ELCC enjoyed a break in the stormy weather to read their favourite stories outside!
Tartan Making for Burns Days in ELCC
Robert Burns style group time! Today we discussed tartan and looked at lots of different tartans on the computer. We spoke about families belonging to a clan and having their own individual tartan – colours and patters. This morning we designed our our group tartan.
Exploring Numbers to 10
ELCC have been exploring numbers to 10. They are learning to recognise the numbers, count the dots and put them in order.
We have been talking about bonfire night and Guy Fawkes. On bonfire night we remembered that you have fireworks 💥 🎇 🎆 We made our own kind of fireworks! We filled balloons with paint and we all had a turn to pop one and SPLAT paint everywhere like a colourful firework 💥There was lots of hilarity and fun in the nursery this morning!
Water fun in our early years!
Our Early Years have a new water tray and they all love it.
Glen: “It is cool”,
Archie: “It’s big”.
Mason: ” I like it because it’s outside and it has a waterfall”.
We hope you have lots of fun with it and we can’t wait to see what you do with it !
Maths Home Bags
We launched our Maths Home Link bags during Maths Week Scotland to encourage and support learning maths through play at home. Our maths bags contain fun and engaging toys with a matching activity card which suggests a range of indoor and outdoor activities with a maths focus. Parents and children have had lots of fun exploring maths through play.
‘Mara and her little sister have both loved them! It’s been great for me because I don’t have a maths brain so wouldn’t come up with many ideas myself!’
‘They do help when it comes to maths through play ideas as I would not necessarily think to explore more than counting and basic shapes.’
‘They have definitely helped me to teach her maths in a fun and interesting way.’
