I cannot believe how quick the last 7 weeks have gone. What an extremely busy term we have had!
The children have been settling well into their new classroom routines and have been working hard with their learning.

Parenting Smart
Place2Be’s Parenting Smart is a site for parents and carers
of 4-11 year olds, offering practical advice on supporting
your child’s wellbeing and navigating a range of common
parenting challenges. Click the link for more details:
🧰Tourette Syndrome
Following on from my email yesterday, please find some additional information that may help and support conversations that may come up at home either during the holidays or once we start back.

As we approach the colder weather, please could we ask that children bring and wear a coat as we do like to get the children outside as much as possible. This is also the time of year when the grass does get wet and slippy.
It would be helpful, as with previous years, for all children to have a pair of gym plimsoles (please avoid any other types of shoes) to wear as indoor shoes. These will also be used for indoor gym and help protect our gym hall floor and keep our school floors clean. **Please note that slippers and Crocs are not suitable footwear**
🛑Safety
Please can we ask that when collecting children from school and that you vacate the playground as quick as possible and refrian from playing on the equipment. Our after school club have a let in with Angus Council to use the school grounds and equipment and for safety reasons no other children or adults should be about.
Please can we also ask you to only enter the playground just before the bell at the end of the day as we can have classes outside continuing their learning of outdoor PE.
We have had a few calls recently regarding people parking across driveways in neighbouring streets and please could we ask that you are considerate when parking.
