Getting To Know You Day

It was lovely to see the P7s return from Grange with broad smiles after their Getting To Know You Day. This was the first time they met up with their future classmates and enjoyed all the activities they were presented with.

Gargieston Choir @ Vow to Wow!

Our choir certainly wowed the crowd at Ayrshire College last night. They sang beautifully and represented the school very well at the event.

Praise was heard from Councillors, Senior Council Officials as well as parents, families and members of the public.

Thank you very much to all the children for coming out at night time.

We must say a huge thank you to ‘Love Lila Photography’ who captured some beautiful pictures of our choir.

 

Science Club

Gargieston Science Club started this week which saw Daniel Gorman from KESS (Kilmarnock Engineering and Science Society) deliver the first of four family learning sessions on ‘Electricity’. Children and parents enjoyed finding out about electrons and wiring their own circuits. I wonder what challenges will be set next week?

ECC Word Aware

‘Cold’

 

For the next 2 weeks we are going to be learning about  ‘cold’. We have been discussing things that are cold and not cold . The children have been taking part in a range of activities to help understand the concept of cold. To enhance your child’s understanding please encourage them to talk about things that are cold and not cold or times when they may be cold e.g this water is cold and this water is not cold.

Please post photos of things that are big and not big on your child’s E-portfolio.

Make & Taste Sessions

Thanks to all who came along to todays Make & Taste sessions. I hope you all enjoyed making Fruity Crumble Tumblers!

The sheet will be in the cloakroom tomorrow for next weeks Salad tortilla wraps (first come first served basis).

If you attended today, please bring along your booklet next week!

Well done to everyone!

No Screen Day

 

No Screen Time Day’ will take place on Wednesday 20 November across all schools and early learning and childcare settings in East Ayrshire. The initiative has been jointly co-ordinated by East Ayrshire Speech and Language Therapy Team and East Ayrshire Council.

It’s hoped that ‘No Screen Time Day’ will raise awareness of the positives of reducing screen time and increasing social face-to-face interactions, and play-based interactions which are particularly crucial for early language development.

  • Children aged 5-15 spend an average of 2 hours 11 minutes a day online.
  • 82% of children aged 5-7 go online for around 9.5 hrs a week.
  • 99% of teens spends almost a full day (24hrs) online a week.
  • 71% of teens who have a mobile take it to bed with them.
  • 69% of teens also have a social media profile.(Source: Ofcom, 2019; Scott, Biello & Woods 2019)
  • Research shows that prolonged time spent in front of screens and on social media can negatively affect their sleep, which can have a knock on effect on health, well-being, education and relationships with friends and family.
