Children’s Mental Health Week
At Gargieston, we recognise that being healthy is about more than just our physical health. This session, as part of our improvement plan, we are focusing on supporting our children with their mental and emotional health.
We thought this graphic produced to celebrate Children’s Mental Health week had some lovely prompts for nurturing a child’s mental health.
P6/7 After School Netball and Hockey
Hockey – 3:15-4:15 on Wednesdays
Netball – 3:15 – 4:15 on Thursdays
Apologies – this was missed off the letters!
Girls’ Football
A new programme is beginning to give Grange Education Group girls the same opportunities as the boys currently receive. This is initiative is with a view to forming a girls’ district squad.
It will target Primary 6 and 7 girls and the first night takes place this Friday 31st January at Ayrshire College from 3.30pm – 5pm.
The girls would be expected to make their own way there but Mr Smith will meet them at the college for the first week to assist in any way he can.
Friday will start with all the girls playing games in mixed school teams. Ultimately the organisers are looking to form 3 teams ranging from established competitive players, to improvers, to those who would just like to play for fun.
If your daughter would like to attend please let Mrs Lawson know as soon as possible.
Many thanks.
East Ayrshire Regional Gymnastics Qualifiers
We have received information regarding an East Ayrshire Schools gymnastics team competition which will take place on Friday 24th January at Auchinleck Academy. Each team would have either 3 or 4 gymnasts. We would like to invite experienced gymnasts from Primary 4 to 7 who would like to take part to contact Mrs Lawson for more details as soon as possible, as the closing date for entries is Friday – 10th January.
Many thanks.
Netball
Congratulations to our middle school Netball team. Last week they took part in a tournament at Kyle Academy and won three of their four matches! An amazing achievement for their first competitive games. Thank you for representing the school so well.
Thanks also to Kirsty Mackay, Charlie Mackay and Amy Tickner for giving up their own time to come and coach the team – we really appreciate it!
