Our signs of the week are: Hello and Toilet.
Makaton is a language program using signs and symbols to help people communicate. It supports spoken language and eliminates the frustration for those who find it difficult to communicate effectively with the use of signs and symbols. Here at Gargieston we use Makaton on a daily basis to promote a communication rich environment through various songs and routines. We will be focusing on two signs of the week in the ECC and will share these with you on our communication board within the cloakroom. Please feel free to use these signs at home. Miss Clark, Mrs Cotton, Mrs Johnston, Miss Bryden and Miss Reid are all Makaton trained should you need any assistance on how to do these signs.

This board offers information on aiding your child’s communication and literacy development. Each month we aim to offer a top tip of the month and provide weekly Makaton signs. Please feel free to take any information leaflets or speak to a staff member if you have any concerns regarding your child’s language development. Miss Clark and Mrs Johnston are our communication champions here at Gargieston Early Childhood Centre and are currently working in partnership with the SALT team(Speech and Language Therapists).
