It has been a short week in ELC this week following the May holiday weekend, but we have been busy nurturing our plants and we can see that they are starting to grow. The children have made a mini greenhouse from recycled plastic  to protect the vegetables from frost. This will also help protect the strawberries from the birds.  The children also thought about using string, sticks and tin foil to scare away the birds.

We are supporting the children to understand which foods are healthy and which are not as healthy through our snack and lunch choices and our discussions about different foods and what makes them a healthy choice. The children have also been sorting foods into groupings and working together to plan healthy snacks for ELC.

We have also been busy planning the transitions for our ELC 4 children moving on to Primary 1 and there will be more information about this soon in our May newsletter, on our noticeboard and by direct contact to the ELC 4 parents.

Our new ELC August starts will also be contacted with further information about their transition very soon.
