Summer Holiday Wishes

Dear Parents, Grandparents, Family and Friends of Fenwick ECC,

As we come to the end of another wonderful year, we want to take a moment to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, support, and encouragement. Your involvement means the world to us, and it has made this year truly special.

To our incredible children – thank you for being the bright, curious, and joyful little stars that you are. You make every day a pleasure, and we feel so lucky to be part of your journey.

Thank you also for your very generous gifts – your thoughtfulness is deeply appreciated.

We wish you all a relaxing and fun-filled summer holiday, and to our children heading off to P1 in August – good luck! We’ll miss you and know you’ll shine just as brightly in your next adventure.

With love,

Joanne, Gillian, Angela and Susan xx

Health Week Monday 19th May – Friday 23rd May.

                         

 

Next week all children in Fenwick ECC will be taking part in Health Week activities.

Health week incorporates many aspects around being healthy, including looking after our emotional and mental health as well as our physical health and eating healthily.

We have lots of fun filled experiences planned during the course of the week such as Cosmic Yoga, Just Dance, Jiggy Wrigglers, healthy eating challenges and Mini-Massage.

Fenwick PS Health & Wellbeing Committee would love for as many people as possible to walk to school next week to help promote Health Week and also help children earn bonus miles for Shoot To Saturn challenges.

The children are welcome to come to the ECC in their sports clothes, if they wish.

As we will be spending lots of time out doors please ensure your child has sun cream applied before coming into the Centre in the morning and that they bring a wide brimmed sun hat with them to the Centre.

ECC staff reapply sun cream after the children have their lunch.

Thank you for your continued support.

 

Sun Cream

 

Please can all children bring a bottle of SPF 30 + sun cream into the Centre. The Centre will keep a stock of SPF 50+, 5 star UVA & UVB sun cream if required.

Sun cream will be stored in an easily accessible basket in the ECC corridor for Parent’s/ Carer’s to access as required.

As we look towards some (hopefully) very sunny weather can you ensure that your child has sun cream applied before coming into the Centre in the mornings. This will allow them direct access to outdoor play.

Staff will reapply sun cream after lunch time, before the children access outdoors again in the afternoon.

Please provide a sun hat for your child to wear as they play outdoors. To help on hot days, loose clothing and wide brimmed sun hats are best to help keep the children protected from the sun.

These hats can be placed in the group boxes which can now be found in Playroom 2.

Additionally, the children will be accessing outdoors lots, they will running climbing and jumping. Please provide your child with closed toed shoes such as trainers to help minimise tripping accidents.

Our sun protection policy can be found in the policy tab on this blog.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask your child’s Key Worker or Joanne.

Thank you for your continued support.

The children in the ECC will have their photos taken first before any messy or outdoor play takes place.

Photos will be sent home with your child along with instructions of how to order prints/ digital downloads if you wish.

 

Winter Illnesses

 

We realise that there are lots of winter illnesses around at the moment.

It can be tricky at times knowing when to keep your child off from the ECC.

If your child is unwell and absent from the ECC, please call the main office on 01560 600403. There is also a function on the Safer Schools Scotland App to report an absence.

When informing us of your child’s absence we would really appreciate you giving a reason for their absence, e.g. a high temperature, sickness, an unsettled night or a planned holiday.

This allows us to monitor outbreaks of illness, complete more stringent cleaning processes to minimise the spread of infection and to monitor others if they are feeling unwell.

Thank you for your continued support.
