As previously mentioned our blog will be used once I have the relevant permissions returned from all children and begin using as the blog more regularly to highlight visually what each group are doing throughout the week. Parents can look at the blog whenever they feel like it and look at it with their children at home.

There will be pictures of room set ups and learning experiences to show you what we are doing within the ECC.
* Please note this will be used as often as we can and sporadically throughout each week as we try to juggle running the ECC, looking after your children in the ECC playrooms and all other early years tasks *

We will also have termly reports for all parents regarding your child’s progress for that term under our 4 curriculum headings which will go out to parents late October, January, April and June.

These will go out via email and will be expected to be returned with parental comments to the ECC through email, so please make sure you are accessing all weekly newsletters via email and that I as Depute manager have all relevant up to date emails for your child.

 

We are also going to introduce weekly our “Talk to me Tuesdays/Thursdays” after the October holidays where your child will come home with stickers on their clothing regarding what they have been learning during their time within their cohorts. These stickers will be aimed at you having a discussion with your child about what they have done at nursery based on what is on their sticker. This is to let you know specific things your child has learned or enjoyed at nursery throughout the week and is a talking opportunity for you and your child.

I will also continue with weekly newsletters that will detail what your child has been doing in their cohorts, what they have been doing at group times in their cohorts, any relevant information or dates and snack for the following week.

I hope you find this information useful about how we will be going forward with communication about the ongoing learning and progress within the ECC and your child’s progress during this academic session and unprecedented times.

kind regards
