Sumdog Pre Easter Competition

All children have been entered into a pre Easter Sumdog competition which is running from 3rd-9th April. Good luck and have fun with maths!

Class Blogs

Some people are unsure how to access their child’s class blog. Here are a few steps to help you.

  1. On this Gargieston Primary and ECC’s Blog, go the primary classes section on the top menu bar all the classes are found in there.

2.Click on the relevant class and it will take you to the class blog. (It’s the blog that teacher’s post updates and homework on).

Microsoft Teams

As you will appreciate, due to the high level of users attempting to access Microsoft Teams this is causing problems with access to the programme. We hope things will begin to improve and we will keep you updated.

ECC Online Learning

The ECC will be posting activities for children to do with you on your child’s individual blog page. Please log into GLOW with your child’s details to see what activities they are suggesting.

Home Learning During Closure

We have provided your child with  GLOW, Bug Club and Sumdog logins in order to access these online learning platforms during closure.

Teachers have set up TEAMS in GLOW for their class where they will be uploading work for your child to do at home. Your child will also be able to chat to their teacher and their class through teams.

A quick guide to GLOW TEAMS has been made for you:

A list of suitable websites will follow to enable you to supplement learning from home. We will endeavour to update this on a weekly basis.
