ECC Communication Board

Our Nursery Rhyme of the week is Humpty Dumpty.

You will see the Rhyme and Makaton up on the communication board in the ECC cloakroom and in the links below.

Please sing and try out the signs at home. Singing rhymes with your child regularly increases their knowledge of phonological awareness and aids your child’s ability to read and spell later at School.

Our Communication Champion here at Gargieston  is Miss Clark she will be tracking the children’s knowledge of each nursery rhyme and will share this data with you in the very near future.

If you have any concerns in regards to your child’s speech and language development please speak to a member of staff or contact the Speech and Language Therapy department hotline number this is displayed on our communication board.

Massage in schools

 

We are delighted to be introducing the Massage In Schools Programme with our pupils.  This programme has proven to be highly successful in reducing anxiety and stress levels and improving confidence and concentration.

Unfortunately, children (and adults!) often associate relaxation with screen time.  We want to encourage our children to develop skills and strategies to ‘switch off’ and relax which they can take with them into adulthood.

Full details will be sent to you in an email today.

We are also working with our colleagues from EAST to adapt the programme and introduce it to our children within the ECC.
