Red Nose Day

As you can see from our photos, the Nursery children took part with great enthusiasm in Primary 4’s challenge on Friday to wear something red for Red Nose Day.
Thank you to all those who bought red noses from us earlier in the week as you helped to raise £53 towards the Red Nose Day total and apologies to those who missed out as there wasn’t a single red nose left to buy in the whole school.
Thank you for all your donations and to Amelia’s family for their raffle prize which was won by Ava. Including red nose sales, the raffle and donations on the day Nursery families raised a grand total of £135.45 to add to the whole school contributions so thank you to everyone for their generosity.

Christmas Sales Team

Our chocolate Christmas shapes seemed very popular at the Christmas Fayre today and were sold in no time. Well done to our great sales team who you can see here and to all those children who helped to make the chocolate.
It was great to see lots of Nursery children and their families visiting the Fayre too. We hope that you all enjoyed yourselves.

Christmas Fayre

With the school Christmas Fayre tomorrow (Thursday), we have been making chocolate Christmas shapes to sell on our stall. Discussions about what would happen when we put chocolate in the microwave then the fridge developed the children’s learning about sciences. We also used numeracy skills to count the squares of chocolate as well as reading the dial to set the microwave so there was lots of learning going on as we prepared our chocolate shapes.

We hope that lots of Nursery children and their families will be able to come to the Christmas Fayre tomorrow between 2.00 and 4.00 in school. We can certainly recommend the chocolate shapes to anyone who has a little money to spend.

Sticky Kids Christmas Show

Great fun and laughter was had by all at the “Sticky Kids” show this week. It was lovely to join children from other local nurseries in a super Christmas celebration of singing and dancing. As you can see, several of our children showed great confidence to go on stage as part of the show and everyone sang enthusiastically along with all the songs. Thank you to all those families who contributed to the children’s calendar enterprise project which paid for this show. We really appreciate your support and the children all had a brilliant time.

Christmas Enterprise

Thank you to everyone who has placed an order for calendars. The children have been working hard to make all the orders to help raise money for their Christmas party and the “Sticky Kids” show and some calendars are now being sent home. We hope that, at £2.50, you feel that this is a bargain present for family members and we are delighted that we currently have orders worth over £250 which will pay for the show and help towards the cost of our party. We would like to thank you very much for supporting the children to take part in this enterprise project.

Children In Need

Thank you to all those who contributed to our Children in Need non-uniform day. Some went with the superhero theme and others simply enjoyed wearing something different. We are delighted to say that Nursery raised £65 as part of a grand total of £264 raised by Hecklegirth School so thank you very much to everyone who contributed.

Calendars For Christmas

This week seems to have brought lots of orders to the calendar factory and the children have been working like busy little Christmas elves to make them. If your order is not yet complete, it may be that we are still waiting to get a group photo that you’ve ordered as we obviously can’t take it if some children in the group are absent. Sophie must have made a good job of her order as her Mum said,

“sophie.s enjoyed making her calendars we ordered 2 so she could give one to her nana and papa for there Christmas. they are lovely and well worth the 2.50”

Well done Sophie. We hope Nana and Papa love your calendar.

Last Chance To Order

Thank you to everyone who has placed an order for calendars. The children have been working hard to make all the orders to help raise money for their Christmas party and many of you should now have your calendars. We would like to remind you that this is the last week to place your orders and we hope that, at £2.50, you feel that this is a bargain present for family members.

Christmas Fayre

Our Christmas Fayre will be held in school from 6.00 – 8.00 p.m. on Wednesday of this week. Nursery children have made little pot pourri bags to sell on the night so why not come along and buy one for a gift? There will be lots of other stalls and activities to enjoy for the whole family including a visit from Santa. Here you can see the children carefully selecting the pot pourri for their bags.

Happy Customers

Now that some of the children’s calendars are getting finished and being sent home, we are finding some happy customers.
Madison’s Mum certainly seems happy in her recent comment: “the calanders are lovely,and a good idea for raising money,and madison enjoyed doing it x”

The children are enjoying decorating them and they quite like posing for the photos too. Don’t worry if you’ve not got yours home yet – it’s a busy production line but they will all be ready in plenty of time for the end of term.
