Hello to all our families…….

Well we are nearly at the end of  session 20-21 and would just like to say that we are so proud of all the children (and parents/carers) here at Hurlford ECC. It has been a year of many challenges and we appreciate the continued support shown from all our families.

This year we have been unable to invite parents/carers into the setting to take part in any sessions or for the final celebration for the children. Instead we have put together this Celebration Video. None of us have had a dry eye by the end so we hope you enjoy.

Speaking for all of us it has been an absolute pleasure having the children with us that are moving up after the summer. We will miss you all and look forward to seeing you on the next chapter of your journey.  For our returners we can’t wait to have you back for lots of fun and learning.

From all the staff here at Hurlford ECC.

Please remember that we finish early tomorrow.

12:40pm – Red and Green

12:50pm – Purple and Blue

12:55pm – Yellow

Hello everyone…..

This year we will be celebrating the continuation of the children’s learning journey, whether they are moving up to Primary 1 or staying with us in the ECC by hosting a ‘SHORTS AND SHADES’ party!!

(Children can wear anything they wish too)

The party will be beached themed with games, dancing and even some treats!! A nice way to finish off the session

Unfortunately we cannot hold a Graduation party this year in which grown ups can be invited too but we will have a little surprise for all our families on the last week before the holidays.

REMEMBER THURSDAY 17TH JUNE – SHORTS AND SHADES PARTY!!!

We can accept donations of inflatables, beach balls, buckets and spades, bubbles etc

Any queries please speak to a member of staff!

Hi all,

Hope that you are doing ok isolating – not long to go.

The activity I have for you today, if you have access to a garden are you able to make a little house using sticks and leaves? If not in the garden could you find materials around the house?

Send us your creations!!

Hi Blues, Yellows and Purples. 💙💛💜

Since we having to spend some time at home this week I thought we could use our imaginations and have some fun creating with junk modelling.

Have a look in your cardboard / paper recycling  bin and see what you can find to make a fabulous creation. You could maybe make a rocket, a car, a castle or even a car ramp like Calum did this morning. He used cardboard boxes, toilet roll tubes and tape to stick it all together.

I can’t wait to see your amazing creations.

Debbie 😊

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately this year we are unable to invite our families starting with us in August for Session 2021-22, into the setting for an induction due to Covid restrictions and our cohort groups.

This year we will be doing a virtual one.  This will include all information you need to know before starting, what we do in the ECC, and meeting our staff team.

This induction will continue in 3 presentations over the next 2 weeks.  Some of the information may change as we return on 19th August due to Covid restrictions so please keep checking our Glow blog for information.
