Wellies at the Ready

Can we please remind all morning children that we would like them to bring their wellies to Nursery tomorrow, Thursday 30th May? We have been invited to visit Ollie’s allotment and his Mum tells us that wellies would be best for our visit. We’re looking forward to seeing how Ollie’s vegetables are coming on as ours are now starting to grow.

Madison Enjoyed the Sack Race

We’re glad to hear that Madison and her Mum enjoyed Friday’s fun activities:

“madison loved it today, the cold didnt dampen there spirits. she enjoyed the sack race best, and loved showing everyone her madal, all the kids done brill x”

We agree that the children were brilliant. I wonder which activity other people liked best?

Three Cheers

Three cheers for adults and children alike who braved the cold wind today to join in our Fun Activity session. We thought that we should perhaps have had hot chocolate as a treat instead of ice lollies but hopefully everyone still managed to enjoy themselves. We are sure that, like us, you were all very proud of the children taking part in their activities. They showed fantastic behaviour, evidence of the skills that they had learned and a great team spirit. Thank you to everyone who came to support us today and thank you also to Primary 7 who were so helpful and polite. Most of all we have to say very well done to all the children of Hecklegirth Nursery – you were wonderful and fully deserved those medals.

Planting and Growing

Tomorrow is Thursday so it must be planting and growing day with Eileen and our parent volunteers. Last week two of the groups planted onions and peas to add to the carrots and beetroot. The children are watching those raised beds closely so hopefully some of our vegetables will start to show soon.

Ollie’s Allotment

Further to a recent comment about Ollie’s allotment, his family have sent us a reply telling us what he grows there:

“We grow lots of things at our allotment, potatoes, onions, leeks, onions and lots more. Just let us know when you would like to visit. A Thursday and Friday are good for us.
On another note- it was very exciting to come home from work yesterday and hear all about safety with electric. Ollie totally understood all the reasons for being safe when around electric. Well done nursery staff- great work with little children as usual.”

Ollie’s allotment sounds like a brilliant place to visit especially with us having our own growing project in the Nursery garden. Hopefully we will be able to arrange a visit soon – our diary is at the ready and we will speak to Ollie’s Mum or Dad about it soon.
We’re glad that our learning about safety around electricity has also been successful. The children were very interested in this topic and we hope that this should show in their everyday lives.

Well Done Ollie!

Ollie’s family has left a comment on his photo:

“Ollie was super excited with his certificate this week. He has also been enjoying looking after his courgette whilst growing at home. He would love to show some of the children our allotment when the weather gets a bit better.”

Well done Ollie. You really deserved that certificate with your super knowledge of the body. We like the sound of a visit to your allotment. I wonder what you grow there?

Message from Noah

Noah and his Mummy have left all the morning boys and girls a lovely message:

“Noah really enjoyed his morning with the nursery children. All the children were very gentle and kind and really made him smile! We are glad we could help you learn a bit more about looking after babies!”

Well done everyone. You must have made Noah and his Mummy feel very welcome in Nursery.

Madison the Gardener

It sounds like Madison is turning into quite a little gardener. Her Mummy left a comment about the photo with her courgette plant saying,

“maddy had fun looking after this, and took great care of it, we hope the strawberries we have planted at home will grow just as well.x”

Well done Madison – we were very impressed with your courgette plant. Fingers crossed for the strawberries!

Look Who Came to Visit

Two lovely little visitors came to Nursery last week to help us learn how to look after a baby and talk about how we had changed since we were babies. Bethany and her Mummy brought in her little brother Noah and Dawid and his Mummy introduced us to his little brother Mason. Both babies seemed happy to help us and Bethany and Dawid also showed themselves to be a brilliant big sister and brother. They were very good at keeping us right when we thought that babies can eat pizza and go to the toilet. Thank you to Noah and Mason (and their mummies of course) for being such wonderful little visitors who helped us to learn lots.
