ECC Donations Please

In the ECC we go through lots of liquid soap, hankies, wet wipes and kitchen roll.  We would greatly appreciate it if parents/carers could donate at least two of any of these items please.

To prevent us running out of storage, we ask that only Green and Orange group parents donate this time please.

Thank you

ECC October Home Learning Task

For our home learning this October, we would like to encourage you to put a post on your child’s e-portfolio.  It can be something that you and your child did over the holiday that they would like to share with us in the ECC.

Thank you

This is an optional task.

E-Portfolio Workshop

As part of our improvement plan for every child to have an e-portfolio, we would like to invite parents to attend this workshop to support your child in their learning.  These 20 minute workshops will run during the school parent evenings and are open to parents in the ECC and school.

For our younger children, parents will be given their child’s username and password at the workshop.  We will show you how to post and comment on a post as this is an important part of our parental partnership.

The ECC will be open for a parent drop in session on Wednesday 11th October between 4-5pm.

Please complete the form below if you are able to attend the workshops.
