The ECC staff have been working very hard to develop our outdoor learning area today. We are delighted to show off our music station area, water play area, den building area and mud kitchen. Thank you very much for all of the donations we had to help create our mud kitchen and music station. Keep an eye out for our new story area coming soon!

Can I please remind all ECC parents that children have access to outdoor learning on a daily basis, please ensure that your child has suitable footwear to allow them to access this, they will get messy!!!

Last week we  introduced Word Aware,  for the majority of our pre-school children/parents this will be something they are familiar with however for our ante-pre children/parents this is new.

Every second week the children will be introduced to a new word and learn the concept of the word through small group activities. The word for the next two weeks is ‘wet’.  Can you talk to your child about things that are wet and not wet e’g at bath time hair, face, body.

If you want further information on word aware please click on the link below or feel free to speak to ECC staff.  http://thinkingtalking.co.uk/word-aware/

A massive thank you to everyone who attended todays Bookbug session it was great to see so much  support.

The next sessions will be held on Tuesday 8th October, if you would like to attend any of these sessions please add your name to the list on the communication board. These sessions are limited to 10 spaces on a first come first served basis so be quick if you want to join the fun.

This morning, Miller Stewart was the worthy recipient of the first Gold card of the session.  Our Gold cards, earning 100 House points, are saved for very special occasions where our children demonstrate our school values in action.

With permission from Miller, I have shared his letter which explains beautifully why his actions were recognised with a Gold card.  I know that Reece was extremely touched by Miller’s kindness and I’m sure that Gavin Robertson’s family will be too.

Well done Miller – you are a credit to your family and our school.  We are very proud of you!
