GIRLS FOOTBALL
Here are the P5 and P6 girls who attend football training on a Monday with Bethany, our Ayrshire College student and girls football coach. They also represented us superbly at last week’s Grange Cluster Cup first event. They didn’t win the event but they had lots of fun and very proudly came back to school with the Fair Play Cup. This was awarded in recognition of their positive, enthusiastic attitude and sportsmanlike behaviour throughout the event. Well done, girls!! We are so proud of you.
Unfortunately, we have no team strips for the girls who played last week in our school orienteering tops. We would be extremely grateful if there was a company or business with a family link to Gargieston which would be able to sponsor us and so help us to have new strips for all our future football events. Our very successful boys team need new strips too. We would be so grateful for any help.
P2 Needs your Help…
We need donations of kitchen roll tubes for an exciting STEM challenge we have planned for the children. Any donations would be greatly received – thank you.

Visit by Microsoft to P6
On Tuesday straight after lunch P6 were given a visit by Microsoft to teach us all about Microbits and coding. We were given a USB cable, a battery pack and a microbit chip. We went onto a website called Microsoft Make Code and clicked on the first option which was Microbit. On the simulator we were taught how to code pictures onto our microbit and if we plugged in the USB it appeared on the chip. First we learnt how to code a heart shape that flashed in the centre as a basic of code. Then we were allowed to create our own pictures on the simulator. And for a challenge we had to code a game of rock paper scissors on our chips. After that we could make as many pictures on the microbits we wanted for the last couple of minutes. All of P6 would like to give a huge thanks for Microsoft and the teachers from St Mungo’s High School and all the people at Microsoft. We really enjoyed playing with the microbits.

Communication Board update

I have attached new information regarding speech sound development and this information is available in booklet form within the yellow folder attached to the communication board please feel free to take one.
