East Renfrewshire Smile Month

All nursery schools and classes in East Renfrewshire have been invited to take part in a tooth-brushing initiative during the month of February. Staff and children have to report on their activities to promote the phrase “Hold that Smile”.

At Hazeldene we are planning to link experiences of “Hold That Smile” to the current learning in the school of rhyme, ICT, role play and a photographer visit.

As part of this children will:

  • be taking part in a “Hold That Smile” Ipad experience with Mrs Brown and Mrs Pert (pre-school children)/li>
  • be issued with leaflets to complete at home and return to nursery on 28th February. They will then receive a Hazeldene Hold That Smile Award.
  • be smiling well for the photographer visit,
  • be learning their own Hold That Smile rhyme/song.

    •  Please enjoy this at home too.

    Hazeldene Hold That Smile Song

    (to the tune of “Skip to my Lou”)

    Brush your teeth now, quick, quick, quick.
    That’s them clean now for a while.
    Smile for the camera, click, click, click.
    That’s how to hold your Hazeldene smile!

    It’s been a busy week!

    Welcome back to nursery, we hope you all had a wonderful October break. There has been lots going on at Hazeldene this week…

    • The Pre-Schoolers have all had their vision screening checks.

    • The children have been voting for names beginning with “B” for the twin bears who will be coming home with a different pre-school child each day. Watch this space to find out their names!

    • Today our Tea, Talk and Topic / Coffee and Chat sessions will be taking place at 10.45am and 2.30pm. Topics for discussion will include, going forward for our Family Friendly Award, Parents’ Commitee, recruiting Santa’s Helpers and in the afternoon the Nursery Psychologist will share information on children’s behaviour. We hope you will join us to meet other parents, share suggestions and ideas and have any questions answered.
