As the Communication Champion within Catrine ECC, I have started a new initiative which is ‘Rhyme of the Month’. This will be posted each month on GLOW, and you will be able to find it within the Communication tab on our GLOW page. This initiative is something that can be enjoyed at home with all the family.

Also, each month children from both bubbles will perform the ‘Rhyme of the Month’ in the outdoor space and I will post this to GLOW for all parents and carers to enjoy.

Red Nose Day

On Friday 19th March we will be supporting Comic Relief by wearing something red. The children can also come along to the centre wearing something red. A donation bucket will be placed beside Janet at both drop off and pick up times to allow parents to make a donation, if they wish to.

Any money collected will be split in half between the charity and our Catrine ECC snack fund.

Thank you for your continued support.

 

STEM week!

It has been an exciting week here at the ECC celebrating Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths with a huge range of fantastic new resources.  Each bubble have had the chance to explore and investigate our terrific learning opportunities with the silent disco being a huge hit!  We have been so busy and the week has been jam packed with learning and laughter. The smiles on the children’s faces and the excitement and curiosity during experiments has been superb. We hope everyone has a great weekend and comes back refreshed and full of beans next week ready to explore our nurture focus ♥

Numeracy at home

Good afternoon boys and girls, I hope you are all well.  We are adding a mathematical theme to our GLOW blog every second week to help promote numeracy and all it entails, using a range of household and outdoor resources.

                                                      

Today we have a little challenge – can you all look through the house and see how many circular objects you can find? When you have found what you are looking for you could draw some pictures and send them to me.

Walking outside, you could also look for circular or other shaped objects and let me know by either taking pictures, or drawing them for me.

Celebrating Elmer

We have had lots of fun learning about Elmer. We made our own elephants out of milk cartons, we created different patterns, we collaged a large Elmer and played a colour by number game. We also learned it’s ok to be unique and discussed how Elmer looked different.

Here is a video of the story we have been reading in the ECC for you to listen to at home.

Sea Creatures Bedtime Story

It has been a long and fun week for everyone in the Sea Creatures bubble. We have had so much fun celebrating World Book Week and participating in a wide range of activities.

Today, we were focusing on The Gruffalo, please click the link below to listen to Julie’s bedtime story. I hope you all enjoy and have a lovely weekend😊.

Your child needs your help :)

Monday 8th – Friday 12th March is STEM WEEK

Throughout the week the children will be given the opportunity to explore a variety of experiences under the above headings. As a wee treat for the children we have purchased a SILENT DISCO as one of their Technology experiences.

Like any good party, the choice of music either makes it or breaks it. As much as we would LOVE to put on some Whitney Houston songs, Take That, Rod Stewart or GBX tunes it’s not about us (until 3pm hits LOL) so we need your help …..

Can you simply pop your child’s favourite song on the form below to allow us to play it for them and hopefully get them up dancing with their friends?

It can be anything from Disney classics to Gerry Cinnamon, Tik Tok favourites to Ed Sheeran.

Thank you from DJ Speirs 🙂

 

 

 

Aliens love Underpants!!

During our World Book Day week the Minibeast have had lots of fun exploring the story ‘Aliens Love Underpants’. We have been using our creative skills to make our own aliens using connects and potatoes with a range of craft materials. We were also designing underpants for the aliens using lots of bright colours. The children have further developed their role play skills when washing the underpants in our water tray. They then created their own washing line to hang  the underpants on, just like in the story.

Here is a video of the story we have been reading in the ECC for you to enjoy at home.
