Well Done, Summer’s Daddy
We hope that the children have enjoyed seeing the photos of their special visitors from Summer’s Daddy’s farm. Imogen’s family were kind enough to leave a lovely comment:
“Imogen loved seeing the animals and was very, very excited. She told us about it in great detail! Well done to Summers dad.”
It certainly was a day to remember.
Summer’s Daddy’s Special Visitors
As we are now beginning to learn about our community and the jobs we might do when we grow up, Summer’s Daddy kindly spent a morning last week with the children in both the Rainbow and the Sunshine Rooms, teaching them about his work on a farm.
However, he didn’t come alone but brought a calf and two lambs which were all less than a week old, as well as the Mummy sheep, which were the best teaching resources possible. The children learned so much about what the animals eat, where they stay and how they are looked after. They learned about animal cake, which they were disappointed to find did not have cherries or chocolate, and smelt silage as well as getting plenty opportunities to stroke the animals.
The children also found out lots about the farm from all the fantastic photos Summer’s Daddy brought and left in Nursery for us. These will be very useful to help us to talk about working on a farm, especially with the helpful captions on the back explaining everything.
We want to say a huge thank-you to Summer’s Daddy for taking time to help us in this way. You provided a wonderful experience for the children which they will remember for a long time.
Bethany’s Dragon Travels to Ireland
Bethany’s family seemed to like her Chinese dragon and commented on her photo:
“Bethany made another Dragon for her Grandparents in Ireland. Her Aunty Sarah was so impressed she used it to inspire her Primary School students in her Afterschool Art Club. So those Dragons certainly have travelled far and near.
A big thankyou to all involved, you’re doing a great job!”
It’s great to hear that Bethany is acting as a Hecklegirth Dragon Ambassador. I wonder if Aunty Sarah’s children’s dragons were as good as yours? Keep up the good work Bethany!
Chef Nathan
Nathan’s Mum liked the photo of him as a chef making our Chinese food:
“Go chef Nathan! Those noodles look yummy!”
He does look the part and he must have made a good job of preparing the Chinese food because lots of children enjoyed it. Before you know it he’ll be making the meals at home.
Snow Photos
Kyle and Madison’s Mums liked our photos in the snow.
Kyle’s Mum: “what a great photo x”
Madison’s Mum: “madison had lots of fun going down the slide, she was doing it at home too x”
Kyle and Madison both look so happy. It’s just as well we managed to capture a few photos because the snow had disappeared by the next morning.
Recent Comments
It’s good to see that you are enjoying our blog at home. We have had two recent comments on our Chinese New Year learning.
Lewis: “I really enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year. I really liked eating my noodles with chopsticks.”
Neve’s Mummy: “Neve has really enjoyed learning all about the Chinese New Year, she has loved coming home showing us her writing of numbers in Chinese. Great topic for the children to learn about. X”
Roxy’s Mum also left her a lovely comment when she was recently awarded a Hecklegirth Star Award:
“Im so proud of my little girl , well done xxx”
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to leave a comment. We really appreciate it.
Super Monster
Jaylin’s Aunty Mandy has been looking at our Hecklegirth Monster photos:
“I love “monster 17″, Jaylin did a great job! xx”
We agree that it is a super monster. Well done Jaylin!
Burn’s Day Comment
We’re glad to hear that Bethany’s Mum likes her Burn’s Day photo. Well done Granny Thomson with the tartan – Bethany looked great.
“What a super photo! Thanks must go to Granny Thomson for sewing the tartan onto Bethany’s top! We really enjoyed the singing and Granny was glad she got to hear it too.”
Photo Comments
The children seem to have enjoyed our learning about Scotland this term and we hope that you’ve had a good flavour of our activities through the blog as well as our displays. Two families have made recent comments on the children’s photos which we’d like to share with you:
“Shay looks great dressed like a piper.”
He did look wonderful and he did so well telling the children in both Nursery rooms all about his outfit. Thank you Shay.
“Great picture of Ollie painting his tartan. He has really enjoyed the Scottish theme over the past few weeks”.
Ollie certainly does seem to have enjoyed this theme. He was particularly good at talking about the different foods and remembering their Scottish names. Well done Ollie.
