Thank You.
Church Service
It was lovely to see so many friends and family joining us today in church for our closing service. I’m sure everyone there enjoyed listening to the choir and recorders.
A huge thank you to the GFG for the secondary school ties for our Primary 7 children. It has become a wonderful tradition and one which their parents greatly appreciate too.
As you know, Beautiful Inside and Out (SCIO) was the nominated charity for the offering and we are delighted to be handing over a cheque for £320 to help fund their counselling sessions for young people. Thank you for your generosity today.

Communication Board – new top tip!
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”
ECC Communication Survey
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.
Composite Class Meeting
The staff at Gargieston have been working together to allocate pupils to their classes for next session. As you may be aware, our school roll is increasing significantly with a Primary 1 intake consisting of 80 children.
Next session, there will be 15 classes of which 4 are composite classes.
If your child has been placed in one of these classes, I would like to invite you to attend a short information meeting in the school at 2.45pm on Thursday, 14th June which will give you the opportunity to find out more about composite classes and ask any questions you may have.
I look forward to meeting with you.

Thank you to the 15 people who have already participated this is very much appreciated.
Miss Clark.
