Well done to all of the ECC staff and children who were involved in the filming yesterday afternoon for the East Ayrshire Council film for the CYPIC Conference in Glasgow.
The film crew commented on the brilliant learning activities provided for the children and loved filming the interactions between children and staff. We are so proud that Catrine ECC is being recognised for its quality learning and teaching environment.
Special thanks to our Depute Manager, Alana, for her wonderful organisation and preparation for the film schedules and for her interview.
The children enjoyed looking at the different types of seeds that came from some of the fruit they were offered at snack. During snack, the staff ensure they are at the children’s level to communicate effectively. They ensure they have eye contact and give the children their full attention during discussion. They also allow the children adequate time to respond, promoting and encouraging positive interactions. The children used descriptive language to describe the texture, shape and size of the seeds. When participating in the discussion they communicated their thoughts and knowledge effectively. They discussed where the seed came from, what seeds require to help them grow and what they might grow into.
