We hope that everyone has enjoyed their holidays with their families. You will no doubt have lots of tales to tell us when you return. Nursery starts back tomorrow (Monday) when we look forward to welcoming three new children and their families. Starting times are as normal – a soft start between 8.45 and 9.10 for the morning children and 12.15 in the afternoon. We look forward to seeing you all then.

Welcome Miss Young
Miss Lauren Young is a second year student from the University of Glasgow and will be in the Rainbow Room on a Friday for the next few weeks.
We would like to welcome Miss Young to our Nursery and hope that she enjoys her placement with us. She certainly enjoyed getting to know the children today and we look forward to her next visit.
Settling In
Eight new children have joined us this week and they are beginning to settle well into Nursery life. They are becoming familiar with the routines and are growing in confidence to try out a range of activities. We hope that our new families enjoy using our blog to get a feel for life in Hecklegirth Nursery and thought we would share these photos of some of the children enjoying their first few days. Thank you to those who have returned their permission slips so far. We would ask that those who have not yet done this, to return their slips next week. Once you given us permission, your child can appear here on the blog and you can see them at play.
Happy New Term
Tomorrow, Wednesday 6th January, will be the start of term and we are looking forward to seeing everyone again, along with the eight new children who will also be getting ready for their first day. We hope that they are excited to be starting Nursery and are looking forward to making new friends. No doubt everyone will make them feel welcome and we hope that this is the beginning of a happy experience for the children and their families.
Our morning session will have a soft start, as usual, between 8.45 and 9.10. The afternoon session will begin at 12.15. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
Hello Miss Awde
Do you remember this photo with the caption “Goodbye Miss Awde”? Well, we are delighted to say it’s now “Hello Miss Awde” as she is back with us as a permanent member of staff. Miss Awde was successful at interview for the one day a week post and will work as a Nursery Nurse on a Friday in the Sunshine Room. Children and staff alike are delighted to have Miss Awde back as part of our Nursery.
Welcome To Mrs. Bell
Children in the Sunshine Room have been getting to know Mrs. Caroline Bell who is on placement with us as a teaching student from University of West of Scotland. Mrs. Bell will be based in the Sunshine Room for the next few weeks, although she has also enjoyed meeting the Rainbow children outdoors, and is looking forward to working with everyone. We hope that she has a happy time at Hecklegirth Nursery.
First Day
We hope that everyone enjoyed their first day in Nursery. It has been lovely for us to see all the familiar faces from last year and to begin to get to know our new children and their families.
We are able to share a few photos of the children at play today. Once we have blog permission slips returned from everyone, we will able to share more photos and examples of the children’s work here so please remember to return your form if you wish your child to be part of the blog. We hope that you will find this a valuable insight into the life of our Nursery and that you can use the blog to add comments about your child’s experience.

Welcome
We were delighted to welcome our new Depute Head Teacher Mr. Palmer to Hecklegirth Primary last week. Mr. Palmer has already been very busy in the Nursery and we all look forward to working with him in the months and years ahead.
Making New Friends
The family of one of our children who started this week has been looking at our blog:
“Brogan has settled in fine at nursery and seems to be enjoying his time here and also making new friends as well as playing and learning”
We are glad that Brogan is enjoying his start to Nursery life. Thank you for leaving us a comment. We hope that you continue to enjoy visiting the blog to see what’s happening in Nursery.
