Grange Cluster Football
Thank you so much to all the P5 boys and girls who represented Gargieston in yesterday’s Cluster Tournament with only 1 game lost by either team. A terrific achievement! Thank you so much to Bethany Hay for giving up her time to help organise the teams. It was also lovely to receive a call this morning complimenting our children on their sportsmanship and behaviour. Well done to everyone who took part!

Word Aware in the Early Childhood Centre
To help develop children’s vocabulary we are implementing ‘Word Aware’. The link below will explain the concept of Word Aware:
Every second week we will be exploring a different word, for the past 2 weeks we have been focussing on the word ‘fluffy’. We have been looking around the nursery and identifying things that are fluffy and not fluffy.
Please can you have a look with your child for items that are fluffy and not fluffy (around the house and outdoors). Post your child’s findings on their individual blog.

We are looking for parent helpers to help with our P6
