Many Thanks to Mrs Errici who kindly entered Gargieston Primary School into The Nessy Learning Wedding Competition where we were drawn as winners!
The fabulous prize is a Super School Licence giving 200 children full access to all of the Nessy learning programs.
We are delighted with this prize and can’t wait to start using this fabulous resource. Thank You Mrs Errici!
Have a look at our learning wall in the cloakroom to see what we are learning about in each area and what is on the menu for snack.
The Travelling Book Fair will be in school from Thursday 27th September till Thursday 4th October. Pupils will have the opportunity to ‘browse’ the books at lunchtime on Thursday 27th. The Book Fair will open on Friday 28th and close at the end of the day on Wednesday 3rd. A timetable for classes and the ECC to have the opportunity to buy books, along with times for parents to pop in with their child or children at the end of the school day, will be posted on the blog by Thursday.

Here at Gargieston ECC we promote a communication friendly environment and our communication champion is currently Miss Clark. When you enter the ECC you will find our communication board on your right hand side of the cloakroom.This board has key pieces of information to promote communication and language along with Makaton signs and Nursery rhyme of the week. This information is updated on a weekly basis and also uploaded to the blog.
We offer communication tip of the month which is pictured above (pausing in conversations)
Please feel free to take any leaflets in the button wallet from the board as these are replenished regularly.
Should you have any speech or language concerns please feel free to speak to your child’s keyworker, our communication champion or call the Speech and Language Therapy hotline which is pictured above. The speech and language therapy department also have a facebook and twitter page which has some useful information and tips posted regularly.
Today three of our upper school children – Hannah Paterson, Ali Rahman and Beth Patterson – attended an awards ceremony in Dumfries House to receive our certificate for managing to maintain our Gold Status. One year on, we are still one of only 5 schools in the authority to achieve this.
We are extremely proud of this award and thank all staff, parents and pupils for their hard work and support – it really is a team effort!
This months top top is supporting speech sounds. When your child pronounces a sound incorrectly just repeat back what they have said in it’s true form without correcting them. This allows the child to hear language in its correct form without knocking their confidence and self esteem. For example if a child was to say “it’s a at” instead of cat just repeat “yes it’s a cat”
Thank you to the 35 people who have taken the ECC Communication Board survey. This survey is still open and I would really appreciate if you could take 5minutes to provide your feedback. This feedback will be taken on board to influence the direction and progression of the communication board and what the communication champion displays in the future for parents. Thank you in advance.
Miss Clark is looking for as many ECC parents within the Early Childhood Centre to participate in this short survey in regards to the communication board. Your responses will be collated and taken on board for our centres progression.
Thank you to the 15 people who have already participated this is very much appreciated.
Miss Clark.
