The ECC would like to thank The Cobble Shop for their very kind donations of

• a tractor tyre filled with bark.
• Pink sand for both indoor and outdoor play
• Astro grass for flooring in our loose parts play space and for imaginative small world play area
• selection of large pebbles and small stones to be creative with and explore

These donations will provide fun learning experiences both indoors and outdoors for our children at Gargieston ECC to develop their learning.

Also a big thank you to Lindsay Anne Robertson who kindly organised this donation and delivered it to us. 🙂

Mrs Hendrie in the ECC will be holding a Sharing our learning session on Tuesday 24th March. All ECC parents are welcome to come along and listen to how we use floorbooks in the ECC to find out what children would like to learn and how we provide learning experiences which meets the curriculum for excellence outcomes. Mrs Hendrie will be demonstrating how we are beginning to incorporate QR codes into our floorbooks and encouraging parent’s to make comments and suggestions to improve how we plan, implement and evaluate your children’s learning in our ECC. There will be a sharing our learning session at 9.15am and again at 1.00pm. If you would like to join any of these sessions please complete the form below.

Thank you. Look forward to seeing you all there 🙂

Over the next two weeks we will be focusing on the word ‘different’. The children will have the opportunity to take part in small group activities to enhance their understanding of different and not different. It would be very beneficial if you could continue to embed the concept of different at home.  A simple way of doing this could be talking about different colours of eyes, hair, cars etc.

We also learn the Makaton sign for each word; ask your child to show you different using Makaton.

Please post photos of  your child’s findings/activities on their E-portfolio.
