‘Big’

For the next 2 weeks we are going to be learning about  ‘big’. We have been discussing things that are big and not big in and around the ECC. The children have been taking part in a range of activities to help understand the concept of big. To enhance your child’s understanding please encourage them to look for things at home or when you’re out and about that are big and not big.               e.g this box is big but this box is not big.

Please post photos of things that are big and not big on your child’s E-portfolio.

Well done to these P5’s who enjoyed their first session at running club today.  We had a fantastic turn out & hope to keep our numbers high throughout the session.

We also had a great run at lunchtime with 21 P6 children.

We are always looking for parents to join us as we progress through the year.  If you would like to run with us at 8.30am or 12.30pm on a Wednesday, please contact Mrs McKee at the school.
