I’ll stay a while and then come out and be a butterfly.
Two of our caterpillar’s have now emerged from their cacoons. They stayed in their home for a couple of days before I released them into my garden where they are enjoying looking for nectar in the flowers. We have two more butterflies waiting to emerge from their cacoons I will update you all on their progess.
Our four tiny little caterpillars have eaten, lots and lots of their special food growing big and strong. It has been fancinating to watch their life cycle so far. We began with tiny eggs which then grew in to large hairy caterpillars, they have now moved to the top of their home and begun to spin their cacoons. I will soon move them into their new home and wait for their final transformation.
The fuzzy caterpillar
curled up on a leaf.
Spun her little chrysalis
and then fell fast asleep.
While she was sleeping
she dreamed that she could fly.
And later when she woke up
she was a butterfly.
The ECC caterpillars continue to eat and grow and grow and grow. We will watch as they transform into a cacoon and then into butterflies.
We have a late entry to our ECC Extreme Reading Challenge and this looks pretty extreme!
Our extreme reader was harnessed up at Clip and Climb in Glasgow and managed to scale the tallest tower but she also took a little time out to enjoy one of her favourite Emily Brown books too!
Well done extreme reader, thank you for taking part.
During the last week the children have taken part in a wide variety of science experiences, including a milk experiment. The children had four different milks, they added food colouring and washing up liquid and waited to discover what would happen. The children then investigated what happens to a balloon when vinegar and baking soda is mixed together in a bottle.

Thank you so much to the boys and girls from both the primary and ECC who took part in the Extreme Reading Challenge, please enjoy looking at the photographs below.
Please note – some of our extreme readers look like they are in danger but we can safely report, no one was injured and lots of good fun was had by all!
Thank you again for taking part, with kind regards, Mrs Nouillan
The ECC children will have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of experience relating to STEAM during March. The children will be able to relate this to the real world, as we are being visited by some of our parents to discuss their careers. Last week this included a Computer Engineer, a Software Engineer and a Computer Programmer.
We would like to thank all of our mystery readers whom gave up their time to come along to Dunlop ECC to read to the children. The children enjoyed listening to stories in English, Spanish, French and Urdu. The stories included Hoppy. Brown Bear, Football, Peekaboo Farm, Sophie Johnson Unicorn Expert and I Need a New Bum.
Thank you so much from all the staff and children.
The P6 Buddies joined us in the ECC this week engaging with the children that will be moving into P1 in August. They spent time looking at the children’s Learning Books talking about the different experiences evidenced. Some fantastic discussion taking place, the younger children in the setting also enjoying spending time with the P6 children.
After a 2 week break ,we are back! This week we have enjoyed exploring our Mini Forest again.The children had a dry day but it was certainly wet and muddy on the ground. Mudpies and looking for things in the mud encouraged the childrens imagination. “ive found a stingray”, also “im making mudpies for moles”. A slide was also made as they bottom shuffled down it. Treeclimbing is always exciting and encourages the children to enjoy the freedom and shouts of “im in my den” and “look at me!” as their confidence grows. We also had Miss Malloy our student who will be with us for the next month. Mrs Gray and myself are enjoying watching the children as they happily learn new things each week Regards Mrs Orr
