Ben’s family enjoyed seeing him on the blog with his well-earned certificate:
“Ben was very pleased to be presented with his certificate, his mummy, daddy & big sisters were extremely proud of him! Keep up the good work :0) well done to the other girls & boys getting their certificates too. (They are lovely certificates)”
We’re glad you like our new certificates and well done to everyone who has received one so far.
Thank you to all those who contributed to our Children in Need non-uniform day. Some went with the superhero theme and others simply enjoyed wearing something different. We are delighted to say that Nursery raised £65 as part of a grand total of £264 raised by Hecklegirth School so thank you very much to everyone who contributed.
As part of our transition work, Primary 6 has begun to visit Nursery in the last few weeks to begin to build relationships with our children. They have been discussing what makes a good buddy and they are learning how to communicate with children of this age.
Lots of super posters have been produced as part of Primary 6’s Literacy work and they have displayed one in each cloakroom area of Nursery. We hope that you are impressed with their ideas and the thought that has gone into their accompanying notice. They would greatly value feedback and suggestions from Nursery parents on their work so please add your comments to the sheet displayed as they would be very interested to hear what other ideas you might have.
Thank you to Primary 6 for all your hard work. We really appreciate the time you have taken to think about this important role.
We would like to remind you that we are having an non-uniform day tomorrow (14th November) for Children in Need. The theme is super heroes but the children can dress as they like. A donation would be appreciated towards this worthy cause. We look forward to seeing what the children choose to wear.
Last week our Health and Wellbeing focus was on manners and being kind to others. These children were deserving certificate winners for showing lovely manners and being helpful in Nursery so well done to them all.
The children in Nursery joined the rest of the school in standing silently for Remembrance Day. They came from snack, from the outdoor area and from their play to join together in their silence. As you can see, they all showed themselves to be very grown-up and took the occasion seriously. Well done boys and girls – we are very proud of you.
The cooking skills of the Sunshine Room matched those of the Rainbow Room towards the end of term when they also learned to make apple crumble. The children listened well to follow instructions and produced tasty crumbles from their hard work. I wonder if anyone’s having a go at some cooking in the holidays?
A few children have been awarded certificates over the past week or two in Nursery. Some have received them because they settled well in their first few weeks, others for being kind and helpful but all these children deserved their awards and seemed proud of their achievements. Well done boys and girls.
A team of painters was busy in the garden last week as we decided, once we had lifted the vegetables, that our raised beds were looking a little worse for wear. As you can see, they set about the task with great enthusiasm. Well done painting team – you did a super job working well together.
We had a lovely surprise this week when Joe W’s family brought us in lots of apples from their tree so we decided to make crumble. The children were able to develop their learning in lots of areas – learning about the importance of hygiene and safety in the kitchen, fine motor control, counting and chopping skills, using the technology of a microwave and the effect of heat on the apples.
Hopefully you can see the children demonstrating some of their new skills in our photos. Mrs. Alexander was certainly pleased with the crumble we took her as a surprise and we hope that the children enjoyed theirs too. Thank you very much to Joe’s family for bringing in the apples – you provided us with a great opportunity for fun learning.
