More Burns Fun
As promised, we wanted to share some photos from our afternoon Burns celebration. As you can see, the children looked great wearing tartan and most were keen to sample the shortbread, oatcakes, cheese and Irn Bru. Despite low numbers on Monday afternoon, most of the children showed themselves to be confident performers and families and friends looked suitably proud of their performance. Well done boys and girls!

Burns Celebration
Today we celebrated Burns Day with shortbread, oatcakes and cheese and, of course, Irn Bru. We appreciate everyone making a super effort to provide the children with ‘a touch o’ tartan’ as it added to the occasion. Thank you also to all the family and friends who came to hear the children sing their Scottish songs. It’s so important for them to have an appreciative audience and you certainly helped to make it a memorable occasion for them. Here you can see some of the morning children enjoying their celebration. Afternoon photos will follow soon.

Scottish Celebration
We would like to remind everyone that we will be holding a small Burns celebration in Nursery tomorrow, 26th January. It would add to the occasion if the children could wear a little ‘touch o’ tartan’ if possible to help us to celebrate in style but the main thing is simply to come and enjoy the day.
The children have done well this week learning their Scottish songs and are looking forward to performing them tomorrow to their families at the end of the Nursery sessions (11.45 and 2.50).

“I really enjoy going to the nursery (;”
Thank you for leaving us a comment Marli. The children have been enjoying your visits and you and your friends are doing a super job as buddies.
Buddies
As part of our transition work, Primary 6 children visit Nursery every week to play and build relationships with our children. They have worked on what makes a good buddy and are showing great enthusiasm and skills with the younger children. Thank you Primary 6 and those children from Primary 7/6 who have been doing a great job. Keep up the good work – the Nursery children enjoy your visits.

Nursery Smiles
Look at the confident smiles from more of our new pupils as they come towards the end of their first week in Nursery. Thank you to all their families for helping them settle in – you must feel very proud of how well they have done.
Settling In
Fifteen new children joined us this week and they are all beginning to settle well into Nursery life. They are becoming familiar with the routines and are growing in confidence to try out a range of activities as you can see from our photos. We hope that our new families enjoy using our blog to get a feel for life in Hecklegirth Nursery. Click then click again on the photos to make them bigger.
Party Spirit
The party spirit was just as evident in the afternoon Christmas party as the morning one and here are the photos that show it. As you can see, they joined in the dancing and games with enthusiasm and were also lucky enough to get a visit from Santa.
