Could all parents please double check their child’s nursery jumpers as some have gone missing which have names on them. If there has been a mix up could you please return jumpers to the ECC. Thank you 🙂

Parking issues
Unfortunately today we had a complaint from a Dundonald Road resident who said he was unable to get into his runway as two cars were parked across the entrance to it. Also, parking on the pavement across the road from the school makes manoeuvring in and out the school entrance much more hazardous.
We also had cars parked on the roundabout this afternoon – one with no driver in the car.
We would like to ask all parents to be courteous drivers and park in allocated car park bays or allow an extra few minutes to park slightly further away and walk in. This would greatly help the congestion on these darker, wet days and help keep the children safe.
Many thanks for your cooperation.
Primary 2/1 had lots of fun making firework pictures.
Nursery Rhyme of the week and Makaton signs
Our Nursery Rhyme of the week is Incy Wincy spider along with this weeks Makaton signs which link to our rhyme – Spider, up and down. Our top tip is still about adding on a word to your child’s sentence. Please find each of these displayed in our ECC Cloakroom on our communication board. This board is changed weekly ( on a Wed). We would appreciate if you could sing this rhyme with your child at home and point out the rhyming words throughout. Thank you.
Anti-Bullying and Dyslexia Awareness Day
WEAR SOMETHING BLUE DAY
To show support for Dyslexia Awareness Week and Anti-Bullying Week, we will be having a ‘wear something blue’ day on Friday 10th November. The whole school are invited to wear a blue accessory such as a wig, hat, socks, ribbons along with their normal school uniform.
This will be the focus of the assembly and pupils will be invited to complete a survey about anti-bullying. Also, pupils will learn more about dyslexia and anti-bullying in class.
