Bethany’s family has been looking at our Christmas celebration photos:
“Was fair proud watching Bethany sing the Christmas songs and going up to santa this year. Her confidence has came on a lot. All the boys and girls done amazing. Well done”
It is lovely to see the children so confident. We still have photos from their party and will post them here soon.
As promised, here are some photos of the afternoon children just before their Christmas celebration. Just like the morning children, they showed confidence in their performance and sang beautifully for their families despite having depleted numbers due to absences. Well done to everyone and thank you so much to all those who provided a wonderful audience for the children.
We have a lovely comment from Enid’s family about the children’s Christmas performance:
“We were so proud of Enid’s singing, full of joy & confidence. Such a pleasure to watch the children all enjoying themselves. Thank you”
We felt very proud of all the children too as most were not daunted by the large audience and showed themselves to be the ‘confident individuals’ and ‘effective contributors’ that we aim for. Thank you to all our families for making this a wonderful occasion for the children.
We hope that, like us, you were very proud of all the children as they behaved and sang so beautifully in front of a big audience at our Christmas celebration yesterday. Huge thanks go to Mr. Bill Malone, Old Parish Church, and Mr. Palmer for joining us and to the many family members who helped to make this a special occasion for the children. Here are a few photos of the morning children as they prepared for their performance. We will post photos of the afternoon children soon.
We would like to remind you that tomorrow, 19th December, will be party day for the morning and afternoon children. We look forward to seeing the children in their party clothes and you are welcome to join us at 11.15 or 2.20 to see Santa if you would like. Entrance will be by the Nursery door as normal.
We hope that you are all looking forward to our Christmas celebration tomorrow, Monday 18th December. Morning parents can join us at 11.20 and afternoon parents at 2.20. The Nursery door will be opened for entry through the usual entrance and parents and family can park in the John Bell car park.
We are keeping our Christmas celebration informal to encourage the children to enjoy a relaxed and happy performance of the songs they have been learning. Mr. Bill Malone, from the Old Parish Church, has kindly agreed to join us and we are delighted that many of our families have indicated that they would like to be part of our celebration. As you can see, the children have been practising to make sure that you enjoy their songs. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

We would like to remind you that Family Learning Christmas activities will take place this week on Tuesday 12th December and Thursday 14th December. Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, has been planning some fun activities for you to enjoy with your children so we hope that lots of families can join in. Younger children are welcome too.
We are delighted to hear that a grand sum of over £1700 was raised at last week’s Christmas Fayre. It was lovely to see lots of Nursery children and their families on the night and we would like to thank everyone who contributed to this great total, whether by donating to our hampers, buying squares or attending the Fayre. The Hecklegirth Fundraisers group has already kindly given us a donation towards our Christmas party so our thanks go to everyone involved.
Enid’s Mum was one of the parents who joined in with our reading day:
“I really enjoyed the opportunity to come in and read with the children, it makes me so happy to be able to do these things with Enid especially when I see how happy it makes her.”
We really appreciated all those parents joining us as we try to find different ways to encourage literacy for our children. We hope to offer this opportunity again next term if there is interest from our families. Thank you to all those who took part this term.
