Busy Times

Joshua and Nancy’s family has been enjoying the photos of the Big Pedal Fun Day and the seed planting and have left us some lovely comments.

“Joshua & Nancy look like they are raring to go. They loved being in the playground on the bikes 😁.”

“Wow Nancy looks like she was concentrating very hard when planting her sunflower seeds. Clever girl, well done 😊.”

“Well done Joshua on concentrating very well planting your sunflower seeds. Your getting very good at planting & flowers 😊.”

It has certainly been a busy time in Nursery lately but the children never seem to be short of enthusiasm for all our activities.

As the weather seems to be getting a little warmer, we ask that you please remember to send your child to Nursery wearing sun cream. We also suggest that they wear older clothes, if they tend to be children who enjoy the fun and mud of the great outdoors, as it can be too warm to wear the outdoor suits that they wear for most of the year. Clothes can get a little worse for wear once some children get into action in the mud kitchen so it would be helpful if they came dressed ready for outdoor play.

Visits To Primary 1

The children who will soon be making the transition to Primary 1 at Hecklegirth have had two recent visits to the P1 classroom to get a taste of school life. As you can see, they settled in well and were confident to try out a range of activities. Thank you to Miss Campbell for making the Nursery children feel so welcome. They are looking forward to their next visit.

Biking To School

Emilia’s family has been looking at the photos of Big Pedal Fun Day:

“Emilia really enjoyed the bike session and loves taking her bike to school.”

We are glad that you enjoyed the different activities Emilia. You have certainly been keeping up with the idea of cycling to school and always arrive with a lovely smile on your face. Keep up the good work.

Growing Plants

Jasmin’s family has been looking at the photos of the children planting their sunflower seeds:

“Jasmin was thrilled to have planted her own flower and is continuing to look after it and watch it grow at home.”

Fingers crossed that it keeps growing Jasmin and then you will be able to plant it in your garden

Playground Visits

As those moving to Primary 1 at Hecklegirth in August have now met their individual Primary 6 buddies, we have put a timetable in place for the children to visit the school playground. The buddies will go with our children on these visits to encourage and support them initially in the empty playground and then when the rest of the school is out.
We have already had the first of our visits and Primary 6 showed impressive skills and attitude to ensure that our children had great fun and felt confident in the wider school environment. Thank you Primary 6 for doing such a super job. All the children came back to Nursery from the playground happy and confident. They are looking forward to another visit this week.

Award Winners

Very well done to our award winners from last week. Keep up the good work!

Caring For Our Plants

Amazingly some of the sunflower seeds that we planted have already started to grow so the children are beginning to bring them home where they will be able to care for them. We are checking our little seeds daily and each one will be sent home once they have sprouted so, if you do not have yours yet, hopefully it will not be too long until they are ready for the big move. We are looking forward to hearing about their progress over the next few weeks and months.

Big Pedal Fun

Just like the morning children, those in the afternoon participated enthusiastically in all the super activities organised for Big Pedal Fun Day. Here is a selection of the children in action on their bikes and scooters.

Big Pedal Fun Day

Friday was Big Pedal Fun Day for everyone at Hecklegirth as the children brought bikes and scooters to participate in great fun activities in the school playground under the guidance of some super volunteers. Despite the chilly weather, the children showed great confidence and enthusiasm to try out the challenges set for them. Thank you to everyone who helped to organise this event and gave up their own time. The children had super fun and experienced a great way to keep fit and healthy.
Here are the morning children in action. Photos of the afternoon children will follow in the next day or two.
