Thank you to those who have returned our evaluation questionnaires as well as the children’s flower sheets. We greatly value your input and will collate your responses to guide the development of our Nursery.
We ask that those who have not yet done so, please return these sheets as soon as possible since we add the flower sheets to each child’s special book before they are sent to Primary 1 which for some is in a different school so takes time to arrange. Thank you for your support.

Buddies
Enid’s family has been looking of the photos of the Primary 6 buddies meeting our children’s families:
“Really lovely to have the opportunity to meet Enids buddy Katy, Enid is very fond of her. I think it’s a great idea to buddy the nursery children up with a P6 pupil, I think it will really help Enid settle into school.”
Thank you for your kind comment. We are certainly very impressed with our buddies and think that they will make a big difference to the children as they move to Primary 1.
Sleep Scotland
Further to our recent Sleep Workshop run by Mr. Palmer and Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, we now have a poster from Sleep Scotland on display in Nursery. We hope that this website provides some useful help and support for those who are having sleep problems. 
Barbecue
Please remember our barbecue tomorrow night (6 – 8pm) organised by Hecklegirth Fundraisers. There are lots of fun activities for the family and money raised is used to benefit all the children in our school.
It is thanks to this hardworking group that all our Nursery children will have a free outing to Farmer’s Den soon to celebrate the end of our year so we hope that lots of our families will be able to support this event.
Meet The Parents
Our Primary 6 buddies very kindly took the time to write letters to their Nursery child’s family so that they know a little about them and they have recently introduced themselves to their parents/carers. We hope that this has eased a few of the worries you may have had about your child moving to Primary 1 and that you enjoy sharing the letters with your children. We thought that we would share a few photos of everyone meeting each other.
Thank you Primary 6 children for doing a super job. You certainly are responsible citizens and effective contributors!

Proud Mummy And Daddy
Joshua’s family is delighted with his recent certificate:
“My wee dude was so pleased when he got his certificate. He was smiling all weekend & telling everybody. He was a very proud boy & Mummy & Daddy were proud too. Well done Joshi 😍☺ “
It’s lovely to hear how proud Joshua and his family are feeling. Very well done Joshua! Keep up the great work.
Fit To Learn?
Do you have problems getting your child to sleep? Do you know how much sleep young children need and how important sleep is for their development?
Why not come along to our “Fit To Learn?” workshops in the school dinner hall this Thursday 24th May, between 2.00 and 4.00 to learn a little more? These are drop-in workshops so you do not have to be there at 2.00. Mr. Palmer, our Depute Head, and Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, will be there and children can accompany their parents/carers so you may want to drop in after our Fun Activity Day?
Fab Photos
Joshua and Nancy’s family enjoyed our photos of the royal wedding celebrations.
“Fab photos of all the children. I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as Joshua & Nancy did 😊 x “
“Nancy loved snack time. She was comparing what she had for snack with her brother & what he had for snack when got home 🤣.”
We are glad that you both enjoyed our special day. It is lovely to have a special snack sometimes and it was certainly a little bit special that day.
Busy Times
Joshua and Nancy’s family has been enjoying the photos of the Big Pedal Fun Day and the seed planting and have left us some lovely comments.
“Joshua & Nancy look like they are raring to go. They loved being in the playground on the bikes 😁.”
“Wow Nancy looks like she was concentrating very hard when planting her sunflower seeds. Clever girl, well done 😊.”
“Well done Joshua on concentrating very well planting your sunflower seeds. Your getting very good at planting & flowers 😊.”
It has certainly been a busy time in Nursery lately but the children never seem to be short of enthusiasm for all our activities.
