officer’s uniform, and put their hands to their ears as the blue lights and siren were turned on. Of course, no visit to the fire station is complete without getting an opportunity to sit up in the fire engine and try out the big hose which was great highlight for everyone.
As well as learning about a firefighter’s job, we had a great team teaching the children about road safety through role play. The children showed themselves to be knowledgeable and certainly followed the rules of road safety on the walk to and from the fire station.
Huge thanks go to all the fire team who looked after us and made our visit such fun as well as to the parents who accompanied us – without parent helpers these trips out would not be possible. We hope that you enjoy these photos of the Rainbow Room children and will post photos soon of the Raindrop Room’s visit.

Signs Of Spring

Some of the children from the Raindrop Room paid a visit to the school nature area recently. Armed with clipboards, pictures and a lot of excitement they headed off to look for signs of Spring. The children were delighted to find the beginnings of Spring in evidence, finding some daffodils and buds on plants, but we think that the weather needs to get a little warmer before we can say it really feels like Spring.

Puddle Paddling

As well as the children learning about the weather and how to record it, they also have great fun enjoying all weathers in outdoor play. It is difficult to resist a great big puddle so this little group decided to investigate it when they spotted it in the school playground. Who needs sunshine to enjoy outdoor play? This puddle paddling was much more fun.

Performance Area

A performance area has been created in the Raindrop Room recently as the children have shown enthusiasm for forming little bands and using the microphones to perform to their friends. Here is a snapshot of the stage and audience one morning recently. As you can see, we have no shortage of enthusiastic performers and the children also enjoy being an audience.
