As promised, we have lots of photos of the afternoon children enjoying their recent visit to Dino Park. Digging for dinosaur bones, the enchanted fairy forest, bouncy castle, the story of the “stinkosaurus” and many other super activities certainly kept everyone amused. Hopefully you can see by the lovely smiles that a great time was had by all. Thank you again to those parents who gave up their time to help us – it was very kind of you.
Cerys, a Primary 6 buddy, has been looking at our photos and she was pleased to see that Conan had recently been awarded a certificate:
“well done . I like spending time with connan”
She’s enjoying their daily walk too:
“i like doing the daily km with connan every day”
Thank you Cerys for taking the time to comment. You are doing a great job as a buddy.
Children about to move to Primary 1 at Hecklegirth have been developing their fitness with their Primary 6 buddies over the last few weeks. Initially they began by walking round the school field once and, as they have progressed, many are now able to walk three times round the field which Primary 6 measured to be a kilometre. Everyone taking part has improved the distance they have been able to cover so well done to all of you.
The summer sunshine has been encouraging the children to spend lots of time outdoors lately and, as you can see, some have been taking a break from their play to have an extra drink. We would like to remind everyone to please ensure that the children have sun cream on when they come to Nursery at this time of year. Let’s hope that we have lots more sunny days for the rest of the term.
Dylan’s family is delighted with his recent award:
“We’re so proud of Dylan this year, he’s come on leaps and bounds. Well done Dylan!”
You have done so well Dylan. It’s at this time of year that we often reflect on the progress that all our children have made in the past year as some prepare to move to Primary 1 and we are very proud of them all.
Callum’s family enjoyed the photos of the children planting flowers:
“Callum has told us about the flower planting. He loves helping his grandad in his garden.”
You did a good job Callum. You must have learned lots from Grandad.
Mollie’s Mum enjoyed the photos of the children planting flowers:
“What a lovely idea to plant flowers! Mollie loves growing things, we are growing our own veg at our allotment! Thank you Mrs Alexander for the flower pots. The flowers look great!”
Mollie certainly seemed to know how to plant flowers and the children were pleased with the results of their work. They are keen to look after them too so hopefully they should look lovely all summer.
As well as planting sunflowers to take home, we have been planting in the Nursery garden to brighten it up. Mrs. Alexander kindly gave us four flower pots which inspired us to add to the display in our raised bed. The afternoon children were enthusiastic to join in and help and, as you can see, they made a good job of preparing the soil then choosing which plants they wanted where. Have a look in the garden to see what you think of their hard work.
Finlay T’s family was pleased to see his photo with his recent certificate:
“Finlay was so happy with his certificate he couldn’t wait to show it off to all his family . Well done Finlay.”
We’re glad that you showed it to all your family Finlay – you really earned that and should be proud of yourself.
