There is no doubt that this has been a very unusual end to our year in Nursery and it has been disappointing that we have not been able to see all the children before their holiday.
However, we would like to share our video again of those who are moving to Primary 1 in August and wish all our children and their families a lovely summer holiday with lots of sunshine, fun and laughter. We hope that you all stay safe and happy. Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with us.
Isaac W’s family has been looking at the photo of him with his certificate:
“Thank you Hecklegirth Nursery this is a precious keepsake I really did not want to miss. Isaac was chuffed with his visit from Mrs Irving. Isaac is going to miss his fun days at nursery. XxXxx”
It is sad that the children were not able to have their graduation but nice to hear that Isaac will still treasure his certificate. We are glad you had fun days in Nursery Isaac. Have a great holiday.
We have messages to share from some of the Nursery staff who have been looking at the certificate photos.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick said,
“Aw this is delightful seeing the happy faces, well done everyone and good luck in P1. Mrs Kirkpatrick xxx”
She also wanted to pass on her congratulations to the bike art prize winners,
“Well done Freya and Jasmine x”
Mrs. Maxwell also left a message,
“Good luck to all the boys and girls going to p.1. It was lovely being able to visit some of you x”
Miss Fleming too wants to send you her best wishes,
“It is lovely to see all those smiling faces. Congratulations everyone on your Nursery Graduation. You will all be missed in Nursery. The very best of luck in Primary 1. You will all do amazing! ⭐”
We will certainly miss them all and send them our very best wishes.
As mentioned previously, it with sadness that we have not been able to have a graduation ceremony this year but we hope that many of you have enjoyed our video in a previous post, showing all the children who will be leaving our Nursery.
Key workers were also delighted to visit our children this week to deliver their certificates and a little shell memento to decorate and keep as reminder of this year. Fortunately they managed to capture lots of their happy faces which we would like to share here.
Isaac’s family has been looking at the graduation video:
“Wow. Excellent video had me smiling and crying all at the same time. We had wonderful visits from Mrs Irving and Mrs Kirkpatrick yesterday which was a lovely surprise. Isaac has had so much fun, made friends and grown in so many ways at nursery. It’s been a pleasure to watch him turn into the little person he is becoming today. HUGE thank you to all in the raindrop room keep up the excellent work Hecklegirth Nursery. Xxx”
Thank you so much for such very kind comments. We all appreciate them enormously. We have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know all the children and their families too. Thank you,
After her visit yesterday from Mrs. Stott and Miss McVicar, Sophie asked if we could share this photo and video. Her family said,
“She’s so excited after visit from Mrs Stott and Miss Mcvicar! It’s really helped her look forward to starting p 1 as she was quite worried about it so it really was wonderful to see them. Thank you!”
Thank you so much Sophie for thinking of sending us your video and photo. We are delighted to hear that you are excited about Primary 1 and know that you will have a great time there.
Sophie G’s family enjoyed our graduation video (see below) for those moving to Primary 1:
“Ohhhh what a gorgeous video! Sophie has absolutely loved her time at nursery because of all the wonderful things you do there and seeing everyone having so much fun just made mummy cry 😭. What a sweet surprise to get a visit from Mrs Stott and Mrs Mcvicar too – Sophie is delighted with her shell and certificate. Happy nursery days and Max has it all to come- thank you! Xx”
We are delighted that you enjoyed it and we have to admit that a few of us shed a little tear when we watched it. Thank you so much for your very kind comments.
As we approach the end of our year in Nursery, it is disappointing that we will be unable to hold our graduation ceremony, due to the current situation. For children, parents and staff this is a great miss as we would have liked to mark the transition of our eldest children to Primary 1.
As a record of the time you have spent in Hecklegirth Nursery, we would like to share this video which includes all those moving to Primary 1 in various schools. We wish you and your families good health and lots of happiness in the future and know that you will all have great fun in Primary 1. “Reach for the Stars” all of you!
Mrs. Stott has been looking at the photos of our graduation yesterday:
“Fantastic singing from all the children this morning! Amazing confidence shown in front of a very large audience.”
We were certainly very proud of all our children as no doubt were their families. You were all little stars!
We were all so proud of the children at our graduation ceremony today as they sang and danced to celebrate their year in Nursery. They showed great confidence to perform to their families and those walking on stage on their own to shake hands and receive their certificates looked so grown-up and ready for their move to Primary 1.
Thank you to Mr. Palmer for taking time to present the children with their certificates and for being so patient to pose with each child so that a precious family photo could be taken. Thank you also to all the family and friends who attended our little ceremony and for your wonderful support throughout the year. We hope that you have enjoyed the year as much as we have.
