We have now completed three full weeks into our new term where almost all of our children are beginning to settle into the ECC routine. Almost all parents/carers have had the opportunity to meet with key workers to complete care and planning plans. If you haven’t had this opportunity then please see your child’s key worker as soon as possible

.

The learning that has taken place within the playroom has been rhyming words and nursery rhymes.  The children have had the opportunity to role play their favourite nursery rhymes using puppets, story spoons, dressing up. They have been creative using dough and cutters leading towards rhymes  such as twinkle twinkle little star or 5 little ducks went swimming. Within the creative area the children continue to explore a wide range of collage and paints  enabling them to express themselves creatively.

Our numeracy focus this month is MNU: EXPLORING NUMBERS, UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY REPRESENT QUANTITIES AND ICAN USE THEM TO COUNT CREATE SEQUENCES AND DESCRIBE ORDER. Children have the opportunity to use the resources in our numeracy area allowing them to explore this concept and challenge themselves too.

Outdoors has been super busy due to the dry weather and the interest here has been building humpty dumptys  wall using construction blocks. Exploring the rhyme Miss polly using dolls and doctors equipment encouraging sharing and an opportunity to build relationships. Towards the end of the week children used paint and chalk to represent the song “I can sing a rainbow”.

The children have enjoyed fun filled Bookbug session with their parents/carers 📚

Our final day of the block of Bookbug is Monday 18th at 2.15pm.

Good afternoon,

Please see attached our poster with information with regards to the Bookbug session beginning 4th September.

Our last week before the summer holidays has been filled with lots of fun and laughter.

Our ECC beach party was a great success 🏝️ ☀️ 🕶️

This week in the main playroom we have been continuing our focus on the modes of transport. We have been exploring the Sea aspect. The children have been using books and the iPad to research  information on this mode of transport. We have been also made a water tray to explore the concept of floating and sinking.

Literacy/technology

This week in the art area we have been exploring free flow art experiences. We have been making transport pictures for our wall display.  We have also been keen to use the Lego and magnets to create different types of transport in the small word area.

Have a lovely weekend everyone, Alyson.

🩷 What a great cause & well done to all involved🩷

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!
