Some of the boys and girls in the ECC enjoyed a bear hunt outdoors with Mr Muir this week. They went swooshing through the long grass, splashing through the river, squelching through the mud, tip toeing through the forest, slipping through the snow storm, then crawling through the den to find a bear!
The children in the ECC have had a fantastic time over the last few weeks investigating their first context for learning.
TRIO 1 have been exploring 2D shapes. Learning experiences which have been provided for them include:
Shape hunts outdoors, creating shapes with playdough, creating shape mini beast animals using pebbles, creating shape rockets using letters in their name, drawing a variety of 2D shapes and many more.
TRIO 2 have been investigating colour. Learning experiences which have been provided for them include:
marble painting, bubble painting, splatter painting, colour mixing, colour matching using a variety of materials, colour hunts outdoors and many more.
Children’s interests and views are taken into consideration when planning activities and contexts for learning for each TRIO to explore and learn about. A mind map will be created with each TRIO after the September weekend to determine what the children would like to learn about next. Have a lovely long weekend.
School and ECC will be closed Thursday , Friday and Monday for the September weekend.
If you have any concerns about your child’s speech and language you can contact the speech and language team on the helpline or arrange to virtually attend a drop in session.
