More of our families have been enjoying our gallery of Hecklegirth monsters.
“Kacey had fun making her monster, she said she was going to call him Robbie after Robbie Burns!” Good name choice Kacey.
“All the Hecklegirth Monsters are brilliant. Great work by everyone. I especially like Sparkle she is lovely.”
We love your monster too Orla and agree that all the monsters are super. Thanks to all those families who helped their children make the monsters at home.
Two of our families have enjoyed looking at some of the Hecklegirth monsters that were made at home.
“Callum really enjoyed making his own version of the Hecklegirth monster. We loved looking at the pictures of all the different monsters. Well done everyone.”
“Sophie had a fantastic time making this monster its the prettiest monster I have ever seen.”
It’s nice to hear that Callum and Sophie both had fun making their own monsters. We loved that there were so many different ideas of what the monster should look like.
We would like to share some of the Hecklegirth monsters that the children recently designed and made at home with their families. Inspired by our discussions of the Loch Ness Monster they have produced some wonderful models and drawings of their own. I wonder what the Loch Ness Monster would think of them?
We would like to remind you that the Family Breakfast event will be held tomorrow, 5th February, for the children and their families from the Sunshine Room. If you returned the slip to say that you plan to attend, this will be in the school dinner hall at 9.00 for morning children and 2.30 for those in the afternoon. Rainbow Room children and their families will take part on Friday, 6th February, at the same times. We look forward to seeing you all then.
Several parents have been enjoying our posts about Burns and learning about Scotland.
Lewis’ Mum said, “What a lovely photo!! All looking very smart in their tartan! I was so sorry that I couldn’t manage to attend the Burns Day event, but was over the moon that Lewis’ Dad recorded it for me! All the children sang beautifully and I was very proud of Lewis!”
Savannah’s Mum was pleased with the photo of her on the day of our Burns celebration: “Lovely pic xx”
We also had a comment from Summer’s Mum who said, “Summer is loving her time at Nursery and the topic just now about Scotland!”
The children certainly seemed to have responded well to learning about Scotland and they did us proud on the day of our Burns celebration.
We have some lovely comments in response to the post showing our most recent certificate winners:
“Well done Joe !!”
“Hi JOE

Love Great Auntie Sue xx”
“Well done to all It was so nice that Zuzana has recived certificate in last week. She was realy happy. We are so proud of her. Thank you so much to all teachers for great work.”
It sounds that, like us, your families are very proud of you. Keep up the good work.
Joe W’s Mum has been having a look at the photos from our Burns celebration:
“Wow everyone it’s looks like Burns was great fun !!!”
It was good fun and the children looked great in their tartan.
As promised, we wanted to share some photos from our afternoon Burns celebration. As you can see, the children looked great wearing tartan and most were keen to sample the shortbread, oatcakes, cheese and Irn Bru. Despite low numbers on Monday afternoon, most of the children showed themselves to be confident performers and families and friends looked suitably proud of their performance. Well done boys and girls!

Sophie’s Mum enjoyed the children’s performance for Burns Day:
“The children all sang really well today. It also looks like they enjoyed sampling some Scottish treats.”
Kacey’s family also left us a comment about our learning about Burns:
“Kacey has been talking about rabbie burns and singing the songs she learned at nursery at home.”
Thank you for taking time to leave us a comment. The children have responded well to learning about Scotland and we thought they did well to learn their songs in such a short space of time.
Today we celebrated Burns Day with shortbread, oatcakes and cheese and, of course, Irn Bru. We appreciate everyone making a super effort to provide the children with ‘a touch o’ tartan’ as it added to the occasion. Thank you also to all the family and friends who came to hear the children sing their Scottish songs. It’s so important for them to have an appreciative audience and you certainly helped to make it a memorable occasion for them. Here you can see some of the morning children enjoying their celebration. Afternoon photos will follow soon.
