Parent Drop-In Café with Lesley Wilson

Parent Drop-In Café

As the new Home Link Worker for Grange Education Group, I am keen to organise a Parent Drop-In Café in your child’s school with the proposal of starting after the October holidays. (Week beginning 23rd October).  This will take place once a week either during school hours or after school hours, possibly alternating these times each week. This would hopefully allow most parents to be accommodated within these times.  The drop-in will give you all, an ideal opportunity to get to know one another, have a chat with tea/coffee and biscuits (possibly cake) in a laid back, relaxed atmosphere.  Working together, with the aim of developing and sustaining a support group led and run by parents for parents.

To enable me to gauge numbers, source suitable accommodation and catering facilities, I would be grateful if you could complete the online form below  no later than Friday 13 October 2017

Thank you in advance and look forward to meeting you all.

Cars at our school

Leave a comment

Our Eco group have been discussing the safety of our children and the pollution caused by excessive traffic building up around our school. We have discovered that if 4 or 5 parents from each class walked instead of drove, then collectively across the school there would be 75/80 fewer cars at our school in the morning. What a difference that would make!!!

Please walk if you can.

Thank you from the Eco Committee

Communication Board Update

Leave a comment

This week on our communication board you will see our Nursery Rhyme of the week is Humpty Dumpty and we have the Makaton displayed to go alongside which are King, horse and men. The Nursery Rhyme and Makaton aid your child’s communication and language skills so please try these out at home with your child. Please look out for the yellow disk being attached to the communication board  in the next few days which will be a recording of Humpty Dumpty by an ECC volunteer from either the AM or PM session. It will be a different child each week.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again

P4 Outdoor Day

2 Comments

We were inspired to enjoy the outdoors through our class novel ‘The Wilderness War’ by Julia Green. We had an amazing day at Caprington Woods building dens, making weapons, playing games, finding leaves, getting very muddy and having a ball!

” My best bit was being able to stomp in the mud” said Lewis.

“It was the best trip ever!” said Louie.

“I like how we worked as a team to build our den” said Archie.

“I loved making a bow and arrow” said Carrie.

At this week’s Parents’ Evening/ Afternoon Tuesday 10th October evening/Wednesday 11th October afternoon, our main focus is our e-portfolios. We have workshops running every half hour in the ICT suite and we would encourage you to attend.

E-Portfolio Workshop

We intend to set  tables in the gym hall with lap tops to encourage parents to  make comments on their child’s e-portfolio and school website.  You will also have the opportunity to taste our school dinners.  Please come and try our delicious food.

Our parent council suggested that families donate items for class wet weather boxes.  Empty boxes will be in the hall for each class.

We are looking for P6 and P7 children to help during our Parents’ night and afternoon.  Could you please complete the form below if you are available to help.
