We would like to remind you that our parent consultations start on Monday 13th November. If you have not yet made an appointment to speak to your child’s key worker and would like to arrange a time, the available slots are on display on top of the children’s trays. If none of these appointments suit you, please speak to staff who will do their best to arrange an alternative time.

Special Books
We hope that you have enjoyed looking through the children’s special books with them at home. We would like to remind you to please return them tomorrow, Wednesday 8th November, along with the comment sheet which has been added to your child’s book as part of our ongoing evaluation.
Thank you to those who have already taken the time to share their thoughts with us about their child’s progress. We greatly value your views.
Amazing Outfits
Patrick’s family has been looking at the photos of the children dressed up for Hallowe’en:
“Wow what amazing scary outfits! Patrick loved being a bat 🦇.
Aww Patrick are you having snack?!!! Well done!”
The children did look super and they all seemed to enjoy having a special snack that day.
Spooky Or Sparkle Disco
We would like to remind you that the Hecklegirth Fundraisers are holding a “Spooky or Sparkle disco” tomorrow, 2nd November, in school. Nursery to Primary 2 children can come between 6.00 and 7.00. Entry is £1 and children must be accompanied by an adult. We hope that lots of you will be able to attend to enjoy the fun activities as well as the disco.
Exploring In Mud
Brooke’s family has been looking at the photos of the children’s ‘sticky mud game’:
“Brooke loves exploring in mud and getting messy so I can imagine how much fun this would of been for her, looks like a great game they have all created together. Well done everyone.”
It was a super game which kept them engaged for such a long time. Great teamwork!
Every Day’s A Learning Day
We recently noticed that the links to “Every Day’s A Learning Day” were not working and have now updated them. You can find the links for the “Birth to Three” and “Three To Six” booklets on the right hand side of this page under “Useful Reading”. We recommend these publications as easy to read books for all parents/carers and hope that you find them useful and interesting. Apologies if you had been trying to access them without success.
Talking About Autumn
Learning about Autumn this term has been helped greatly by the children’s super contributions to our display. Chestnuts, acorns, various berries and leaves of so many colours have been collected by the children and their families. Good talking skills have been evident as the children shared their finds with others and talked about where they had found them. Thank you so much to all those families who have taken the time to talk to their children about the signs of Autumn and have helped them find examples. The children have shown great enthusiasm to look at and talk about our display.
Well Done Derry
Derry’s family is delighted with his recent certificate:
“Derry was so excited to show us his certificate – well done Derry x
Thank you to all the staff, he is really enjoying his time in nursery.”
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a comment. Derry certainly deserved that certificate.
Happy Families
Two of our families have left lovely comments about the children’s performance today. Jasmin’s family said,
“They were all fantastic, well done!”
Brooke’s family enjoyed the performance too:
“Thank you very much for inviting us to watch the children sing, was lovely to come and listen to and watch Brooke do what she loves the best and sing her wee heart and perform. All the children done really well today, they were so confident in standing up in front of a big crowd to sing.”
Thank you for leaving such kind comments. We really appreciate it. We will shortly post a couple of photos of the children ready to perform.
Songs For Our families
We would like to remind you that, as we come towards the end of our learning about Autumn, you can come a little early to collect the children tomorrow, Wednesday 11th October, to hear them singing a few songs that they have been practising.
Please use the Nursery entrance to arrive for 11.40 or 2.45, depending on the session your child attends, if you wish to hear the children singing.
