In the ECC we go through lots of liquid soap, hankies, wet wipes and kitchen roll. We would greatly appreciate it if parents/carers could donate at least two of any of these items please.
To prevent us running out of storage, we ask that only pink and red group parents donate just now and we will ask the other groups to donate over the year.
Thank you
Our signs of the week are: Hello and Toilet.
Makaton is a language program using signs and symbols to help people communicate. It supports spoken language and eliminates the frustration for those who find it difficult to communicate effectively with the use of signs and symbols. Here at Gargieston we use Makaton on a daily basis to promote a communication rich environment through various songs and routines. We will be focusing on two signs of the week in the ECC and will share these with you on our communication board within the cloakroom. Please feel free to use these signs at home. Miss Clark, Mrs Cotton, Mrs Johnston, Miss Bryden and Miss Reid are all Makaton trained should you need any assistance on how to do these signs.
This week you will notice in our cloakroom area we have updated our communication corner for parents. Within the establishment we aim to work in partnership to offer a communication rich environment. This board offers information on aiding your child’s communication and literacy development. Each month we aim to offer a top tip of the month and provide weekly Makaton signs. Please feel free to take any information leaflets or speak to a staff member if you have any concerns regarding your child’s language development. Miss Clark and Mrs Johnston are our communication champions here at Gargieston Early Childhood Centre and are currently working in partnership with the SALT team(Speech and Language Therapists). We will be collecting feedback in the near future on how effective you are finding our communication corner or if you wish for any other information to be added.
