We hope that the children have enjoyed seeing the photos of their special visitors from Summer’s Daddy’s farm. Imogen’s family were kind enough to leave a lovely comment:
“Imogen loved seeing the animals and was very, very excited. She told us about it in great detail! Well done to Summers dad.”
It certainly was a day to remember.
As we are now beginning to learn about our community and the jobs we might do when we grow up, Summer’s Daddy kindly spent a morning last week with the children in both the Rainbow and the Sunshine Rooms, teaching them about his work on a farm.
However, he didn’t come alone but brought a calf and two lambs which were all less than a week old, as well as the Mummy sheep, which were the best teaching resources possible. The children learned so much about what the animals eat, where they stay and how they are looked after. They learned about animal cake, which they were disappointed to find did not have cherries or chocolate, and smelt silage as well as getting plenty opportunities to stroke the animals.
The children also found out lots about the farm from all the fantastic photos Summer’s Daddy brought and left in Nursery for us. These will be very useful to help us to talk about working on a farm, especially with the helpful captions on the back explaining everything.
We want to say a huge thank-you to Summer’s Daddy for taking time to help us in this way. You provided a wonderful experience for the children which they will remember for a long time.
Nathan’s Mum liked the photo of him as a chef making our Chinese food:
“Go chef Nathan! Those noodles look yummy!”
He does look the part and he must have made a good job of preparing the Chinese food because lots of children enjoyed it. Before you know it he’ll be making the meals at home.
Kyle and Madison’s Mums liked our photos in the snow.
Kyle’s Mum: “what a great photo x”
Madison’s Mum: “madison had lots of fun going down the slide, she was doing it at home too x”
Kyle and Madison both look so happy. It’s just as well we managed to capture a few photos because the snow had disappeared by the next morning.
It’s good to see that you are enjoying our blog at home. We have had two recent comments on our Chinese New Year learning.
Lewis: “I really enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year. I really liked eating my noodles with chopsticks.”
Neve’s Mummy: “Neve has really enjoyed learning all about the Chinese New Year, she has loved coming home showing us her writing of numbers in Chinese. Great topic for the children to learn about. X”
Roxy’s Mum also left her a lovely comment when she was recently awarded a Hecklegirth Star Award:
“Im so proud of my little girl , well done xxx”
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to leave a comment. We really appreciate it.
Finlay and his Mum have been looking at our blog and have made two comments.
“Sending big hugs to help you get better Miss Kerr, see you soon. Love Finlay.xxx”
“The photograph in the Annandale of Burns Day was so cute of Finlay and the other boys and girls such a good photograph. Love Finlay’s Mum.x”
Miss Kerr will be so happy to get your messages. I’m sure you’ll be making her feel a lot better.
The photos were good in the paper – it makes such a difference when they’re in colour too.
We’re glad to hear that Bethany’s Mum likes her Burn’s Day photo. Well done Granny Thomson with the tartan – Bethany looked great.
“What a super photo! Thanks must go to Granny Thomson for sewing the tartan onto Bethany’s top! We really enjoyed the singing and Granny was glad she got to hear it too.”
The children seem to have enjoyed our learning about Scotland this term and we hope that you’ve had a good flavour of our activities through the blog as well as our displays. Two families have made recent comments on the children’s photos which we’d like to share with you:
“Shay looks great dressed like a piper.”
He did look wonderful and he did so well telling the children in both Nursery rooms all about his outfit. Thank you Shay.
“Great picture of Ollie painting his tartan. He has really enjoyed the Scottish theme over the past few weeks”.
Ollie certainly does seem to have enjoyed this theme. He was particularly good at talking about the different foods and remembering their Scottish names. Well done Ollie.
The Loch Ness Monster was part of our discussions when learning about Scotland and, as a home activity, the children were set the challenge of inventing a Hecklegirth Monster. It’s great to see that so many of you have been talking about this at home and you have produced some super ideas.
Some of the children have chosen to make a Nessie look-a-like and others are quite different. We have drawings and models, some done together with families and some done by the children on their own. We think that they are all wonderful. The children are always so pleased to share what they have done with their families and it helps to make those important links between Nursery and home.
We hope you enjoy our little gallery showing some of the Hecklegirth Monsters. All the monsters can be seen displayed in the corridor and both Nursery rooms.
Click and then double click to get a bigger view of the photos.
Everyone was so proud of the children at their Burn’s celebrations. As well as singing beautifully, they all looked fantastic in their ‘touch o’ tartan’. Thank you to those who have left comments on their photos. We really appreciate it.
Ollie’s Dad said:
“What a great photo. Was so excited to hear Ollie introduce his songs to all the mums and dads, a changed boy as he wouldn’t have done that when he first started nursery. Keep up the good work- you are all helping make Ollie the lovely little boy he is. Thanks.”
Ollie did so well and we were all proud of him too. It’s not easy to speak in front of 50 Nursery morning children but to do it for their families too is a real achievement. What’s more, he went on to introduce our songs the next day to the whole school so well done Ollie.
Corey’s Mum commented on two photos:
“Lovely photo of you Corey with some of your friends but next time say cheese looking at the camera lol”
“Gorgeous photo Corey you look good in your plaid”
It is lovely to see them all looking so grown-up in their tartan. Corey seemed to enjoy taking part in our celebrations and did well.
