We have 6 new HNC and HND students with us in the ECC this year. They are going to be with us from now up until the end of June. These students will be working alongside practitioners to support your children’s development and learning the role of a practitioner in early learning and childcare. In order for them to complete their course effectively students have to carry out observations on children which they use to write reflective accounts. No children’s names will ever be used on these observations. They are also required to create a floorbook with the children which consists of evidence of activities in which they have carried out. They are encouraged to include photographs in this floorbook. Photographs of children will only be used and accessed by students and their college lecturer.
We will be having an information session for parents to find out why we carry out our intergenerational project. This session is for parents only and will give lots of information on what we do during our care home visits and why. Mrs Hendrie and Laura Haggarty from care inspectorate will be present at this session to answer any questions or queries in which you may have. Sessions will take place on Monday 18th November at 11.15am and Thursday 21st November at 2.30pm in the meeting room. Please let us know below if you are able to make these sessions.
The workshop will begin with an introduction to the Curriculum for Excellence and how this translates into the high quality learning experiences which your children enjoy in our school.
Following this, we will host an interactive session where you can learn more about how you can support your child’s literacy development at home.
Your child will join you for this part of the session. Following the workshop, you will be gifted a home pack complete with fun activities for you to play at home.
These workshops will take place on Tuesday 12th November at 9.15am and 2.15pm.
