Great turn out of parents and grandparents for our Healthy Fun with food workshops

Week Beginning 5th February, the children were learning all about keeping safe online.
They heard the story about Smartie the penguin and many entered the competition run by East Ayrshire council
where they designed a hat for Smartie.
parents were issued with an information booklet from NSPCC

We celebrated different countries and cultures that were relevant to the families within our centre. This was a great success due to the involvement from our families bringing in different things relating to the countries each day, which allowed us to create a hands on display.

Monday- we had a French day, Katherine’s mum taught us some words and phrases and we had croissants and crusty bread for snack
Tuesday- We celebrated all things Scottish, tasting haggis, neaps and tatties and tried out some Scottish dancing
Wednesday- We learned all about Italy and made our own Pizzas at snack
Thursday- Ghana, we tried on some traditional costumes and played special instruments
Friday- We made some Polish head dresses and had a variety of polish food and drinks for snack

We were learning all about Owls in the nursery. Some children were even brave enough to hold them.

As part of our Health and Wellbeing programme, The children have been learning about the effects of second hand smoke through a story and puppet “Toby The Nosy cat”
Parent Information leaflets have been issued

The children at Riccarton ECC and Whatriggs ECC joined together to perform to the parents. This was a huge success and both centres look forward to more transition events in the new year
