Parents’ Night Survey
Communicating with and receiving feedback from parents is very important to us at Gargieston Pr and ECC. For this reason, after you have had your appointment with your child’s teacher tomorrow, we would very much appreciate if you would kindly drop in to the computer suite. It would be helpful to us if you would take part in a very short online survey which will allow us to gather your opinions on the way Gargieston Primary communicates to parents about our pupils’ progress, attainment and achievement. Thank you very much for your help . Mrs. McLaughland

Do You Know Your Rights?
As a part of our hard work on Rights Respecting Schools we have now covered many of the United Nation ‘rights’ in school. We are currently working towards achieving our silver award! Why not share your learning at home or ask your parents to discuss some of the rights we have yet to learn?
Attached below is a copy of the ‘Child Friendly Rights’ – hi-lighted in yellow are the rights we have covered in school. Now let’s try to learn EVERY right!

P5a are Global Citizens!
As a part of Global Citizenship week Base 3 have been studying Fairtrade!
We know that Fairtrade means giving producers a fair price for their hard work. We have been working in school to bring attention to Fairtrade in Gargieston!
“Article 27: Every child has the right to a standard of living that is good enough to meet their physical, social and mental needs. Governments must help families who cannot afford to provide this.”
Our Nursery Rhyme of the week is…..
One, two, three, four, five Makaton
Please try this rhyme out at home with your child pointing out the rhyming words this is very important in raising your child’s phonological awareness. Miss Clark is collecting data on the children’s knowledge and awareness of each rhyme before it becomes our focus and again after. I will share these results in pie chart form in the next few weeks. I recently attached our first pie chart on Hickory, Dickory Dock which showed an increase of knowledge and awareness when the rhyme was focused on at home and within the ECC in a partnership. Please try and incorporate this into your every day routine Nursery Rhymes are portable: Here are some examples of when they could be sang…..
*While in the car on the way to the ECC each day
*When out walking in the outdoor environment
*When your child is having a bath or shower
*Before or after story time at home.
*While making the dinner or tidying up.
*While visiting some relatives.
Our new top tip …..
This months focus is about being face to face with your child so they can look directly at you while joining in with their play. Play with the same resources as your child and allow your child to direct the play this involves copying and responding to their actions even if this involves acting like a big kid this will really encourage your child’s active participation and encourage them to seek further interactions.
This provides your child with a positive outlook on how they see the world around them. When a child is actively listened to they feel a sense of value this also builds their confidence, self esteem and social skills when forming positive relationships for life long learning.
