At this time of worry and uncertainty it’s important to take time to talk to our children about how they are feeling and what they are worried about and offer some reassurance. Remember give plenty of praise when your child talks about their feelings, it encourages them to be more open. 
Have fun drawing your own sheet at home, “How do we make a worried face?”♥

The children in the blue group met Hector the Harris Hawk whilst out a walk in the afternoon, they found out lots of interesting facts on how to look after this animal as a pet.
We have been talking about pets this week in the ECC, we have had discussion times on how to look after our pets and been drawing our pets in the Elmer room. Thank you for sending in all your lovely photographs of your pets, keep them coming!
Meet Achieving Andy, he will be showing us what it means to achieve our goals and targets. We would love to hear about achievements from home also.
We are looking at ways to keep our body and minds healthy with Healthy Hannah. We tried yoga and had lots of fun!
Please keep us updated with your children’s achievements from home, thank you.
This month we are exploring our value of Fairness and what that means to us. Please take a minute when visiting the ECC to leave your comment on a post-it at the main door, thank you.
We have been celebrating Chinese New Year this week and made our very own Chinese Dragon. Today we performed our Dragon Dance, with dancing and instruments.
We have been chatting about the importance of Oral Health and how we care for our teeth. In the monkey room we have set up our very own Dentist surgery.
At snack time we explored a range of different fruits to make our own fruit kebabs, we discussed what foods are healthy for us to eat and what our favourites are. Everyone agreed that the fruit kebabs were delicious.
We had a visit from Howard today, a ranger from Dean Castle and Country Park, who was awarding us with our very own apple tree. This was our treat for winning the competition last year with our fantastic creation Alaalaenaeeee. We even got to make our very own apple juice.
We had so much fun at the Games Hall today too, playing on the bouncy castle and enjoying parachute games. 
Merry Christmas everyone see you in the New Year.
We had so much fun at our Christmas Bookbug session with Alana, all our guests looked like they enjoyed it too, especially the snowball fight.
We enjoyed exploring ice today with the elf. We tried melting the ice using water, flour and salt. We learned that salt melts ice really fast.
We had fun exploring water tension with Elf today. Exploring how we could get the fish to move across the surface of the water using just fairy liquid and a dropper.
