Barclay’s family has been looking at the photo of him with his certificate:
“Well done Barclay, mummy and daddy are very proud of you”
We are all proud of him too. Well done Barclay, you thoroughly deserved your certificate. Thank you also to your family for taking the time to leave a comment.
Yvonne and Louise from the Health Improvement Team visited us last week for an informal information and taster session. It was lovely to have so many adults from our families joining the children and staff to learn about healthy snack options and it was great to see children and adults alike trying some foods for the first time. Some of the recipes sound delicious and we plan to try them out in Nursery with the children. The healthy banana ice-cream was particularly popular and we think that a few homes in Annan may be trying that idea out soon.
Thank you to the adults for taking the time to give us some feedback on this visit as it helps us evaluate and plan for the future. Comments included:
“Very informative and colourful”
“Very informative session and lovely to spend time with my child encouraging her to eat healthy. We all love the banana ice-cream and the Sharon fruit. Thank you”.
“Very helpful information, well presented”.
Here are some of the children and adults enjoying the session in the Rainbow Room.
We would like to remind you about our informal information and taster sessions tomorrow for children and families when the Health Improvement team will cover healthy snack options for the family. Handouts/information will be available around nutrition for the early years and you will get the opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have about your child’s diet.
For those who returned the slip, we would like to remind you that Raindrop Room session is at 10.00 and the Rainbow Room will be at 11.00. We look forward to seeing you then.
Tilly’s family enjoyed seeing the photo of her chopping apples in Nursery:
“Aww! Tilly has an apple every night for supper which I chop up for her! Recently she has been putting her new skills to good use and peeling and chopping her own apple (supervised of course!!!!)”
Well done Tilly to use your skills at home too. You are becoming so grown-up and independent. Super skills!
Hi All
Please see attached some information about Hecklegirth Parent Council, I have recently taken over as chairperson for the Parent Council alongside my existing role on the fundraising committee. I am trying to reach as many parents/carers within the school environment as possible to ensure everyone is receiving information. The next meeting will take place at 6pm in the school staffroom on Wednesday 6th November (hope to see you there).
If you need to contact the parent council you can do this via the school office, myself or email hecklegirthparentcouncil@gmail.com please also follow us on Facebook searching for Hecklegirth Primary School News.
If you need to contact for anything relating to fundraising you can do this via the school office, myself or email hecklegirthfundraisers@gmail.com please also follow us on Facebook searching for Hecklegirth Fundraisers.
Information for both is also available on the notice boards as you enter the school through the main door.
Thanks Stacy Wigham
Tilly’s family has been looking at the photos of our visit to the school nature garden:
“Love this! Looks lots of fun in the nature garden, you guys are so lucky to have such a fab outdoor area!”
We are very lucky to have this area to go on little adventures and the children always have great fun there.
STEM stands for science, technologies, engineering and mathematics which are all areas of learning in Nursery. If you take a look at the STEM displays in each room, you can get a taste of all the different activities the children enjoy which are developing their knowledge, understanding, curiosity, creativity and enthusiasm in these areas.
To help you understand how you can support these areas of your child’s learning at home, we have added a link on the right under “Useful Reading: STEM for Parents”. Click on the link for information from Education Scotland and have fun learning with your child.
Tilly’s family has been looking at the photos of the Raindrop Room’s hairdressing salon:
“Tilly absolutely loved the hairdresser’s role play area! Playing hairdressers and make up artists is her favourite thing to do at home! She is very pleased with herself that she can now put her own pony tail in and loves to put as many bobbles as she can in my hair!!!!!”
Well done Tilly – you must have been practising lots to be able to do your own hair. It was certainly a popular area with Tilly and her friends.
