Good morning 😃

I hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Today’s daily task is to learn Row, row, row your boat 🚣‍♂️

This is a fun, active nursery rhyme.  Sit with your child on the floor and pretend you are rowing, or make a boat with pillows, cardboard box etc.  What else might you see from a boat?

Row row row your boat

Remember and send in pictures!!

Have a good day everyone!

Good morning to everyone 😊

Well we have come to the end of the first week and would like to say well done! We have loved all the feedback and pictures of the children.

We understand that these are very uncertain times and that everyone has been adjusting this week. We would like to thank all our families for engaging in our home learning and do realise that these tasks can be difficult in a busy home, and to remind you all that you are doing a fantastic job!

Going forward from Monday each day a different member of staff will put up a daily task for the whole of the ECC to partake in, these will cover Literacy, Numeracy, Health & Wellbeing etc.  Some days there will also be additional tasks to cover our SHANARRI indicators like our Active Andy.

If you would like individual tasks set for your child to aid in developing their individual targets then please contact their keyworker.

Friday’s Daily Task 

For today I have attached a link to A Nurse Dotty Book – this book tells the story of Dave the Dog that is worried about the Coronavirus.  Your little ones might not quite understand that they cannot go out to the park to play or to see their friends and family so hopefully this might help.

Good afternoon Reds,

Hope you are all enjoying doing these fun activities at home.

A game we love to play in the ECC is I Spy.  Can you collect some items like;

• sock
• apple
• toothbrush
• pencil
• ball

You could have 4 or 5 items and see if your wee one can guess what item it is by saying the initial sound for example “Can you see something that begins with a?”  And use the letter how it sounds in the word.

or

Play it with colour and have them tell you what is – red.

or

Who do you know who’s name starts with for example; m for mum – again try and use the sound of the letter as it is in word.

This helps to encourage listening and also identifying initial letter in words.  If your child can see the objects this helps them with this game.

Have fun and keep sending me your pictures.

Good morning everyone

I hope you are all enjoying the activity ideas that the staff have been setting and trying these at home.

If you would like individual tasks for your child please email their keyworker and they will be happy to speak through targets set for your child and what you could work on at home along with some ideas.

Today’s daily task is a numeracy one.

Find as many different spoons as you can. Line them up in order of size. – Speak about the different sizes use language like longer, shorter, what one is the longest? the shortest? are any of the spoons the same size?

Count the spoons – how many did you collect?

Good afternoon Red Group.

Your task for today is to enjoy a story.  Let your child choose a book this can be a favourite story or one you haven’t read before.

When looking at your chosen book think about the Author and Illustrator. We discuss these in ECC so “Who writes the words?” and “who draws the pictures?”.

Speak about the characters in the story… ask the children if they know what might happen next?

Once the book is finished try going back over the story. “What was your child’s favourite part?” “Was there any parts they did not like?”.

Amanda

Good morning!!
