Last week Harli did very well and received a Star Award from Miss Wilson. Her family left a lovely message for her:
“Mummy and Daddy are very proud of Harli for getting her certificate and being caring towards others!”
Well done Harli! You deserved that certificate.
Well done to this week’s Star Award winners. They have all shown themselves to be kind and caring pupils who are good at helping others and sharing. Don’t they look proud with their certificates?
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.
With Valentine’s Day on the calendar recently, we have been talking about who we love and how we show that we love someone. As a home activity, the children drew someone they love and told us why they love them. As you can see from the comments below, we had some lovely ideas. All the children’s work is displayed in the corridor. Please take the time to have a look at them all as they will put a smile on your faces.
Jacquie: I love Mummy, Daddy, Arran, Carly and Granny. I love Daddy, Mummy and Granny because they give me cuddles. Arran plays crocodiles. Carly plays with me.
Shay: I love Grandad because he teaches me lots of good things, takes me on a train to special places and is very good to me.
Evie: I love flowers because they have lovely petals. I love Mummy and Leah and Ericka.
Tyler: I love Daddy, Mummy, Cody and Diesel and Nathan. Mummy plays games. Daddy takes me to the park. Cody and Diesel play on the field. Nathan is my cousin and best friend.

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.
This week’s Hecklegirth Star Awards went to Hannah, Summer and Roxy. All these girls showed a good understanding of what is safe and unsafe to put in our mouths. We talked about who can give medicines and what would happen if we ate something that was unsafe. Well done girls for listening well and giving us all some good ideas in our discussion. We hope that you are proud of your certificates.
Well done to last week’s Star Award winner in Nursery for giving good answers when we were discussing healthy foods and why some foods should just be for treats. Here he is getting his certificate from Miss Wilson.
We like Finlay’s Mum’s comment on the photo of him tasting the cake mixture:
“Finlay was making sure the cakes are going to taste good.Yummy!”
We are also excited to hear about Ollie’s plans for baking tonight:
“Ollie is baking shortbread tonight for all the lucky nursery teachers. He had so much fun this term at nursery,especially in the run up to Christmas. If his shortbread doesn’t work out then we have a box of sweeties on standby.
Thanks again. X”
Thank you Ollie for such a lovely thought. We’ll look forward to tasting your shortbread tomorrow. Have lots of fun making it!
Tomorrow is party day in Nursery so the children have been busy making all the necessary preparations. They decided that they would like cakes, Angel Delight and jelly at the party so today has been spent making them.
As you can see, some of the children have had a great time in the kitchen, learning lots of different skills and the fridges are now full, ready for tomorrow. We hope that everyone has a great time.
