Hello everyone,
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all involved in making the video for us! It means so much and I feel so privileged to work with such wonderful families and all the children, that I am missing so much. We are so proud of you all and how amazing you have been through these times. We look forward to seeing you all, hopefully soon ❤️💙💜💚💛
Thank you again 🥰

Good morning,
For today I thought we could focus on circles…what circles can you find in your house or around the garden?
Let’s do a shape hunt!!!
Let us know how you get on.

Hello everyone,
For today let’s get a little creative.
You will need;
Let’s see if you can draw some pictures and use what you have gathered from outdoors to finish off your picture or you can make a picture using just the materials you have collected.
I hope you enjoy 😁
Maria
Good morning ❤️💜💚💛💙
I hope you are all well! With the weather not being as nice I thought for daily task today you could do a counting game. We have played this one in the ECC on our promethean board.
Can you see how many cupcakes you have to give the teddy bear?

I thought I would share something I enjoyed as a little girl. You can do at home or out on your walks.
It’s Easy Peasy Surface Rubbings.
All you will need is paper, crayons or pencils and that’s all. 🖍🖌🖍🖌
Find something you would like to make a print of. A wall, fance , tree, leaves or flowers for example. 🌳🍁🍂🌸🌼
Place your paper on them and use your crayon or pencil to rub over the top to see your picture. Has it any pattern ? You can do this as many times as you like and anywhere.
Have lots of fun and as always i love seeing your pictures🤗

Hello everyone,
After the staff speaking with a few of you yesterday I know that some of you may be feeling anxious about your child starting Primary 1 after the holidays and getting the children prepared for this. I want to reassure you all that you are doing an amazing job in these unprecedented times. It is important that your child is happy, confident and content. Children have a way of amazing us all the time and I am confident that they will surprise us when the time comes. If you want to help your child along with some skills try helping them become more independent. It was a home learning task – to put on own clothes, socks and shoes. Putting on a jacket and being able to zip it up, and even organising their belongings so for example get a backpack and ask them to put in specific things like a pencil, paper and keep practising at this.
We will continue daily tasks to help keep the children busy and learning. A few of you have raised concerns about children writing their name. Here is an idea of skills we would be working on within the ECC to aid fine motor control.
In Primary 1 your child will be taught how to write their name so please don’t be worried about this, it could be they are simply not ready for that task yet! 😁
i hope this helps if you need any other information or any guidance then please just let us know.

Good morning everyone.
I hope we are all keeping well? Has any of your sunflowers started peeking through the soil? I know some of them are! well done and keep up the good work. I am so proud of you all for being responsible and taking care of your plants.
I would like for you to get a bit active today.
In the ECC we practice lot’s of skill at gym and in the outdoors. Have you been practising skipping? It is a hard one, remember to change feet . What about some hopping? it takes a lot of balance to make it a better challenge maybe you could try balancing a a small potato or ball on a spoon – no cheating!!
Let me know how it goes. Have fun and remember sometimes if you find it difficult just have a small break and try again.
Amanda
Well boys and girls!
