Ashleigh Construction Design Competition

Jessica Crossan in P3 was the successful winner of the Ashleigh Construction Design Competition where she designed her own outdoor play area. She won a £100 voucher for Snow Factor in Braehead. Well done, Jessica!! Here she is being presented with her prize from Claire and Katie from Ashleigh Construction.

Thank you!

A massive thank you to primary 2/1 for organising such a lovely gift and all your kind words. It really means a lot. I’m very excited and can’t wait to come back as Mrs Smith.

Wishing you a happy holiday.

P4A Easter Assembly

A huge well done to all the boys and girls in Primary 4A for putting on a super Easter Assembly on Friday.  You researched and wrote the whole thing yourselves and you put on an excellent performance.

 

P7 Parents’ Night

As we have done for the past few years, the Primary 7 children are welcome, where possible, to come in with their parent(s) to their final Gargieston parents’ night – their ‘exit interview’. We shall look forward to seeing everyone at this special time.

Many P7 children who are available, are also helping around the school with surveys, assisting staff etc. Could parents please pop a note in diaries or leave a comment on this post (click on the heading) to confirm they are happy for their child to be given a slot around the time of their own appointment? Many thanks.

Mrs Lawson

 

P4B – Global Citizenship Assembly

P4B worked extremely hard when planning and carrying out their ‘Global Citizenship’ Assembly. They were sharing their learning on many important things such as:

  • The United Nation’s 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development

  • Water pollution linked to Global Goal 14 – Life Below Water

  • UNCRC Article 24 – Everyone has the right to clean water

They did really well when delivering the message that if everyone does just a little bit, we can change the world to a better place for all.

Help with a piano please…

We are in the very fortunate position of being offered a good piano – unfortunately we have no way of uplifting it.  We would be so grateful if anyone could help us out with this. We also need to have it organised before we stop for Easter…

If you can help us then please click on the title here and leave a comment or contact the school and speak to Mrs Lawson.

Fingers crossed somebody can help!

Orienteering is BACK!

Gargieston Primary has traditionally taken part in the Ayrshire and Scottish orienteering festivals over a number of years and have competed to a high level.  This of course was down to the dedication and enthusiasm of Ms Harvey.  Mr Smith and myself (Mrs Mackie) would love to keep this tradition alive and are hoping to get as many children to attend these events as possible.    Every year there are evening training events run by AYROC, giving the children experience of an orienteering course.  Here is the information:
