Natan, one of our older pupils in school, has been looking at our photos of the children making chocolate shapes for the Christmas Fayre:
“Really Cool Photo I am in p5/6”
Thank you Natan for taking the time to look at our blog and leaving a comment – it’s good to know that older pupils are interested in Nursery. We really appreciate your interest.
This sounds like lots of fun. We hope to see you all there.
We would like to pass on a message from Mrs. Alexander, our Headteacher.
“It is with much sadness that I report to you of a break-in school last weekend. Lap-tops, I-pads, hard drives and walkie-talkies are among the items taken. Every room was entered and items were removed using the green recycling bags, of all things! The locked doors in the staffroom and Headteacher’s office were broken down to allow them further access.
We are most grateful to our local police and CID for their support throughout the day, their quick retrieval of many of the stolen items and subsequent arrest of the culprits. Our records show that 249 texts were sent and delivered at 7.40am by the school office with only 7 not receiving this, mostly due to signal problems and old mobile numbers being on record. Thankyou for your support and understanding at such short notice- it is very much appreciated.
Our pupils and staff are very upset at the intrusion of the school and the theft of our resources, some of which were purchased through fund-raising. However our school community is united in not allowing the poor decisions of others affect the positive futures of our young people! Aim high, Hecklegirth!”
Iona, one of our older pupils in school, left a “Well Done” comment for one of our recent award winners. It’s great to know that some of our school pupils are taking an interest in the Nursery blog so thank you Iona for taking the time to leave a comment.
Bethany’s Mum also enjoyed the photos from our Children In Need Day”:
“What a great photo of Joshua and Bethany together. Everyone looked great x”
They do look happy together. It was lovely to see the children in all their different outfits that day and, as you can see below, we raised a great total.
Thank you so much to all those who contributed to our “Children In Need” total. It is greatly appreciated.
We would like to remind you that tomorrow, Thursday 5th October, is “Go Purple Day” at Hecklegirth. Staff and pupils will wear purple and make donations of £1 per family in aid of the Schiehallion Appeal, the Glasgow Children’s Hospital charity, to help support a pupil in our school who is currently receiving treatment in Glasgow. Any additional donations would be gratefully received.
Let’s hope that we can turn the school and Nursery purple tomorrow.
We would like to remind you that Hecklegirth Fundraisers are holding their AGM on Monday 25th September at 6.00. All children in our school and Nursery benefit from the super efforts of this fundraising group so it would be great if Nursery parents could help to support them by popping along to their meeting where you can find out what they do and how to become involved as part of our community.

Last week Hecklegirth families joined their children to sample a school lunch in preparation for the move to Primary 1 in August. Pizza and chips or delicious sandwiches were on offer and I spotted some tasty looking chocolate cake, grapes and yoghurts for dessert which seemed to go down well with most children. Hopefully everyone is now looking forward to their school lunches when they come to Primary 1 in August.
