Merry Christmas

To our children & families:

We’re sorry that things are different this year,
But we wish you lots of merriment and cheer.

Your children have had lots of seasonal fun,
We’ve tried to make this year the top one.

Lots of Christmas arts and crafts have been made,
And with your homemade dough, we know that you have played.

Christmas this year will be different we know,
But there’s still time for fun, before you all go.

We can be sure to have lots more cheer,
Before Flowerbank closes this year.

Share out your gifts and wish for some snow,
Watch Christmas trees sparkle and twinkle and glow.

Make lots of memories, enjoy all your treats,
Have the most magical couple of weeks.

We look forward to the stories when we get back,
All about Santa and what he had in his sack.

So leave out some cookies and snacks for the reindeer,
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

From all the staff at Flowerbank ECC

🌈Rainbow Boxes🌈

Team Flowerbank made the decision this year to donate the money they would usually spend on Secret Santa to help create Rainbow Boxes. 🌈

We raised £270 which was spent on a variety of items to be used within the COVID wards at Crosshouse Hospital including phone chargers, lip balm and body lotion.

Thank you to all our wonderful staff for your contributions to this good cause. 🥰

World Nursery Rhyme Week – Day 5

The final day of World Nursery Rhyme Week 2020 and we end the week with “Miss Polly Had A Dolly”. Very little is known about the origin of this nursery rhyme which is a fantastic action song and rich with imaginative role play ideas.
“Experts in literacy and child development have discovered that if children know 8 nursery rhymes by heart by the time they’re 4 years old, they’re usually among the best readers by the time they’re 8”. (Fox, M 2001, Reading Magic, Harcourt).
