The children were exploring with filling and emptying, they problem solved how to fill the tuff tray with water then transported the water back to the top to pour down and catch again.
They were experimenting with measure by using the numbers inside the buckets to see how much water they had collected.
2 of the children created their own Sea-Saw using a plank of wood and a log.
Our lunches come from a central unit. Please have a look at the video of how they are made.
The Scottish Government has commissioned an independent researcher called Progressive Partnership to undertake a survey of parents following the increase in funded ELC entitlement to 1,140 hours in August 2021. This survey will inform future government policy direction in terms of funded ELC. The Survey will explore views from parents and carers of children aged under 6 who have not yet started school.
The researcher is interested in hearing from parents whose children are in a wide variety of ELC settings, including school nurseries, playgroups, private/third sector nurseries, family centres and childminders and is also keen to hear the views of parents whose children are not in funded ELC.
The link to the survey is noted below and we have been asked to promote this across ELC settings and with childminders.All data will be strictly confidential and anonymised.

Miss Stevenson visited the ECC this afternoon to meet everyone moving into Primary 1 after the summer holidays. Miss Stevenson read the children a story about when Dragons go to school and gave out very special stickers for great listening. Everyone is so excited about their visit to Primary 1 on Friday. 😊
This morning in the garden we were joined by Mrs Ross and her P5/6 class. They are helping our ECC children on their transition journey to Primary 1.
Our children attending P1 this year have been allocated a Buddy for moving into P1 and our children who will be returning to the Centre after the Summer have been building relationships with the P5 children as an early transition experience for them.
It was a wonderful experience and the P5/6 children and ECC children were very excited about this taking place until mid June.
