We are delighted to be able to pass on a message from one friend to another:
“Hi Alfie. I’m so happy to read your comment. I miss you too very much and all other friends. I hope everyone is well and safe.
Niks.”
Let’s hope that these two friends can see each other again soon.
Here are some cool scientists trying out an experiment at home. This looks like great fun! Apologies to our little scientists that your video ends up on the side. We can’t seem to change this but this think that everyone will enjoy seeing your super science.
We have had a super update from one of our families about what they have been doing while we are closed.
“V is been busy with her sister playing , learn do some art crafts she makes vase for the flowers with a can because she loves flowers, yesterday I talk about the super heroes and she doesn’t really no very well what’s a hero so I explained and she said he all can be heroes because he all can help each other. Here some photos show what we have doing. We hope you are all ok, and see you soon”
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely photos and for giving us news of what you have all been doing at home. It looks like you’re having a wonderful time. How thoughtful to say that we can all be superheroes by helping each other. It is great to hear from you and we hope that we see you soon too.
We would like to remind you that today, Friday 1st May, is the last day to enter Mr. Palmer’s Bike Art competition. The challenge, if you want to take part, is to create your own ‘Bike Art’. You can use any materials from your home (ask a parent/carer to help you) to design your own special bike.
Please send your competition entry in as a picture to the school office on gw08officehecklegirt@ea.dumgal.sch.uk or email Mr. Palmer on gw08palmerchris@ea.dumgal.sch.uk by Friday 1st May.
We are looking forward to seeing all your finished entries. There will be a winner and runner up prize for Nursery-P1, P2-P4 and P5-7.
It’s lovely to hear from our families and to get photos of what you have been doing at home. We would like to share this photo of one of our pupils enjoying time outdoors. It looks like he’s having great fun!
Please send any photos you would like to share to the school e-mail address
gw08officehecklegirt@ea.dumgal.sch.uk
You could add a sentence or two just to tell us what you have been doing and let us know if you would like us to name your child in our post. We look forward to hearing from you.
In a post yesterday it was mentioned that one of our families plans to care for tadpoles in the next few weeks. You may be interested to see this bowl of tadpoles which Isaac W is caring for as part of his little tadpole project at home. We hope that you send us a photo of their development in the future so that we can all see how they are progressing.
We would like to share this lovely gallery from one of our children, showing what she has been doing at home while Nursery is closed. We think that you will be amazed at how busy she has been.
She has been doing a lot of biking…4 miles a day to be precise! She is very fast, in fact can beat her mummy!!!
The family has been keeping busy in the garden, doing crafts, creating a fairy garden, redesigning her play house, planting plants, creating potions, weeding and painting lots of stones from the shore!
They created an Easter window display for a competition at her big sister’s school, it kept them busy for days!
They have been baking and decorating lots of cupcakes then enjoying eating them and sharing them with their elderly neighbours who they have been checking in on! With some help from her big sister she even made her mummy and daddy dinner one night! The family also made ice cream sundaes as a treat!
As always this little girl has been doing lots of role play with her sister! Midwives, teachers, princesses, hair dressers and they even set up a Spa and a Cinema to watch the new Trolls movie!
She loved watching the clip of Mrs Maxwell reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar which is her favourite bedtime story so she created a picture of the ‘fat caterpillar’ for her.
Their next project is growing butterflies and caring for tadpoles! Let’s hope they are as successful as last year!!
What a super time you have been having, creating wonderful memories together. We look forward to hearing about the butterflies and tadpoles once they start growing.
Thank you so much for sending us your photos and lots of news about what you have been doing with your family. We love to hear from everyone. Keep having fun and learning together.
Sophie E’s family enjoyed Mrs. Irving’s accordion video:
“Sophie loved watching this she’s very impressed! She’s missing nursery so much. We have been enjoying the good weather and going on lots of adventures. We have even grown some caterpillars into butterflies and set them free, its amazing to watch.”
We are impressed too Sophie. I think we will have to have Mrs. Irving bring her accordion in to Nursery for a live performance once we are back. Well done for looking after your caterpillars until they turned into butterflies. No doubt they will be happy enjoying the lovely sunshine too.
Thank you for getting in touch. It’s lovely to hear from you and we are missing everyone too.
One of our families has kindly shared these photos to let us know what they have been doing recently while Nursery is closed. Bird watching was the activity of the day for them on Monday. They have a new bird box in their garden and made their own binoculars, to keep an eye out for any visiting birds, followed by a three and a half mile bike ride.
Thank you so much for sharing your photos. It looks like you are having a great time and keeping fit too. Fingers crossed that some little birds start visiting your garden.
One of the children’s favourite stories in Nursery is “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” and if you click on the link below you can see the author Michael Rosen reading the story which we feel sure the children will thoroughly enjoy. Ask if they can remember the special word for the person who writes a story as we have talked a lot about the term ‘author’ as well as ‘title’ and ‘illustrator.
This is such a brilliant book to read over and over again and Michael Rosen’s voice and facial expressions are brilliant. The repetition helps children to recall the story and retell it themselves. See if they can join in with the story and actions as many of them love to do this in Nursery.
Ask them what they think happened to the bear and how they think he was feeling at the end of the story. Who does he live with or does he live alone? What will he eat for his tea? Maybe they could make a cave for their own teddy bear using an old cereal box or using material, such as towels, under a chair or a table?
