It’s been a busy week in the ECC.⭐️ Indoors we have been looking at road safety and the green cross code. We continued to explore small world, using vehicles and road signs through play.  We made some road signs in the art area as well as recognising what senses we need to use whilst out and about.

Whenever we go to woods or explore the community we make sure to sing our song when crossing the street.
🎶Stop, look and listen.
Before you cross the street.
Use your eyes, use your ears.
Before you use your feet!🎶

In the art area, whilst creating road signs, we started discussing shape and used various shape objects to create pictures. We are all becoming a lot more confident with shape recognition.

Outdoors we have been able exploring den building and construction. This links into our trips to the woods and also our interest in camping. We began incorporating animals into our play and making houses for them.

Thank you, Cara.

We were delighted to welcome back all our wonderful children and families to the ECC this week and hope you all had a super Easter break 🐣🐰🎉

The children were very happy to be back with their friends and engaging with the learning opportunities on offer.  📖✍️📚📏✂️🎨

Indoors the children have been exploring signs around the ECC and in the local environment. We are learning to spot signs and understand their meanings.

Curriculum links: Literacy

We’ve also been showing an interest in vehicles and designing our own cars.  We’ve been exploring the forces of push and pull through vehicles too.  This interest has led to learning road safety skills.

Curriculum links: Maths, Science, Health and Well-being

Outdoors the children have been enjoying the warmer weather and learning how to keep safe in the sun shine☀️🕶.  We discussed the importance of wearing hats to protect our heads and create shade for our face.   We’ve constructed shelters and dens to provide us with a shady spot to rest and play under.  This has sparked an interest in camping as the children have been making sleeping bags and packing their rucksacks to go on a camping trip to the jungle! We’ve also been constructing a campfire and learning safety around the fire.

Have a lovely weekend 🕶☀️
