National Digital Learning Week 2019
National Digital Learning Week 2019
This Education Scotland event, gives children the opportunity to take part in curriculum focused activities using digital technology and to share these approaches across Scotland.
We are going to try to take part in the 5 challenges!
For this 5th annual event, all schools in Scotland are invited to take part in 5 these curriculum focused challenges:
So far………
Here are our p4 efforts in the Numeracy Challenge. We used digital technology to analyse and display our data #NDLW19
Our p5s are starting to create a digital story, which will be visiting some of our other classes over the next few days:
Word Aware in the Early Childhood Centre
To help develop children’s vocabulary we are implementing ‘Word Aware’. The link below will explain the concept of 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.

We are looking for parent helpers to help with our P6

Leaving school at 9am and returning for 11.30am.
We are looking for any help – even if your child is not going on the outing.

Partnerships with the Wider Community
At Gargieston Primary we are looking to promote effective learning through partnership working and to create wider community partnerships to provide real-life learning contexts.
“Working in partnership affords young people a broad range of opportunities and scope for greater personalisation and choice, with benefits for both the young person and the partner organisation. Working with each other, and with other partners such as parents, employers, public bodies and voluntary organisations, can help schools and other learning providers to make the most of their contribution and recognise their part in promoting lifelong learning” (Curriculum for Excellence – Building the Curriculum 4, 2009).
With all of the amazing expertise and skill set amongst our parents and friends of the school think of the endless opportunities we could create for our children. Please follow the link below to complete a short questionnaire providing us with details of your place of work.
