We would like to remind everyone that we will be holding a small Burns celebration in Nursery tomorrow, 26th January. It would add to the occasion if the children could wear a little ‘touch o’ tartan’ if possible to help us to celebrate in style but the main thing is simply to come and enjoy the day.
The children have done well this week learning their Scottish songs and are looking forward to performing them tomorrow to their families at the end of the Nursery sessions (11.45 and 2.50).

Happy Start
Finlay’s Mum’s been looking at the recent photos of our new children who started last week:
“Finlay is loving nursery. Every day he is so excited to go and comes home loving his morning at nursery. He seems to have settled in so well.”
We are glad that Finlay has made such a happy start to Nursery life and hope that he continues to enjoy all the activities.
Having Fun
Two of our families have been enjoying the photos of Christmas time and the start of the new term:
“Lewis really enjoyed all the Christmas festivities at nursery – thank you!”
We did have a lovely few weeks in the run-up to Christmas – it’s nice to hear that Lewis enjoyed everything.
Jayden has appeared on the blog for the first time and his family enjoyed seeing him busy in Nursery:
“Jayden looks like he is really enjoying nursery! I bet hes ordering a Chinese he was really excited to see his picture from nursery on here x”
Hopefully you will see yourself on the blog again Jayden. I wonder what you were ordering from the Chinese?
Happy Start
It’s great to see that some of our new families have been looking at the blog, enjoying our photos of the first few days of their first term:
“On the computer as usual! He loves his new nursery!!:-)”
We’re glad that he’s happy and settled. It’s amazing how quickly the children settle in to Nursery life.
Happy Christmas Jumper Day
Callum’s family has been looking at the Christmas Jumper Day photos:
“Lovely photo of Callum Sophie and Faye. Happy Christmas jumper day”.
The children look so happy in these photos. We think they were starting to realise that Christmas is getting close.
Christmas Celebration
We have some photos of the children as they prepared for our Christmas celebration with their families. We hope that, like us, you were very proud of them all as they behaved and sang so beautifully in front of a big audience. Thank you so much to Rev. McGougan for joining us and to the many family members who helped to make this a special occasion for the children.

Christmas Celebration
We hope that you are all looking forward to our Christmas celebration later this week. Afternoon parents can join us on Wednesday (17.12.14) at 2.30 and morning parents on Thursday (18.12.14) at 11.30. The Nursery door will be opened for entry through the usual entrance and parents/carers 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. Rev. McGougan has kindly agreed to join us again, despite a jam-packed diary, 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 are practising to make sure you enjoy their songs. We look forward to seeing you later this week.
Family Learning
Kacey’s Mum commented on the Family Learning photos:
“Kacey had great fun making things at the family time, my favourite was the reindeer sandwich.”
I thought the reindeer sandwich was lovely too – almost too cute to eat.
Reindeer Sandwiches
Thanks must go again to Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, for providing super Christmas activities for children and their families to enjoy together. There were reindeer sandwiches, Christmas cards and decorations on the go in the Family Room and they all looked like good fun. It’s lovely to see so many families participating, despite everyone being so busy at this time of year, and we really appreciate Eileen offering so many sessions. Even Steve the Star from the Sunshine Room made an appearance and seemed to be very interested in everything. We are already discussing the next Family Learning activity so watch this space early next term.

Starting School
As we now have the school enrolment dates in January, parents of those who are moving on to Primary 1 in August 2015 are warmly invited to attend our information sessions on Tuesday 16th December. Come along to the school library to find out more about our school from Mrs. Alexander, our Headteacher, and Miss Campbell, Primary 1 and Acting Principal Teacher. We look forward to seeing you there to give you an insight into life at Hecklegirth Primary.
