As part of our transition work, Primary 6 children have begun to visit Nursery to play and build relationships with our children. They have shown great enthusiasm and skills with the younger children. Thank you Primary 6 for doing a great job on your first visit. Keep up the good work – the Nursery children enjoyed your visits and are looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Thoughts On Jack Frost
Just like the morning children, some in the afternoon have been talking about Jack Frost and what they think that he is like.
Bethany: he looks like a Christmas tree and lives in the ice.
Kai: he looks like ice. He has chicken nuggets for tea. He lives in the cold.
Kendall: he likes pizza.
Joshua: he looks icy. He likes to eat snowballs. He lives in a werewolf house.
Frankie: he looks like an angel. He likes pizza for tea. He lives in the sky.
Ava: Jack Frost is white. He likes to eat toast. He lives in an ice cave.
Devlin: he’s red. He eats snow.
Halle: he likes ice for his tea. He looks like a Christmas tree. He lives where there’s lots of ice.
Cali: he looks white and icy. He lives at the North Pole. He likes snow sausages, snow burgers and snow sandwiches.
What a lot of great ideas. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us boys and girls.
Settling In
Nancy’s Mum is pleased to see photos of her as she settles in to her first few weeks of Nursery:
“Aw my baby girl. She has settled in very well & loves being at Nursery 😊.
Nancy looks like she’s concentrating hard in this photo 😀 x”
It is surprising how quickly the new children have settled into the routines of Nursery. Thanks go to all the parents and carers for their help with this.
Jack Frost
Most of the children are familiar with the idea of Jack Frost so we asked some of the morning children for their ideas of what he is like.
Enid: he looks like snow.
Olivia: his hair looks like real ice. He lives in the North Pole.
Aoife: he looks like an angel.
Imoen: he lives in the snow.
Eadie: he looks like snow.
Bradley: he’s like snow.
Freddie: he’s frozen. He lives in the frost.
Priya: he lives under the snow.
Crue: he lives in the sky.
When asked what they think Jack Frost eats, they had some interesting ideas.
Fraser: snow or fish fingers.
Penny: sausages and beans.
Enid: a snow sandwich.
Louie: chips.
Aoife: leaves and berries.
Alexa: sweeties.
Brooke: he’ll like burgers.
I think we will have to look out for Mr. Jack Frost to see if we can find out any more about him.
Settled In
One of our new parents has been looking at the recent photos of the children enjoying their first few days in Nursery:
“Lovely to see them settled in and playing nicely together!”
It seems surprising that they have only been in Nursery a few days but they are already looking happy and relaxed. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. We love to hear from everyone.
Congratulations
Congratulations to our most recent award winner. We are very proud of you.
New Children
Twelve new two and three year old children have joined us this term and they are beginning to settle into Nursery life. They are becoming familiar with the routines and are beginning to grow in confidence to try out a range of activities. We hope that our new families enjoy using our blog to get a feel for life in Hecklegirth Nursery and thought we would share a few photos of some of the children enjoying their first few days. If you have not already done so, we would appreciate it if you could please return your child’s permission forms and we can then show your child at play on our blog.
Welcome Back
After the first two days of the new term the children are settling back in to Nursery routines with confidence. As you can see, they are creating their own adventures in our ice cave, exploring the outdoor area and developing their learning in a range of activities.
Thank you to those new families who have returned their forms already – once we have your permission forms completed, the children will be able to make an appearance on our blog for the first time.
Christmas Fun
Here are the promised photos that show that the party spirit was just as evident in the afternoon party as the morning one. As you can see, they joined in the dancing and games with enthusiasm and were also lucky enough to get a visit from Santa. As with the photos of the morning children, please click then click again to make the photos clearer.
Party Time
A fun time was had by all at our Christmas parties with something for everyone, be it games, dancing or party food. The children were also delighted to have a visit from Santa, despite it being such a busy time of year for him. Thank you Santa – we all really appreciated your visit.
The photos below give you a taste of our morning party and photos of the afternoon party will follow soon.
