ECC new display this week

The children have started to talk about Halloween in the ECC. We have been creating drawings of what we would like to dress up as for our Halloween party in the ECC.

ECC update

The children in both TRIO’s in the ECC have been exploring numbers for the last 3 weeks. They have participated in activities such as number hunts, painting, number games, number matching, creating number lines, numbers in playdough, shaving foam, sugar. They have been very busy which I am sure you have enjoyed seeing evidence of all of these activities on your child’s individual glow blog. We will move onto a new learning focus after the October holidays. Have a lovely break and we will se you all back on Tuesday 20th October.

ECC Rhyme of the fortnight

Rhymes are a very important aspect in early years and promote speech, rhyming words and much more in a fun filled way. Please practice the following rhyme at home with your child. Please let us know how they are getting on with the rhyme by sharing a short video on their individual blog. We will be practicing in the ECC too. Please encourage the appropriate makaton sign with the corresponding word. Thank you for your support 🙂

Health and Wellbeing

Due to the school closure, areas of the Health and Well-being curriculum were unable to be completed last session. For this reason, teachers will be covering certain aspects of the Health and Well-being RSHP (Relationships, Sexual Health, Parenthood) outcomes throughout October.                                                                                  Parental leaflets for each CfE level can be found under Health and Well-being in the information tab in the top menu. These will allow you to be aware of the experiences and outcomes pupils will cover and what they will learn during these lessons appropriate to the age and stage of the pupils.

 

The BIG Anti-Bullying Assembly 2020

Had today been a normal Monday,  Mrs. McKee, Mrs. Lawson and myself would have been taking the P1-3 and P4-7 assemblies and discussing the above subject with the children – Anti Bullying.                 Attached are some resources for parents which could be used to discuss this important matter with your children at home.                                 There is also a document with ideas to support children with worries or anxiety about being back in the school environment.              Mrs. McLaughland
