Santa’s letter!!🎅🏻
The children today received a blank Santa letter home with them. If they wish to receive a reply from Santa please fill out the letter and post it in the special Hurlford ECC postbox in the orange hut before Friday 11th December. 📮
Any letters posted after this date may not receive a reply! So please remember before Friday 11th December 2020.
Santa is looking forward to reading these 😁
Here is some information on upcoming events within the ECC.
We have had a few parents ask about Christmas cards for the children. We will be able to do this but due to the current restrictions this will just be slightly different this year. The ECC postbox will be available from the 1st December 2020 for the children to post their cards. We will empty the post box on a Monday ONLY and send these home with the children on that date. We ask that the last date for any Christmas cards to be brought in to be Friday 11th December, any after this date unfortunately would not be handed out to the children.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Hello everyone,
If anyone has any concerns regarding their child’s speech and language development? The speech and language team are now offering virtual drop ins. This will be a chance for you to speak face to face with a Speech and Language Therapist who can provide advice and guidance. You can attend with or without your child.
All information is available below!
Please also feel free to speak to a member of staff regarding any concerns you have .

If you are looking for something a little extra this Christmas with usual plans not going ahead, why not try this out!!
Santa’s coming to Hurlford!
Hello everyone,
As you will all be aware the weather is starting to get colder. The children have access to outdoors every day in the ECC. We have weather proof outdoor suits for each individual child that they keep at their peg and use daily.
We are asking if parents/carers could supply a hat and a pair of gloves for their child that will be kept in the ECC for the children to use daily. Please ensure these have your child’s name or initials are on the items.
If you need any support in this matter please speak with a member of staff!

The children all had a great time today in their pyjamas for children in need.
Hello everyone,
A huge well done to all the children for completing their homework task for last night. The children were to look for circle and square shaped objects within their home. We got some fantastic answers like; clocks, cushions, mirrors, buttons on the remote control.
The homework task for tonight is to find rectangle and triangle shapes in and around the house.
If you could show your child a picture of or an object of either a rectangle or triangle first and then send them off around the home to find objects that are these shapes. If you walk down to the ECC or even drive, try to encourage your child to look out for these shapes as well as circles and squares.
What can you find???
We will be asking the children tomorrow (Friday 13th)

REMEMBER IT IS PYJAMA DAY TOMORROW!! WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL IN YOUR PYJAMAS.
Hello everyone,
This week the children have been learning all about 2D shapes, being able to name them and how 2D shapes are all around us!
We are looking for the children to complete a shape hunt at home?
The 2 shapes we would ask to cover are;
Can you get the children to look for circles in the house, count how many they can see and name the objects? The same for squares. We will ask the children tomorrow how they got on and what circles or squares they could see in their house. It would be good if the children could see the shape to begin with for example; drawing a circle or using a plate.
Have fun and we cant wait to hear all the objects they find.

CHILDREN IN NEED
This Friday – 13th November – we would like to invite all the children in the ECC to come dressed in their pyjamas!! (This is optional)
We will be learning all about the Children in Need charity and the wonderful work they do, and take part in various activities throughout the day!
JOIN US ON FRIDAY IN YOUR PYJAMAS!!!
Normally for this charity we would ask for donations to be made through us to send to Children in Need.
Due to the current restrictions we would ask any of our families looking to make a donation to this directly to the BBC Children in Need. Follow this link to the website;

Many thanks and we look forward to seeing all these pyjamas.
