ECC Learning Week Commencing 11.2.26-13.2.26

I n d o o r s –

This week the children have continued to explore ‘People Who Help Us’ through constructing their own models and designs, using their problem solving and imaginative skills. Some children created hospital beds using construction materials for their midwifery ward and were seen role playing with their peers.

Some children used the construction materials to retell the story of ‘The Billy Goats Gruff’.

The children had the opportunity to explore the valentines sensory tray ‘spreading the love’ as the children were saying. Creating different valentines potions.

The children have also enjoyed role playing in the home corner, as a cafe, serving one another food, applying their real life experiences to their imaginative play. To further extend children’s interests we will create a cafe in the home corner.

All children had the opportunity to create a valentine craft to take home to someone special.

Links to the Curriculum; Literacy, Technology, Social Studies, Science, Expressive Arts.

Outdoors this week the children created a valentines sensory tray – making a love bug potion, pouring and filling, mixing new colours, sharing and turn taking with their peers during sensory exploration.

In the construction area the children were making their own obstacle courses, it initially began with a few children in a small area before it extended throughout ECC garden, using lots of various parts of the garden for their obstacle course. Lots of children enjoyed and engaged well, developing their gross motor skills.

Huge thank you to ChipnLogs who delivered us bark for our outdoor area, it is greatly appreciated. The children worked together as team to unload the bark, working with friends to get the garden ready for spring. We also had plant pots donated by whisky bond, huge thanks to them it is very much appreciated. We will utilise these for our Eco Committee as we will plant fruit and vegetables in the ECC.
