What a way to end February…..
Our class teachers had such a hard job picking a class winner for our Scottish Poem competition but we are delighted to share them with you.
A massive thank you to all our pupils who submitted their poem recordings. We really enjoyed watching them all.
Sit back, grab a glass of Irn Bru, some shortbread and enjoy our Scottish Poetry Winners 2021!
Hello to all of our families at Gargieston!
It’s your House Captains here and we have been very busy planning a special week for whole school. We have organised a Bake Off! This is a house competition and we encourage everyone to take part! We will judge the photos that are sent in by choosing our two favourite bakes from our house and these will be passed on to the teachers who will decide the overall winning house!
Please watch your House Captains’ video and check out the recipe which goes alongside it. If you are in the ECC, you can choose which baking challenge to do!
Remember to take some photos of your cake(s) then upload these using the correct Form by Sunday 28th Feb to enter the competition.
Good luck and may the best house win!
The ECC would like to say a huge thank you to the Cobbleshop and Blackwood Plant hire for donating us some wonderful resource to develop our outdoor learning in the ECC. You will see in the photo’s above we have filed our dinosaur small world role play with bark for the children to investigate. We have created song stones to enhance nursery rhymes outdoors, we have created a stage for the children to carry out drama experiences in our courtyard using pallets and astro grass, we have a variety of large stones for the children to build with and transport around the garden, We have a large tyre filled with bark for children to dig and investigate, we have extended our mud kitchen area using pallets which the children will absolutely love as this is one of their favourite outdoor activities and we have created an obstacle course using a variety of different sized tyres to develop the children’s co-ordination and balance. We are so grateful to both of these businesses for their very generous donations. Thank you very much from everyone at Gargieston ECC.
Thank you to our red House Vice Captain Ella for creating this reminder for parents about the important steps to follow to help keep everyone safe at Gargieston PS & ECC
