Confident Individuals – Page 35 – Hecklegirth Nursery

Proud Parent

Dylan’s family has left a comment about our recent graduation:

“We had a lovely morning at the Graduation ceremony, brought a wee tear to my eye watching all the children sing and was so proud to see how confident Dylan was as he walked up onto the stage to receive his certificate. He has had a wonderful year at nursery and we would like to thank all the staff for all your hard work, helping him to grow and develop into the confident little boy that he has become, helping him get ready for P1, you all do such a fantastic job. Dylan will miss you all, and we will bring him back to visit 😀 xxxxxxx”

Thank you so much for your kind comment. We all felt very proud of the children too and hope that we will still see lots of them at school events and in the town.

Afternoon Graduation

Just as in the morning, the afternoon children showed themselves to be confident individuals at their graduation ceremony on Monday and we loved the happy smiles on everybody’s face. Thank you also to all the family and friends who formed a super audience – we really appreciate your support. We hope that you enjoy this little snapshot of our day.

Graduation Smiles

We were all so proud of the children at our graduation ceremony earlier this week as they sang and danced to celebrate their year in Nursery. They showed great confidence to perform to their families and then to walk on stage on their own to shake hands and receive their certificates.
Thank you to Mrs. Alexander and Mr. Palmer for taking time to present the children with their awards and for being so patient to pose with each child so that a precious family photo could be taken. Thank you also to all the family and friends who attended our little ceremony and for your support throughout the year.
Here is a gallery of the morning children.I will put photos of the afternoon children on as soon as possible.

Lunch With Friends

Mollie’s Mum has been looking at the photos of the children having a school lunch last week:

“Mollie loved her school lunch, she is really looking forward to P1 and having lunch in the dining room with her friends. Thank you to all the dinner ladies for being so helpful and kind.”

We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your lunch Mollie and it won’t be long until you can have lunch with your friends every day.

School Lunch

Last week some Hecklegirth parents joined their children to sample a school lunch in preparation for the move to Primary 1 in August. Hot dogs and chips or delicious sandwiches were on offer and I spotted some tasty looking ice-cream and yoghurts for dessert which seemed to go down well with most children. Hopefully everyone is now looking forward to their school lunches when they come to Primary 1 in August.

An Afternoon at Farmer’s Den

As promised, here is a selection of photos of the afternoon children enjoying all the different activities on our recent visit to Farmer’s Den. I have included a photo of their teddies too so the boys and girls can see if they can spot their teddy having a little rest after chasing those bubbles. Click then click again for a closer look.

Singing Award

Orla’s family is delighted with her recent certificate:

“Thank you for Orla’s award. She was really excited about receiving it for her singing. We hope she sings loudly at the graduation. Many thanks.”

I’m sure you will be impressed when you watch Orla performing on Monday. She has been singing beautifully and making a super effort when we practise.

Farmer’s Den Fun

We would like to say a huge thank you to the HFA for paying for all the Nursery children to have a session at Farmer’s Den to celebrate our year in Nursery. Not only did the children run, jump and climb with boundless energy but they enjoyed a snack with their teddies and took some time out to draw and build when they needed a little rest. Those special teddies also had great fun trying to catch the bubbles from the bubble machine that was turned on after our little picnic so it was a busy day for all. I wonder if anyone can spot their teddy having a little rest on the settee in one of our photos?
Thank you to all those who have contributed to the HFA fundraising activities this year as you helped the Nursery children have a super session at Farmer’s Den. These photos show the morning children having fun. Photos of the afternoon session will be posted soon.

Morning Outdoor Learning

The morning children have been as enthusiastic in their outdoor learning as the afternoon children so we would like to share a little gallery of their play in the summer sunshine.
