ECC Meals Information
Dear Parent/Carer,
We are approaching the start of our new term at the ECC and we would like to share with you the information from East Ayrshire Council regarding lunches.

End of Term Message
🌟Well that’s a wrap for session 2022 – 2023. 🌟
What an incredible year we have had here in Fenwick ECC.
We hope all of our children and their families have an amazing summer.
We look forward to welcoming our returning children back to the Centre in August.
To our children moving to Primary 1 – we are all so incredibly proud of the amazing young people you are. Good luck and please come to visit us if you can.
🌟”One thing we’ve tried to teach you, to last your whole life though, is just to know how special you are, just because you are you.” 🌟

Jiggy Wrigglers
We were so lucky to have Jacqueline from Jiggy Wrigglers visit the Centre to help us celebrate the end of term with a super fun Jiggy Wrigglers Party.
All the children had an amazing time at their Beach Party.
Thank you!
Summer Garden Party
Everyone had lots of fun at our garden party last week.
We had music, dancing, bubbles, an ice cream station and lots of fun experiences.
The children and their grown ups helped Gillian to release some butterflies. The children have helped to care for these butterflies since they were tiny caterpillars and watched then grow and transform.
Thank you to everyone who came along – it was a lovely afternoon!
Group Allocations 2023 – 2024
Your child will receive a letter with details of their Key Worker group for the new session starting in August.
Some children may remain the the same group, where others may move to a new group.
We are very lucky here in Fenwick ECC that all team members know all children very well and all children have built up very positive relationships with the staff team over their time in the ECC. These positive relationships make occasions such as staff training and absence an easy to manage transition.
If you have any worries or concerns about group allocations please speak to Joanne or call 01560 600403.
Thank you for your continued support.
*Learning Journal information for children who are moving into Primary 1*
*Information for children who are moving into Primary 1*
Over your child’s time in the ECC we have documented their learning journey and key events on their individual Learning Journal.
Unfortunately this is a platform used in the ECC and not in Primary 1, therefore their journal will be deactivated on the 1st of September 2023.
Please use the time between now and then to save any photographs from their Learning Journal that you would like to keep for your records.
Please speak to Joanne or your child’s Key Worker if you require your password for learning Journals to be reset.
In Primary 1 you will be able to visit the Primary 1 class blog on GLOW to keep up to date with your child’s learning.
