Mrs Cotton is looking for donations for the role play area. The children have asked for the role play area to become a supermarket. We are looking for donations to stock up our supermarket. Ideas would include cleaned out bottles such as fairy liquid, fabric conditioner, shampoo, conditioner, soap, sauces, milk cartons, juice bottles or any other supermarket item including food boxes/packaging. If you have any other resources suitable for our supermarket such as a till, trollies, baskets or plastic food all donations would be greatly appreciated.
Miss Clark is hoping to make up story bags and is looking for donations of things related to the stories of goldilocks and the three bears, The hungry caterpillar, The Gruffalo and a variety of other small teddies. We appreciate your help and support.
Please have a look at our communication corner for more information and leaflets on development of speech sounds. These are pointers on aiding your child’s overall language and communication development.
Please speak to your child’s keyworker about any concerns regarding your child’s speech or communication. Have a look on the board for information regarding age and stage speech sound development. Inside the yellow button wallet are leaflets regarding speech development for your guidance. Here at Gargieston we have an appointed communication champion Miss Clark who regularly works in partnership with the SALT team attending training and network meetings to improve and support communication and language development for your child. We are a Makaton friendly environment and hope to reach being a communication friendly environment in the future.

This weeks song is Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. We will be singing this within the ECC. Please sing this with your child at home and try out the Makaton. Singing aids your child’s knowledge of how language is construction and aids with language acquisition. This is why it’s important to regularly sing to or with your child.
If Makaton is something you are interested in and have been implementing with your child please have a look on facebook for Makaton Ayrshire. This facebook page posts information in regards to communication, up and coming courses and a variety of signs. At the moment they are doing an advent of Makaton where a video is posted daily of different Christmas signs. Please see the facebook page for a video of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (Look out for Miss Clark in the video) or here below is a link from you tube which demonstrates the Makaton.

I noticed these leaflets were running very low this week so they have been replenished please feel free to take one and should you have any concerns about your child’s speech please speak to their keyworker or our communication champion.
Here are some tips to improve your child’s language:
