The P5/6 Electricity STEM after-school club will begin on Wednesday 20th November and will run for four weeks from 3.30pm until 4.30pm. Participation in the club will require children attending the club to be accompanied by an adult. This is to enhance family engagement in the STEM subjects. If you would like to attend please use the form below to sign up. The cut off date is Friday 8th November. The club is limited to 20 places, if more than 20 children sign up names will be drawn from a hat.
Are you a Gargieston parent or grandparent with time and a talent that you would enjoy passing on to a group of our younger or older pupils? Are you a parent looking for the opportunity for some work experience in a school with a view to getting back to work? Would you be willing and able to make, for example, a 6-8 week commitment to pass on your skills to our young people at some point during this school session? Skills could be in a sport (for example football, basketball, tennis in the MUGA or gym?), crafting (for example knitting, sewing, art and crafts? ), or a hobby ( for example chess, music, gardening ?) .
We are looking for any volunteers who have a skill or talent our children would benefit from who would be willing to help with our Friday afternoon electives and/or with a lunchtime club?
If this is something you would consider please contact the school. We would love to hear from you.

Yesterday, as part of our whole school focus on Writing, Primary 3 went to The Dick Institute to hear a story from author Theresa Breslin. She read one of her stories about dragons and then illustrator Kate Leiper showed how she tackles drawing the pictures to go with the theme of the book.
The ladies very kindly signed copies of their books for some of the children and two copies for the school as well.
This is Ali’s fabulous story he wrote from his visit – well done, Ali!
