Big welcome back to everyone at Mauchline ECC we hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣

This week we’ve began focusing on people who help us-fire fighters and exploring in our very own fire station. The children have been using their imagination whilst role playing as fire fighters and the dangers within the role 🔥. We would be very grateful if any parents who have any knowledge or experience of being a fire fighter, would like to get involved with the children’s learning at the ECC we would really appreciate it.
