As part of our World of Work Week we are looking for any parents or family members that would be able to visit our ECC to share with the children information about their job.  This will help support us to develop the children’s knowledge and understanding about the wide range of jobs available to them when they grow up. It helps create the foundations of our future work force.

The kind of information we are looking for is:

• What are your responsibilities and roles?
• Do you wear a uniform or any safety equipment?
• What tools or resources do you use?
• What products do you produce?
• Does your job help anyone?
• What is the environment like where you work?
• What are the benefits of your work?
• Why do you enjoy doing the job you do?

Please feel free to bring pictures, equipment, uniforms or props to help show the children more about your job.

The dates to visit would be 29th, 30th of May and 3rd of June. If you are able to help us with this task please speak to Sherrie to arrange a time for you to visit.

If anyone is unable to visit in person please feel free to create a short video sharing information about your job. Please email these to easherrie.devlin@glow.sch.uk

Have a look at our sway to see some wonderful photographs from our literacy morning up at the school for our preschool children.  The buddies and the primary 1 children joined us in the gym hall to take part in a range of experiences.

This week our activity is to use digital technology to research information.

You can choose anything to research and find out information or facts about. It could be about an animal, a place in the world, a food, a superhero or anything you wish.

Encourage your child to select the apps, support them to try typing in words, allow them to select the web page, use the mouse and look at the pictures. You could also try using voice recognition, such as Siri, to tell the device what they want to find out.

Then create a picture of what you have researched. Adults or children can write or type any information the children can recall from searching the internet about their chosen subject.

You can use pen and paper or even the drawing pad or app on computers/iPads to try and create your picture/poster.

You can bring your pictures into the ECC or, if you have created them on the computer, then email them to easherrie.devlin@glow.sch.uk

Have fun.

Please see link below from yesterday’s visit to Catrine Primary with Rena.

Transition group B

Yesterday, group B went up to Catrine Primary School to visit their new teachers and their classroom. They all had so much fun getting to see the environment and playing with their old frie…

Go to this Sway

In the next few weeks we will be starting to develop the children’s learning through exploring different types of jobs that are available in the world we live in.
Therefore, for this home link activity I thought it would be fun to get all our family members to think back to when they were young(er) and what they dreamt of being when they grew up.

So the task is to create a short video discussing what job you wanted to have.

Please encourage the children to use an iPad, phone or recording device to select the app to video your discussion, allow them to watch and help attach the video and send the email.
Discuss what roles the job might have, if the job uses specific tools, the uniform they might wear, the products they produce, where in the world they might work, who they might help, why you wanted to have this job and any other fun facts.
Please feel free to use props, pictures or even dress up to show us the jobs you wanted when you were young.

Please email any videos to easherrie.devlin@glow.sch.uk by Monday 6th of May.

Don’t worry – it will only be the kids and staff that will see the videos 😁
