October Fun at Catrine ECC
Autumn is well and truly here, and Catrine ECC is currently alive with spooky excitement! We haven’t waited until the end of the month to get into the spirit—our Halloween celebrations and sensory play are already in full swing and been happening all week.
Our little ghouls and ghosts have been busy exploring slimy potion trays, scooping out big pumpkins, and getting their hands sticky with themed arts and crafts. Alongside our spooky fun, we are still making the most of the beautiful autumn weather. The children love wrapping up warm to crunch through fallen leaves, collect acorns, and spot all the changing colours in the garden. It is a wonderfully busy month of hands-on learning, and we love seeing the children so engaged!
Check out what we have been up to…
Welcome back and a very warm welcome to our first monthly Sway of the new ECC year!
Whether your child is returning to us after the summer or stepping through our nursery doors for the very first time, we are absolutely thrilled to have you as part of our family. September is always a magical month filled with wide eyes, big smiles, new friendships, and plenty of exploration.
We know how much happens in those first few weeks, so this monthly update is designed to give you a front-row seat to all the fun, learning, and messy play your little ones have been enjoying.
Grab a cup of tea, scroll down, and take a look at what we’ve been up to this month!
