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

P1 bump up day was on Tuesday where the children got to meet their new classmates and have some time with their teacher. We also got to meet some of the boys and girls starting with us in August! An exciting day for all🥰 Graduation took place on Thursday with our families celebrating our achievement.👩‍🎓🧑‍🎓

Outdoors this week we have been continuing to explore positional language, creating our own houses for animals to live in, beside, on top of etc. We have also been enjoying the sunshine in which the sand and water play has been a favourite.

Curricular Areas – Numeracy, Health and Well-being

Indoors we are looking at the four modes of transport; road, air, sea and rail. This week we have focussed on road transport and began creating tally and bar charts to find out how the children travel to the ECC. Some children created their own stories after expressing interest in books. We will continue to develop this in exploring initial sounds and letter formation.

We are so proud of our children, they all did fantastic during graduation and we are so excited for their P1 journey.⭐️

Have a lovely weekend everyone and make sure to stay safe in the sun!

Health week

Busy week within the ECC this week celebrating health week.

Indoors we explored healthy foods and have a veg shop set up for imaginative play, this also led to exploring money and the value of coins.

Children created their own eat well plates in the creative area sharing their knowledge and interpretation of what they think is healthy foods. Also children used mirrors to talk about their feelings and were able to make self portrait.

Outdoors, Jan our HWB champion led the children in a variety of activities daily to support exercise and well-being.

We also had a few visitors through the week PC McPike, active schools and children took part in “potted sports”  with help from p6 buddies.

Remember ECC is closed Friday 26th, Monday 29th and Tuesday 30th. We will reopen Wednesday 31st May.

This week in the main playroom the children have been learning about king Charles with his upcoming coronation. We have been creating a song for the coronation using the wheels in the bus theme.

We also celebrated by having a party where we all got dressed up in our fancy attire and had a picnic for lunch.

In the art area the children have been making crowns for our celebrations on Friday. They have been using the ipad to look at pictures of different crowns.

In the outdoor area we had a special visit from one of our parents who brought in two baby lambs for us to see. We were able to feed them with a bottle and learned lots of information about them.
