ECC transition visit to Catrine PS
Today we had a lovely morning taking our first group of ECC children up to the primary school for their ‘Numeracy’ transition morning. The children enjoyed visiting the playground, having a picnic snack and meeting their siblings and new teachers. What a lovely morning we all had!
Celebrating Achievement
Please have a look at the sway below, we would really appreciate your support in helping us celebrate achievement ♥
Let’s Talk Pants – Pantosaurus (RSHP)
Have a look at the sway below to meet or say “Hi again” to Pantosaurus, our prehistoric friend who has a fun way to explore how we can keep ourselves safe in our early years. We hope you enjoy the attached videos and links and if you still feel that you need some information or support please contact the ECC or send us an email. Lesleyanne is our fabulous Health and Wellbeing Champion here at Catrine. Relationships, Sexual Health and Partnerships (RSHP) fall under this category and therefore she will be more than happy to support in anyway that she can ♥
ealesley-anne.adams@glow.sch.org
We aim to introduce the children to Pantosaurus at the start of next week. We have started exploring lifecycles within the centre where we have been looking in particular at how a caterpillar starts off and how it develops into a butterfly.
A letter and leaflet was sent home with your child today which also explains more in relation to how RSHP is taught at early level, through age appropriate experiences.
Teamwork Tree
Thank you to everyone who left a comment on our teamwork tree outside the ECC this week – lots of great, positive comments. 😀
I hope everyone has a fantastic long weekend and can enjoy some relaxed restrictions. Have fun and see you all on Tuesday ❤️
