Madison Enjoyed the Sack Race

We’re glad to hear that Madison and her Mum enjoyed Friday’s fun activities:

“madison loved it today, the cold didnt dampen there spirits. she enjoyed the sack race best, and loved showing everyone her madal, all the kids done brill x”

We agree that the children were brilliant. I wonder which activity other people liked best?

Three Cheers

Three cheers for adults and children alike who braved the cold wind today to join in our Fun Activity session. We thought that we should perhaps have had hot chocolate as a treat instead of ice lollies but hopefully everyone still managed to enjoy themselves. We are sure that, like us, you were all very proud of the children taking part in their activities. They showed fantastic behaviour, evidence of the skills that they had learned and a great team spirit. Thank you to everyone who came to support us today and thank you also to Primary 7 who were so helpful and polite. Most of all we have to say very well done to all the children of Hecklegirth Nursery – you were wonderful and fully deserved those medals.

Running, Jumping and Balancing

Running, jumping and balancing are some of the skills we have been practising for our Fun Activity session on Friday. The children have enjoyed working together in teams to take part in a range of activities on the school field. We hope that lots of families will be able to encourage the children on Friday when they show you what they can do. Let’s just all hope that the weather is kind to us.

We Love Sparky

Everyone loved Sparky, who helped us learn about staying safe near electricity, and Corey’s Mum’s left a comment on his photo:

“Corey keeps saying at home he want to play puppets an now I know why lol Corey’s looks so excited”

The children certainly were very excited to meet him. Thank you Sparky for a brilliant visit.

Planting and Growing

Tomorrow is Thursday so it must be planting and growing day with Eileen and our parent volunteers. Last week two of the groups planted onions and peas to add to the carrots and beetroot. The children are watching those raised beds closely so hopefully some of our vegetables will start to show soon.

Ollie’s Allotment

Further to a recent comment about Ollie’s allotment, his family have sent us a reply telling us what he grows there:

“We grow lots of things at our allotment, potatoes, onions, leeks, onions and lots more. Just let us know when you would like to visit. A Thursday and Friday are good for us.
On another note- it was very exciting to come home from work yesterday and hear all about safety with electric. Ollie totally understood all the reasons for being safe when around electric. Well done nursery staff- great work with little children as usual.”

Ollie’s allotment sounds like a brilliant place to visit especially with us having our own growing project in the Nursery garden. Hopefully we will be able to arrange a visit soon – our diary is at the ready and we will speak to Ollie’s Mum or Dad about it soon.
We’re glad that our learning about safety around electricity has also been successful. The children were very interested in this topic and we hope that this should show in their everyday lives.

Thank You

Thank you to Bethany’s grandparents for their lovely comment on Noah’s visit to Nursery:

“Great to keep up the contact and see a school that encourages partnership with the local community. Everyone was smiling and having fun in a real world learning context. Thank-you for all your hard work and effort that is noticed, and makes Hecklegirth a welcoming place to visit.”

It’s certainly true that we do have fun in our learning and all family members are very welcome to come and join in our play if they would like. Thank you for taking the time to visit our blog from afar and for leaving such a kind comment.

Well Done Ollie!

Ollie’s family has left a comment on his photo:

“Ollie was super excited with his certificate this week. He has also been enjoying looking after his courgette whilst growing at home. He would love to show some of the children our allotment when the weather gets a bit better.”

Well done Ollie. You really deserved that certificate with your super knowledge of the body. We like the sound of a visit to your allotment. I wonder what you grow there?

Message from Noah

Noah and his Mummy have left all the morning boys and girls a lovely message:

“Noah really enjoyed his morning with the nursery children. All the children were very gentle and kind and really made him smile! We are glad we could help you learn a bit more about looking after babies!”

Well done everyone. You must have made Noah and his Mummy feel very welcome in Nursery.

Madison the Gardener

It sounds like Madison is turning into quite a little gardener. Her Mummy left a comment about the photo with her courgette plant saying,

“maddy had fun looking after this, and took great care of it, we hope the strawberries we have planted at home will grow just as well.x”

Well done Madison – we were very impressed with your courgette plant. Fingers crossed for the strawberries!
