Hello everyone,

As we are approaching Spring we would love to be able to give our ECC playground some much needed tlc. This will involve;

• Painting
• Clearing/brushing/litter picking
• weeding/pruning
• To break up our bus at side of building

We are also interested in any of our more crafty parents that could perhaps make anything for us? Just a few examples

We are also looking for some planters that we can use in the playground, ideally these are ones that are being recycled that you no longer use as we are aiming to achieve a Clean Green Award.

We will be hoping, weather permitting to do this on Tuesday 7th March from 12 pm – 2:30pm. The children will access the school playground on this afternoon to allow us time to tidy up.

Please complete the form via link below on whether you can help and what area you could help with.

We greatly appreciate any help.

Our Communication Board is displayed outside of the playroom and will be updated monthly. Information on our board will also be available online via this link.
Please speak to a member of staff if you would like any further information.

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.

Good morning,

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.

Any questions please just ask a member of staff.

Christmas Fayre

Tuesday 20th December – we are hosting our first Nativity/Christmas show. This will be from 10-11am. There are 2 adults allowed to attend for each child.  Please come to the ECC playground.

I must insist that parent/carers DO NOT film or take pictures of their child during any performance. We will take pictures and record, this will then be put on children’s learning journals. We ask that this is NOT posted on any social media sites.
