The children here at the ECC have been eagerly participating in bubble play within our outdoor environment. This is a fun physical activity that you can do at home with your child to stimulate interactions. Please click on the link above for more information!

 

Our Nursery Rhyme of the week is still Incy Wincy Spider this is to allow staff time to track the children’s knowledge of the rhyme which will be collated by Miss Clark and the data will be shared with you here on the blog over the next few weeks.

Our Nursery Rhyme of the week is Incy Wincy spider. Please try this at home pointing out the rhyming words to your child. Miss Clark is tracking the children’s knowledge of each rhyme before we focus on it in partnership with parents/carers and afterwards and I will share this data with you in the next few weeks.

Next week we would love to hear all about the children’s achievements out of school. We know we have many successful athletes, swimmers, artists, horse riders to name only a few.

On Wednesday this week, 25th April, we would love the children who have achieved something outwith school in 2018 to bring in their certificates, medals, cups etc. to allow us to photograph them and showcase all the talents they have.

Looking forward to seeing what comes in…!

This sounds like a fantastic idea… If anyone manages to get a ticket, please bring it in and we’ll put a photo of you and your ticket on the blog. Happy reading!!

East Ayrshire Libraries are delighted to be working in collaboration with the SPFL Trust and Kilmarnock Football club to bring the 4-4-2 Reading Challenge to local children.

As a reward for reading and using the library we are offering free tickets to Kilmarnock home games. 

All that primary aged children need to do is borrow 4 books from the library (on their own card, not a group card) and when they return the fourth book they get a card stamped which they take to Rugby Park to exchange for 1 free child ticket and 1 discounted adult ticket on selected home games.  The challenge runs until the end of May but completed vouchers can be redeemed until the end of October.
