Dear ECC Parents / Carers

It has now come the time for us to ask you all for permission for all of our ante pre school children to take part in our care home visits. Care home visits take place twice a week on a Tuesday and Friday throughout the session with children going along to Springhill Care Home in the mornings and Howard House Care Home in the afternoons. An information session for parents will be provided on Friday 18th January at 2.45 and on Friday 25th January at 11 am, all parents/carers are invited to come along to find out what this project is and the benefits of it. If you have any questions or queries regarding these visits or would like to volunteer as a helper please speak to your child’s keyworker or Mrs Hendrie regarding these.

Please give permission below for your child/children to attend these visits below.

I give permission for my child to attend...(required)

Our nursery rhyme of the month for January is Jack and Jill. Please take a little time to sing this with your child and practise the Makaton signs too.  The staff track and record the progress of the nursery rhyme so it is important to practise when you can.

Also included in this blog post are some useful information posters to help promote your child’s communication skills and the top tip for January from the SALT team. These are also displayed on the communication board in the cloakroom of the nursery.

Should you have any concerns regarding your child’s speech and language development please speak to their key worker, Mrs Cotton (the communication champion) or you can contact the SALT directly on the hot line. You will find their number on our communication board.

Attainment Talks

Attainment Talks for Parents

Teaching and learning has totally transformed in recent years and we understand that the Scottish curriculum and how it is delivered in Gargieston PS & ECC can be baffling for parents. 

“Is my child achieving success in their learning?” 

“Are they achieving at the appropriate level?”  

“How is my child assessed?”

“What does Early, First and Second Level actually mean?”

Mrs McKee has organised Attainment Talks in order to answer these questions, inform parents about the Curriculum for Excellence and how this translates into the high quality learning experiences which your children enjoy in our school. 

In order to make these sessions accessible to as many parents as possible, Mrs McKee will offer the same session at 2 different times – Tuesday 20th November at 6pm and Thursday 22nd November at 2.15pm.  The session is appropriate for parents of all children from our ECC through to Primary 7. 

Please indicate below if to intend to attend one of the Attainment Talk Sessions.
