This week on our communication board you will see our Nursery Rhyme of the week is Humpty Dumpty and we have the Makaton displayed to go alongside which are King, horse and men. The Nursery Rhyme and Makaton aid your child’s communication and language skills so please try these out at home with your child. Please look out for the yellow disk being attached to the communication board in the next few days which will be a recording of Humpty Dumpty by an ECC volunteer from either the AM or PM session. It will be a different child each week.

Communication Board update
This week our Nursery Rhyme of the week is Twinkle, Twinkle Little star and our Makaton signs are star and sky please see the board for a demonstration of each sign these signs will change weekly. Newly added to our board is a yellow recordable disk which will be used to record different children reciting the Nursery Rhyme of the week please press the black button to hear these rhymes. We would appreciate if you could reinforce the Nursery Rhyme and Makaton at home as this aids communication and language skills.

New School Crossing Patrol
A new crossing is being installed at Dundonald Rd / Mount Village.
EAC is hoping to have the civils aspect completed during the October week.
The signals will be installed by a specialist contractor shortly after
which will have minimal disruption.
We encourage parents to use their new facility when it is up and running.
The crossing will be slightly to the right of the old site,
this is due to the proximity of the bus stop.
