It has been wonderful to see all the smiling young faces back at Busby ELCC and to welcome all our new children into the ELCC family.
In these early weeks the children have settled in very well, enjoying one another’s company and trying out all that is on offer.

In Arran building the Pink and Yellow groups are currently based in the Katrine playroom. Here many of them have shown a strong interest in dinosaurs, so we have been reading lots of dinosaur books and facts, making fossils in moulds and salt dough bones, and creating a dinosaur landscape with a working volcano….

Making Fossils

Painting our Dinosaur Landscape

Making an eruption (with vinegar and bicarbonate of soda)

The children have also been enjoying lots of sensory experiences with ice shapes, sand, shaving foam, herbs, petals and water.

Making play dough for the day

The children love their regular sessions outdoors and in the MUGA , developing and showing off their physical and creative skills.


Rainy days not a problem…

Exploring the Gruffalo story sack (Literacy) and experimenting with Shapes (our current Numeracy focus)

At Snack time we wash our hands, then choose our snack if we’d like one and chat with our friends.

At group times we have been playing Spin the Bottle and talking about our feelings using stories, character puppets from Inside Out, and by placing our names on our  Feelings Board.

COMING SOON….
News of the Red, Blue, Purple & Green groups coming soon –  so keep your eye on the blog!
