Nursery rhyme of the week

Image result for baa baa black sheep

We will be reciting different rhymes every week with the children. To help them with this skill,  could you please go over these rhymes with your  child at home highlighting the rhyming words and ensuring that they are saying the words in the correct order.

Have fun and thank you for supporting us.

New School Crossing Patrol

 

 A new crossing is being  installed at Dundonald Rd / Mount Village.    

EAC is hoping to have the civils aspect completed during the October week.

The signals will be installed by a specialist contractor shortly after

which will have minimal disruption. 

We encourage parents to use their new facility when it is up and running.  

The crossing will be slightly to the right of the old site,

this  is due to the proximity of the bus stop.

Apologies to anyone experiencing difficulties logging on to Bug Club this week. This is very unusual and we have been in contact with Pearson about it. Unfortunately it is intermittent and tricky to pinpoint. Please keep trying and we will continue to work with Pearson to have this resolved as quickly as possible.

Can you help…?

Primary 7 children will be walking to The Galleon every Tuesday morning for six weeks (excluding October holiday) starting Tuesday 26th September. Would you be able to assist with this walk? They will be leaving Gargieston at 8.50am and leaving The Galleon at approximately 10.55am. If you can help for even one of these weeks, please contact Mrs Lawson or simply leave a message with the office.

Many thanks.

Communication Corner

Please have a look at our communication corner in the cloakroom. This board provides information in aiding your child’s communication and language skills. This board will be updated weekly with two Makaton signs.  Makaton is fun and aids communication and language development. This weeks signs of the week are Milk and Please, we will be doing these signs with your child on a daily basis within the ECC but feel free to try these out at home.
