For those who have signed up for it, we would like to remind you that tomorrow, Friday 14th December, is our “Christmas Stay And Bake” day. Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, has been shopping and the ingredients are ready for you to have a go at a little Christmas baking. We look forward to some delicious smells coming our way.

Christmas Party
A fun time was had by all at our Christmas parties with something for everyone, be it games, dancing or party food. The children looked wonderful in their party outfits and even Stan the Star made an appearance dressed in some festive tinsel. Everyone was delighted to have a visit from Santa, despite it being such a busy time of year for him. Thank you Santa – we all really appreciated your visit.
The photos below give you a taste of our morning party and photos of the afternoon party will follow soon.
Award Winners
Very well done to these recent award winners. We hope that you are proud of your certificates and showed them to everyone in your family.
Caring For Our Environment
Come wind, rain or shine we have to care for our garden and these helpful little gardeners did a great job recently weeding our plant box. They showed good listening skills to carry out instructions and, as well as pulling all the weeds out, they tidied everything into the bin afterwards, leaving us with a weed free and tidy box. What super “responsible citizens” and “effective contributors” they are which are two of the aspirations we have for all children in Scotland
Celebration
As part of our celebration of Hecklegirth’s Gold Sports Award, some of our children enjoyed taking part in a 10 Station Fitness Challenge in the playground on Monday with Primary 1. As you can see, a wide range of activities were on offer and everyone had fun having a go at lots of different experiences. Thanks go to all those who helped the children to have a great afternoon.
Thank You
Thank you so much to those who have kindly donated to our local charity, Kate’s Kitchen. Bars of soap, hot water bottles, gloves, hats and socks would all be gratefully received to distribute in our local community. Final date to donate to this worthy cause is 14th December. Thank you very much for your kind generosity if you have already given donations.
Ten Station Fitness Challenge
To celebrate Hecklegirth’s achievement, the school will be presented with a Gold Sports Award by a representative of Sport Scotland tomorrow, Monday 3rd December. The whole school will then be having an afternoon of fun sports activities to celebrate our achievement.
As part of this, afternoon Nursery children will take part in a Ten Station Fitness Challenge in the playground with Primary 1. We would ask that children come with warm clothes and coats as we will all be going outdoors to take part. Let’s hope that the rain stays away to help us have a fun time with Primary 1.
Huge Congratulations
Huge congratulations to the three award winners from last week. You certainly deserved those certificates.
Rhyme And Story Time
Tomorrow is Tuesday so it must be time for our Rhyme and Story Family Learning session again. Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, has been enjoying working with some of our families and would be happy to have more join her at 9.00 or 12.15 each Tuesday. Here is a little snapshot of the activities they enjoyed the last time they met.
