Some of the children went to on the train to Stewarton with a big shopping list.
First they went to the Book Nook on the Main Street to collect the books we’d ordered. Sarah the owner of the Book Nook kindly donated £60 to the ECC and we chose books to support developing our work on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. Sarah also read to the children and they got to look at the lovely books she has in her shop.
Then they went to Aldi to choose pumpkins and gourds and they also bought croissants and brioche buns for our French Friday Cafe.
A huge thank you again to Sarah, we appreciate this kind gift! If you are looking for books for gifts/Christmas etc, please remember we have a wonderful independent bookseller close to us!!
Kind regards, Mrs Nouillan
Today was our final Talking Time with Parents workshop for this term. Today the children and their mum’s made some Autumn trees together, had a small snack and used their imagination to create stories using our story bags.
I hope all the parents who have attended have enjoyed this workshop as much as I have.
Kindest Regards

On Saturday 7th October, myself and the ECC staff team attended the Early Years Conference at Strathclyde University. The conference was called Looking Through the Lens: The Creative Zone with keynote speakers Deirdre Grogan and Charlotte Bowes.
During the day, the staff further developed their understanding of the importance of using the environment to develop a wide range of creative skills, including sewing! We all loved the sewing!!
To finish, we all took part in different workshops led by staff from early year centres across the central belt and it was fabulous to learn from them too!
A huge thank you is extended to our amazing staff team for giving their time on a Saturday to attend this conference!
Kind regards, Mrs Nouillan

Our Rhyme of the Month for October is, Incy Wincy Spider. The children have been learning this rhyme using British Sign Language, so this month I have shared the BSL clip of Incy Wincy Spider for you and your children to learn the rhyme together. I hope you enjoy it.
Kindest Regards
Mrs Marshall
Incy Wincy spider climbed up the water spout.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain.
So Incy Wincy spider climbed up the spout again.

At our Talking Time with Parent’s session this week, we read the story ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ and the children worked with their parent to draw a picture of the jungle. The children then enjoyed a snack with their parent, and then chose one of our story bags to work with their mum or dad to create a story. We finished our session with a nursery rhyme.
Today is Grandparent’s Day.
We enjoyed two wonderful Stay and Play sessions with lots of Grandparent’s turning out to take part and have fun.
Look out Grandparent’s we will have you back in December.
Thank you for joining us.
