We have had a very busy week at Mauchline ECC.⭐️

Indoors we have began looking at transport as a focus. This week we looked at cars, trains and planes. We created a diagram in the tuff spot to find out how the children travel to nursery. We also created our own ECC race track and explored speed and distance, the children were able to share and take turn during this experience. Due to the children bringing in their own autumn leaves, we started to explore autumn print in the art area.

Curricular Areas – Numeracy, Health and Well-being, Expressive arts

Outdoors we have been role playing and building our own fires and using pipes/loose parts to put the fire “out”. The children have also been able to demonstrate Safe Sam and Healthy Hamble (SHANARRI) through creating their own obstacle courses where they could demonstrate team working and risk assessing skills. Another area of interest has been ball skills where many children were developing their catching, kicking and throwing skills.

It’s MATHS week at Mauchline ECC

Firstly thank you to all our families who participated in our home link.  We’ve shared your hard work with all the children and it’s on display in the ECC.  Well done.🌟

Indoor Learning

The children are still showing an interest in nursery rhymes and this week we’ve focused on counting rhymes and number rhymes.

The children used construction resources to build their own clock for Hickory Dickory Dock.  As well as reciting the rhyme we explored clocks looking at the numerals on the clock and discussing the concept of time.

The children have enjoyed acting out number rhymes such as 5 little men in a flying saucer, 5 little monkeys and 5 little ducks.

Almost all children had the opportunity to participate in small maths challenges involving number, shape, matching, patterns, colours, counting using both technology and maths resources.
