We would like to invite P1 parents and new families to a Bug Club workshop. Bug Club is the reading programme which we use throughout the school and it would be helpful if the parents of P1 pupils who have no older siblings within the school were able to attend.
We have planned two workshops in the hope you will be able to attend at a time that suits you best.
Wednesday 18th September @ 8.30am.
&
Thursday 19th September @3.15pm.
Please enter your details below if you wish to attend.
Congratulations everyone!! For the first time ever, despite the problems we have been experiencing over the past two weeks, every single person has logged on to their account! This is the first time we have ever achieved this.
Well done , boys and girls!
It was lovely to meet some of our new families at a Bug Club workshop recently. It was aimed at new children in the school from P2 upwards and we hope that they are enjoying learning new reading skills with this super online resource.
Children familiar with this should all be back into the swing of Bug Club and aiming high with challenging texts from their teachers. As always please lets us know if you are experiencing any difficulties with your account.
Soon we shall look forward to meeting all our new P1 families at one of the future workshops. More details to follow.
With the teachers all prepared and ready to go, we are looking forward to welcoming lots of new pupils to Gargieston tomorrow morning. Not only do we have all our Primary 1s, we also have 10 new pupils to various classes further up the school! We hope you are all excited and looking forward to making lots of new friends.
As all current pupils and parents know, our main reading materials are from the online resource Bug Club. It is a relatively new scheme and one which is showing great results in our children’s learning.
With this in mind, we would like to invite the 10 new families, along with families who started at Gargieston mid-way through session 16-17, to an informal workshop on how Bug Club works and how to get the best out of the books.
Tuesday 22nd August at 3.20pm in the ICT suite
N.B. LATER IN TERM 1 THERE WILL BE A SEPARATE WORKSHOP FOR ALL NEW P1 PARENTS – this will coincide with P1 children receiving their first reading books.
