Please remember that tomorrow (Friday) sees our first Family Learning event of the year. Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, has organised “Time For Rhyme” sessions for you and your child to decorate rhyme bags and make some rhyme ‘props’. These sessions are 9-10 or 10.45-11.45 and 12.15-1.15 or 2-3 in the Family Room across from the school hall. We hope that you all have fun.

Outdoor Fun
We’re pleased to see that it’s not only parents but grandparents too who enjoy seeing what the children do in Nursery:
“It’s great to see my wee granddaughter Grace having outdoor fun with her friends x”
Thanks for leaving us a comment. So many children in Nursery just love outdoor play.
Digging Is Fun
Peter and his Mum have been looking at our photos in the Nursery garden:
“Peter’s digging up the road with his big digger.”
He certainly did a bit of digging that day. It was hard work but good fun. Thank you for your comment.
Brilliant Fun
Kenzie’s Mum and Dad have been enjoying the photos of the first few days in Nursery:
“Kenzie loves dressing up, looks shy in this photo, don’t be fooled. Only been first full day, loves Nursery already, brilliant 
“
“Kenzie really enjoying all the different activities, especially going outside. Having brilliant fun, and loves all her teachers.”
We hope that Kenzie continues to be happy in Nursery.
Learning Journey
Two of our families have been enjoying our recent photos of the children busy in their play:
“Owen having great fun counting the animals, he has settled in really well and can’t wait for the following day to get to Nursery! Great….”
“Thank you for making Dylan feel so welcome and for helping him to settle in so well.. He has thoroughly enjoyed his first few days at nursery and has been so full of enthusiasm when he has been talking about what he has been doing. I have no doubt thatt Dylan is going to be so happy and have fun enjoying his learning journey at Hecklegirth nursery “
Thank you for contributing to our blog with such positive comments. It’s great to hear that you feel that your children are happy and settled – it’s what we all want.
Time For Rhyme
We would like to draw your attention to our first Family Learning event of the year on Friday 4th September. Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, is planning “Time For Rhyme” sessions for you and your child to decorate rhyme bags and make some rhyme ‘props’.
A letter will be in your child’s tray in Nursery this week explaining Family Learning to everyone and you can sign up for the sessions, if you wish, on the grids on display on the Family Learning board in the Nursery corridor. We hope that lots of families take the opportunity to join in this fun activity.
Dylan’s First Day
Dylan’s Mum has left us a lovely message:
“Dylan really enjoyed his first day yesterday and is looking forward to coming back today xx”
Thank you very much for taking the time to post a comment – we are delighted that Dylan enjoyed his first day. We would love it if lots of our families visited our blog to let us know what they think about Nursery.
Happy Reading
We hope that you are all enjoying your summer holiday with your families and that some of you are taking part in our Family Learning Reading Challenge. Lots of the suggestions look like great fun. I wonder if anyone’s read under a table or to their pet yet? Sitting on the grass or on a rug to read also sounds like a lovely challenge for sunny days. Remember to fill in the challenge sheet and return it to Nursery or your Primary 1 teacher by Friday 28th August to enter the prize draw to win a book token. Happy reading everyone!
Award Winner
Sophie’s family is delighted to see her photo with the award she received for being a super team worker:
“sophie was chuffed to bits to win this award we are all very proud of her we have her photo blown up and put onto the wall, she will miss all her nursery teachers very much but is really looking forward to starting p1”
Well done Sophie – you really deserved this award. We will miss all those moving to Primary 1 too but hope that we will see you at some point in the future.
Graduation Day Take Two
Just as in the morning, the afternoon children showed themselves to be confident individuals at their graduation ceremony on Tuesday and we loved the happy smiles on everybody’s face. We would like to thank Mr. Palmer for presenting the children with their certificates and for taking the time to ensure that every family was able to get a photo of their child on stage. Thank you also to all the family and friends who formed a great audience – we really appreciate your support.
