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

Leave a comment

 

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.

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.

Spreading Sunshine

Fenwick ECC Spreading Sunshine

The children have been very busy over the past few months planting and caring for Sunflowers. They helped to water them and took them outside to help them grow.

When the Sunflowers were tall enough, they drew pictures that made them feel happy to attach as labels to the flowers.

The children decided they would like their plants to help make people feel happy.

They then delivered them to places in the local community.

The Rainbow Group delivered Sunflowers to Rev. Kim at Fenwick Parish Church. They helped Rev. Kim plant the Sunflower in the church ground and also helped to plant another beside the community bug hotel. We were very lucky to receive a flower back to grow in our garden too.

Some children delivered Sunflowers to neighbours of the ECC, to the Pharmacy, the Kings Arms and to the Hairdressers.

We also delivered some Sunflowers to the residents of Hallhouse Care Home for them to grow in their garden.

We placed lots of Sunflowers in the local coffee shop for people to take home and plant in their gardens.

It is important to everyone in Fenwick ECC to be part of our local community.  We look forward to planning more community projects in the new term.
