Responsible Citizens – Hecklegirth Nursery

Bird Watching

Sophie’s family has sent in a lovely activity suggestion that they are taking part in and would like to share with other families.

” There’s a wildlife census we can all fill in online from 1st July recording any sightings of these birds and creatures in our gardens in June. – Sophie and max are loving watching out for them all and learning lots about them different species and which ones come out at night for example they can now identify starlings, magpies, blackbirds, blue tits and are really excited to tick them off the list. “

This looks very interesting and certainly something that other families may enjoy. Thank you very much for sharing it. Happy bird watching everyone!

Busy Briana

Briana’s family has sent some lovely photos of her busy outdoors. Briana has been growing her own flowers and carrots, as well as feeding the birds, so she has certainly been kept busy while Nursery has been closed. Very well done Briana and thank you so much for sharing your lovely photos. It’s great to hear from you.

Super Work Robin

We have been hearing about what Robin has been doing while Nursery has been closed and have some lovely photos to share of him building with his bricks and of a super bird feeder that he made. We are very impressed with your writing too Robin.

Very well done Robin! The birds will love visiting your feeder and that will always be a reminder in your garden of this time as you grow up. Thank you so much for sharing your super photos.

News From Noah

We have some wonderful photos to share of what Noah has been doing during Nursery closure. Of course, his main duty has been taking on the very important role of being a big brother.
His family say, ” Noah is an excellent big brother, helping with Jude, playing with him, keeping him entertained in the car and giving him lots of cuddles”. Jude looks so cute and we just knew you would be a brilliant big brother Noah. Very well done!

Noah’s Mum also told us what else he has been busy with during the past weeks at home:

“Making slime has been a firm favourite – a slime dinosaur land, of course! We’ve also made a lot of salt dough shapes and painted them which has been fun. At Easter Noah made salt dough bunnies and Easter eggs which we decorated and hung on our tree in the garden so the Easter Bunny would know where to find us. Noah has also been playing a lot of guitar with his Daddy which I’m sure the neighbours have loved!

We’ve been enjoying our daily walks and Noah and his Daddy have been a bit more adventurous than me and have been skateboarding. We’ve also been teaching Noah to ride his big boy bike – hopefully he’ll be cycling without the stabilisers soon. “

Noah also asked his family to send us a picture of the rainbow he painted for all the key workers working hard to keep us safe, and their pet cat Milly. We love your rainbow Noah and it’s good to see that Milly is guarding it well. We are sure that it will make people very happy when they see it as they walk by.

Goodness me Noah, you’ve certainly been very busy and it is lovely to hear about all your adventures. Skateboarding sounds very tricky so well done with that and good luck with your bike – we think that you’ll be off on your own without stabilisers very soon. Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful photos and tales of what you have been doing. It’s lovely to hear from you and no doubt your friends will love seeing your photos as much as we do.

Super Writing

Just look at the super writing that Macaulay and Ariannah have done to thank Mrs. Gray for their card. Mrs. Gray is delighted with your kind thoughts and we are all very impressed with your super writing. Thank you for being so kind both of you and for all your hard work. It is lovely to hear from you.

Kind And Thoughtful

Yet again, Isaac and his family have shown great kindness in making and delivering some beautiful bread to Mrs. Kirkpatrick. She was delighted with their kind gift and said that it was delicious and particularly enjoyed it with her favourite topping of cheese on toast with black pepper. It certainly does look very tasty. Very well done Isaac for being so kind and thoughtful.You are becoming very good at baking.

Fun Days For Violeta

Violeta’s family has shared her news from home and some beautiful photos:

“Hi violeta is been enjoying the good weather, she flayed a kite and she loves do that, we been on the beach she played on the sand was very fun, she dress up like princess, she always likes to help at home. Violeta said ” I love the letter my teacher send to me, I miss you and all my teachers and friends, I’m very excited to go back to school, but I’m having fun all the time hope you are all safe ” “

What a lovely selection of photos to show us what you have been doing with your family Violeta. We are glad that you have received your letter. We all miss you too but it’s great to see that you are having lots of fun and helping out at home too. Thank you for sending us your photos.

Looking After Our Plants

James and Lily have been visiting our planter on the High Street and their family told us that they have been learning about keeping the flowers alive and what they need to grow.
How kind of you both to water our plants Lily and James. Some of the Nursery staff have been trying to care for them in the hot weather and it’s great to know that we have such super helpers. Thank you so much and thank you for sharing your photos. We love to see you all. Keep up the good work!

Tadpole Update

I wonder if you remember the tadpoles that Isaac was looking after? Well we have exciting news – the tadpoles have grown and their legs are now forming. What a brilliant job you must have been doing Isaac in caring for them. It is great to see their progress.
Always busy, Isaac has also completed a 48 piece jigsaw puzzle unaided and has been playing a board game with his family called “Pop To The Shops” where he has been counting and learning about money. What a lot of super skills you have been practising there Isaac!
Thank you so much for sharing your photos. We have been wondering how those tadpoles were progressing. Well done for all your hard work.

Thank You Isaac

Mrs. Irving would like to share this message for Isaac W.:

“I was overwhelmed this morning with the kindness of Isaac and his Daddy as they dropped some delicious home baking at my door. What a generous and thoughtful act of kindness! Isaac, you have brought a huge smile to my face. Scott, Eve, Coll and I all say a big thank you!”

How lovely to hear about such kindness in our community. Isaac, your baking looks absolutely delicious and we are sure that Mrs. Irving and her family will thoroughly enjoy it. You should feel very proud of yourself for being so thoughtful and kind.
