Good morning,

From Monday we will be taking children to visit the Dick Institute, we will be travelling by bus at approx 9:45am, we will be having our lunch at the library and will return to ECC for 1-1:30pm.

We sent home permission/emergency contact forms this week for the trip, if you have yet to return can you please complete and return ASAP.  If we do not have a form your child will not be able to participate. If you have any queries please contact school on 01563 525098 or email me on maria.paterson@eastayrshire.org.uk

We will be taking the children in their keyworker groups.

This is a great opportunity for children to learn about their community, to enjoy some books and explore the museum. We are really looking forward to sharing this experience.

Family connect is a great opportunity to work with our community practitioners to engage and gain a better understanding of your child’s learning journey.  This will take place within the school, we will be working closely with our families on themes such as social well-being and numeracy.

We are very pleased to be able to provide this opportunity within Hurlford ECC.

Family Connect will take place from Wednesday 22nd February 2023 from 12:45pm-2:45pm, and run for 6 week block. This will consist of 1 hour with practitioners and then 1 hour working with your child. There will be different themes each week with a kit will being sent to your home before the sessions start, you will be expected to bring this along with you to the sessions.

Family Connect is for pre-school children ONLY as part of our transition process before starting Primary 1 in August 2023. We have very limited spaces so please only provide your name if you are able to commit to the 6 week block.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our Christmas Show. The children have been practicing very hard and are looking forward to performing.

The show starts at 10am. Please could you come to the ECC playground to enter into the ECC. There will be a register to sign on entry.

We will start off our show with our take on the Nativity story, then have a short break in which tea/coffee and biscuits will be available to allow children to have a quick costume change and then will finish up with our concert.

Could I ask please that if possible could your child come wearing a Christmas jumper with a white t-shirt or top underneath.
