💛 11th of November

Over the past couple of weeks we have been exploring the human body in the Gruffalo room whilst in the Elmer room, the kids had access to wonderful firework learning experiences.

Ava loved using the dice outside. She had great fun with her friends following the instruction in which it landed on. Above, you can see Ava skipping.

Charlotte took a great interest in the babies. She took her time in learning how to put on the vest and made sure she had every last popper done!

Allan enjoyed using the light box to see the skeleton beneath our bodies, he did a great job of identifying the legs and then pointing to the same area of his own.

Matthew took an interest in building a rocket outdoors. He displayed great problem solving when he discovered the best way to get his friend inside it was to lift it up over his head.

I often find Braxton with a paintbrush in hand and when it came to fireworks it was no different. He was inspired by the two images of the easel and used fantastic brushstrokes to create his own beautiful firework display.

Aaron has loved exploring the different parts of his body he can use for moving the ball. Above, he had great fun flinging the ball up into the air then catching it. He also enjoyed kicking it around.

Great work from the Purple Group

Poppy has been exploring shapes. She used the magnetic shapes to create her own rocket.

Layla was creating her own story using props and figures. She was putting all the people in the jail.

Clara loves reading books. She was able to tell me what was happening in the story from the pictures.

Wallace has been exploring shapes. He’s perservered and completed this puzzle.

Value of the Month

 

This month the value we will be exploring will be fairness.  We would like to find out what the children think fairness means and also what parents/carers think 🤔

We will be emphasising fairness to the children in their play throughout the day and encouraging their understanding of this value within our shared vision here in Catrine ECC and the primary school.  The children will be bringing a sheet home that encourages their ideas and also any adult comments and thoughts.

Here is one I made today, lots of lovely comments and markings from the children as well as my own comment, if you could please bring this back to the ECC where the sheet can be placed in a tray at the door at drop off and pick up times.  Thank you, we appreciate your support 💕

“Live so when your children think of fairness, caring and integrity, they think of you.”     H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Group B’s Busy Week

In Group B this week the children had lots of fun learning about fireworks and how to keep themselves and others safe.  They enjoyed using the fire pit in the green space and discussing safety 🔥 

They enjoyed parachute games with all their friends in green space, working together and taking turns 😀

Busy Week in Group A

This week in Group A the children have been really busy making their own interpretations of fireworks and have been using lots of descriptive language.  We have had lots of messy fun 😀

We have been learning about body parts and the correct names.  The children were enjoying using their friends to investigate parts of the body and label them correctly 💕

Halloween rhyme

The children in bubble A and bubble B have been working hard all week to learn a Halloween rhyme to share with everyone.

 

Happy Halloween 🎃

 

Pumpkin Treasure Hunt

With COVID restrictions in place this year Halloween might look a bit different for everyone.

This is why the staff and children here at Catrine ECC have worked hard all week to create a fun activity for the whole family to do over the weekend at a time that suits.

Each child has a paper copy home also.
