A Journey To Australia
Today it was the turn of the morning children to go on their travels with their passport as part of Multicultural Week. Australia was our destination up in Primary 3/4 where we were entertained by a cartoon of the story of Waltzing Matilda. We learned lots of new words and joined in the song with P3/4.
We were very proud of our Nursery children who behaved beautifully on their travels and showed that they had listened well to the story. Thanks go to Primary 3/4 for being such welcoming hosts. We enjoyed our visit.
Travelling The World
Armed with our passport, the afternoon children headed off to Italy yesterday. It was situated in the Primary 3 classroom for our Multicultural Week and the children of P3 entertained us with a wonderful number song in Italian and some interesting facts about Italy. They then kindly helped our children to design their own pizza from craft materials which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you to Primary 3 for inviting us to Italy and for stamping our passport.
We had to make a speedy return journey to Nursery (also known as India for this week’s activities) as Primary 2 were travelling our way. Just like the Nursery children, they seemed to enjoy our experiences of India as they designed mehndi hands, tasted different Indian foods and dressed up in authentic Indian clothes to perform a traditional dance. Thank you Primary 2 for taking part so enthusiastically in our activities. We loved having you to visit and hope that your short stay in India was a good one.
Tesco Tasters
We have had a busy afternoon as part of our Multicultural Week, starting with the children tasting a range of breads and cheeses from different countries. We were delighted that most children were confident to taste something new and, as you can see, they gave this experience a big ‘thumbs up’.
Buddy Time
Noah’s family likes the photo of him playing on the school field with his buddy:
“What a lovely photo! Noah loves spending time with his buddy!”
The children are getting to know their buddies well now and it’s lovely to see the relationships blossom as the children grow in confidence in the wider school environment.
Gruffalo Hunt
Before the weather took a turn for the worse, some of the children from the Rainbow Room joined the Sunshine Room children in some fun activities in the school nature area. As well as enjoying a picnic and investigating the area, they went on a Gruffalo hunt one day which was great fun as they worked together to find the different characters. As you can see, the children from the Sunshine Room have loved the story and enjoyed drawing the characters once back in Nursery.
Playground Visits
The children moving to Hecklegirth P1 in August had some exciting times lately when they visited the school playground. Their Primary 6 buddies ensured that all the children were confident and happy to try out the different areas of the playground, the field and the timber trails. It was wonderful to see how much the children had grown in confidence thanks to some super support from their buddies.
Hopefully we will soon enjoy another visit to the playground when the rest of the school is out playing. Well done P6 buddies! You are doing a super job!
Congratulations
Life In Primary 1
The children who will soon be making the transition to Primary 1 at Hecklegirth had a visit recently to the P1 classrooms to get a taste of school life. As you can see, they settled in well and were confident to try out a range of activities. Thank you to Mrs. Lindsay and Miss Campbell, as well as all their children, for making the Nursery children feel so welcome.
Tesco Tasting
Health Week meant lots of fun, active events but we also had visits from Tesco staff who brought a selection of fruits for the children to taste as part of a healthy eating lifestyle. Some were keener than others to sample fruits that they would not normally eat, such as pomegranate, but many ‘had a go’ and discovered that they liked what they tasted.
Thank you to Tesco for providing us with such a lovely selection of fruit and to the staff who prepared it and talked to the children about what they could sample.
