Hello everyone,<\/p>\n
We hope that the snow didn\u2019t interrupt too many of your plans this week and that you took the time to be able to just have some fun. Sometimes it\u2019s good to put all your plans to one side and just laugh, feel the cold on your cheeks and appreciate the simple things, we know we did while playing with the children in the snow in the Hub on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
This morning nursery staff have attended a virtual puppetry workshop hosted by Starcatchers, Scotland\u2019s National Arts & Early Years Organisation. We are working with Starcatchers to devise activities to develop creativity both indoors and outdoors and in the local community. We will be in touch soon to share resources and activities to try at home or in the local community. If you would like to find out more about the work of Starcatchers please click on the link: https:\/\/www.starcatchers.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n We hope that your family will really enjoy joining in a Google Classroom Bookbug session with Mrs Flower and Mrs Greig next week. We would also like to say thank you to one of our nursery parents who had a great suggestion. As such, we look forward to sharing lots of recordings produced by various staff, from your child\u2019s building, reading stories on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in addition to our usual daily Google Meet. We\u2019re sure your child will love seeing some more familiar faces in addition to their keyworkers.<\/p>\n We are pleased to advise that the new online Early Learning and Childcare application process is now live for new three or four year old children on the East Renfrewshire Council website: https:\/\/www.eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk\/nursery-places<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0Applications require to be submitted by 28 February 2021.<\/p>\n If you have any enquiries regarding changing attendance patterns or days for 2021\/21 please direct them to earlylearningandchildcare@eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk<\/a><\/p>\n We will be in touch again towards the middle of next week, subject to the First Minister\u2019s update on Tuesday regarding the arrangements for nursery children\u2019s return on Monday 22nd<\/sup> February.
