Dates For Your Diary
I have now added several events in our “Dates for Your Diary” link on the right under “Support Information”, including a visit by the school photographer and several events for school and Nursery parents/carers. Please click on the link for details and continue to keep an eye on this link for upcoming events. We hope that this is helpful for everyone.
Cuppa and a Chat
Have you got a question about Nursery, want to know about the children’s special books or perhaps want to meet other parents/carers? You are welcome to pop in for a cuppa and a chat on Tuesday 5th September with Eileen Johnstone (Family Learning Co-ordinator)and Mrs. Carruthers (Nursery teacher). We will be in the Family Learning room opposite the school hall between 11.20 and 1.00 and look forward to seeing some of you there.
Start of Term
We are looking forward to seeing everyone when Nursery starts on Monday 21st August. It will be lovely to see the children who are returning for their second year and to get to know all our new children and their families.
We would like to remind you that morning sessions have a soft start (8.45-9.10) and children finish at 11.55 unless staying for a full day session. Afternoon children all start at 12.15 and should be collected between 3.00 and 3.25. Children attending for a full day finish at 3.05.
Entrance will be through the Nursery garden and in through the first door on the left for the green and yellow groups, the second door on the left for red and blue groups.
If this is your child’s first time in Nursery, we suggest he/she comes initially for one hour to help him/her to settle in. Please see the letter confirming your child’s place in Nursery for details of groups and times.
We look forward to seeing you on Monday.
Dates For Your Diary
We hope that our families are all enjoying their summer holidays spending time together. To help you plan your next holiday, we have put the dates for the new school year in our “Dates for Your Diary” link on the right under “Support Information”.
This link will be updated with more detail as the year progresses, once we have other dates in place, so all the information you need for your calendar will be there. We hope that this is helpful for you and that you enjoy the rest of the holidays.
Graduation
We are looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow (Tuesday) in the school hall for our little graduation to celebrate the end of our year. Please bring your child to Nursery at normal times and use the front door of the school when you return to the hall for our celebration. We ask that you please park in the John Bell car park and not the staff car park. We hope that all the boys and girls bring their good singing voices and we look forward to seeing you all.
Hecklegirth Health Week
We would like to remind everyone that this week, 15th to 19th May, is Health Week at Hecklegirth so the children will be taking part in several exciting activities that have been arranged for us. As some of these events will be outdoors, please ensure that your child has suitable footwear and clothes with them for whatever the weather brings to be able to fully enjoy what is on offer. We are unsure whether this will mean suncream and hats or warm jumpers but we want to make sure that everyone has great fun learning about a healthy lifestyle.
Spring Walk To School Week
Next week is “Spring Walk to School Week” running from Monday 15th to Friday 19th May. The underlying intention of the initiative is to encourage pupils to walk to school or actively travel by bike, scooter etc. where it is safe to do so.
Junior Road Safety Officers in our school will be collecting numbers of those walking or travelling actively. Dumfries and Galloway Council is keen to promote this activity throughout the region and we hope that lots of Nursery children take part next week, particularly as it will be a whole school and Nursery Health Week.
