St Andrews Day – Wednesday 30th Nov

November 30 St Andrews Day

On Wednesday we will be celebrating St Andrews Day. The children are welcome to wear a touch of tartan if they wish.

We may try a few of our Scottish favourites such as haggis, neeps and tatties and a wee bit of shortbread.  We will also explore Scottish tartan – have you got your own tartan? Perhaps you could show your child the colours before next Wednesday.

Any questions please speak with a member of staff. Image result for st andrews day

 

Solihull Approach Courses

The Solihull Approach has been used for guidance in early years for quite some time. They also offer lots of support for parent/carers. We have been given free access to courses available on the site and I recommend taking full advantage of this.

I have attached a link below that will take you to the site where you can complete courses in areas you may be unsure about with your child. For example, understanding your child, understanding their feelings and more.

If this is something you would be interested in, all it will take up is some of your time. Please click on link and apply the access code TARTAN. This will lead you to make an account.

A wee reminder that parent appointments are this week, and the flu immunisation is on Thursday. I have no further details regarding times for flu immunisation as it is a team that is coming into the school to provide service. I would imagine it will be in the morning from 9am but once I have further information, I will of course let you all know.

ECC Flu Vaccination

Good morning,

Yesterday afternoon you will have received home with your child a flu vaccination form. In previous years this would have been done at your GP surgery. We are now within a position to offer this in the school for Early Years however, an adult MUST come along and be with their child before it can be administered. Please remember to return form completed and signed.

I am unsure on the exact date and time that this will take place and will keep you updated as best we can. If you would rather take your child to GP for their vaccination that would be fine just opt out on the form.

Any questions please ask a member of staff.

Upcoming events

Hello everyone,

We are looking forward to welcoming you back tomorrow after the October break. A little reminder on events we have on this week;

Wednesday 26th October Danceathon – the children will be participating in a special day with lots of dancing including zumba, sticky kids, teaching them some new moves, as well as some of our usual favourites. Can you please dress your child in comfortable clothes and shoes to take part. If you have yet to bring in sponsor money please do so by Friday 28th.

Friday 28th October Halloween Party – we will be hosting a spooktacular party on Friday that the children can come dressed up for.  We will be playing games, dooking for apples and ofcourse a party snack.

We appreciate all the effort made by our families and are looking forward to an exciting and eventful week.

If you have any questions please ask a member of staff.

 

Upcoming Events

Hello everyone,

If you are attending the Harvest Disco tonight, we hope you all have a fantastic time. A few reminders –

  • 6:15 – 7:15 
  • Adults must stay with children from ECC during this time.
  • If you haven’t yet got a ticket yet, please get them from the school main office.

Sponsored Danceathon

You will remember you received home a sponsor form for our sponsored danceathon on Wednesday 26th October.  If you could possibly return these by Friday 14th October it would be greatly appreciated. This will help the ECC hugely in our plans for festive activities with the children.

Halloween Party

On Friday 28th October the ECC will be hosting a Halloween Party. The children can come to nursery that day all dressed up in their costumes.

Although Halloween is certainly a spooky time of year…. please be aware that we have young children in the ECC and therefore recommend no masks or costumes that are too scary.

If you have any questions, please ask a member of staff

Sponsored Danceathon

Good afternoon everyone,

We are delighted to announce we will be holding a Danceathon on Wednesday 26th October for all the children in the ECC.

Your child will have a sponsor sheet home with them today or tomorrow. Please return this with any funds raised before Friday 14th October 2022. We are hoping to use the funds raised in our Danceathon for our Christmas plans this year that we can enjoy and share with all our families.

On the day of the danceathon we ask that children come wearing leggings/trousers/shorts and a t-shirt and comfortable shoes. We plan on doing a lot of dancing!!!

I will put out a reminder of this closer to the date.

We really appreciate all our families cooperation in making our ECC great for the children.

If you have any questions please ask.

Water Bottles

Hello everyone,

We are asking that each child bring in their own water bottle to the ECC that can be kept with us. We will ensure that their names are on these.

The children do have access to drinking water throughout their day in the ECC, but we believe this will make is even more accessible for them both indoors and outdoors. It will also encourage children to stay hydrated throughout their busy days within the ECC.

These bottles will be for water ONLY.

If you are having any issues in supplying a bottle, please let a member of staff know.
