For the first time ever, we have been able to send a cricket team to an inter-schools competition. The team was selected from the upper school children who have attended the Wednesday after-school training or the curricular P6 work taught by volunteer, Mark Colman. Mark has a long cricketing history and his enthusiasm for the game is clear to see.

We are delighted to report that the team won the tournament today and have qualified for the Scottish finals in Perth later in the session! An amazing achievement! Thank you so much to Mark for giving up his time and well done to the team!

P1 Workshop

We would like to invite you to join your child at a workshop to learn more about how you can support your child’s learning.  Following the workshop, you will be given a home pack complete with fun activities to play at home.

The workshops will take place on Friday 17th May at 9:15am and 2:30pm

We hope you will be able to join us in this opportunity to learn alongside your child and find out more about how you can support their learning at home.

We are currently experiencing some glitches with Bug Club since maintenance was carried out earlier this week. This has been reported to Pearson and will hopefully be resolved as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Ben’s dad who very kindly created our outdoor den using pallets for the ECC children to explore in our courtyard area.

Thank you so much to all the P5 boys and girls who represented Gargieston in yesterday’s Cluster Tournament with only 1 game lost by either team. A terrific achievement! Thank you so much to Bethany Hay for giving up her time to help organise the teams. It was also lovely to receive a call this morning complimenting our children on their sportsmanship and behaviour. Well done to everyone who took part!

Congratulations to Blaike Hay, Kai Linton and Roan Darnbrough on their footballing success yesterday. The 3 boys were selected to play for East Ayrshire and we were delighted to hear that East Ayrshire won the Scottish Schools District tournament yesterday in Edinburgh. This is a fantastic achievement in such a high level competition. We are all very proud of you, boys!

Can we remind parents that the full cost of £10 per child must be paid by Friday 17th May.

To help develop children’s vocabulary we are implementing ‘Word Aware’. The link below will explain the concept of Word Aware:

Word Aware

Every second week we will be exploring a different word, for the past 2 weeks we have been focussing on the word ‘fluffy’. We have been looking around the nursery and identifying things that are fluffy and not fluffy.

Please can you  have a look with your child for items that are fluffy and not fluffy (around the house and outdoors). Post your child’s findings on their individual blog.
