A National Winner!

March 10, 2021 User deactivated 10 Comments

We are delighted to tell you that Abbie Russell’s entry in Shelter Scotland’s national competition for their 2021 Christmas card design, was the winner!

Abbie’s design was selected from entries from all over Scotland – an amazing achievement! Abbie, we are so proud of you and also of Freya Lee, P7A, who instigated the fundraiser within the school.

We would invite you to watch this short clip sent to us from Shelter Scotland showing Abbie’s design and also an outline of the amazing work done by the charity.

Abbie, we’ll look forward to seeing your design in the shops later in the year!

We are so lucky to have received a very special message from author Ursula Buchan, grand daughter of 39 Steps author, John Buchan. She recorded a special video for us with a short quiz at the end, so listen hard all the way through.

Thank you so much to Ursula for doing this especially for Gargieston and to Mrs Green for organising it. Enjoy…!

March 1, 2021 User deactivated Leave a comment

The count down is on to Thursday and World Book Day. Remember boys and girls in the ECC and P1-3, we would love to see you dressed up as your favourite book character (please leave any add-ons such as wands or swords at home in case they get lost).

When is World Book Day 2021 and what's the theme?

There will be lots of activities on class Teams pages and on the blog for you to take part in throughout the day and everyone, both in school and at home, will receive their voucher to exchange for a book at participating shops.

Please share your photographs of the day whether you’re dressed up as a character or you would like everyone to see a piece of work you are particularly proud of – feel free to send them all!
