Here at the ECC we go through lots of liquid soap, tissues and kitchen roll each week. We would be very grateful if each child from the Green and Red group could kindly donate any of these items to help keep us going. The reason we are asking two groups per term is to stop our cupboards becoming overcrowded with these items. Thank you

Communication tip of the month
This months top tip is getting face to face with your child this allows your child to observe speech, give eye contact and feel actively listened to which in turn will promote further interactions.
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.
★ ECC Star of the Week ★
In the nursery we follow a Good to be Green system using green, yellow and red cards to promote positive behaviour within the setting. Every week we focus on one of our Nursery Golden Rules and a picture of this rule will be put on the Good to be Green board as a reminder.
On Friday we have Star of the Week where a child from each group receives a certificate as recognition for following the Golden rule of the week. This week we were focusing on having super ‘Walking feet’ in the nursery. Well done to all the winners this week!
