Girls’ Football
A new programme is beginning to give Grange Education Group girls the same opportunities as the boys currently receive. This is initiative is with a view to forming a girls’ district squad.
It will target Primary 6 and 7 girls and the first night takes place this Friday 31st January at Ayrshire College from 3.30pm – 5pm.
The girls would be expected to make their own way there but Mr Smith will meet them at the college for the first week to assist in any way he can.
Friday will start with all the girls playing games in mixed school teams. Ultimately the organisers are looking to form 3 teams ranging from established competitive players, to improvers, to those who would just like to play for fun.
If your daughter would like to attend please let Mrs Lawson know as soon as possible.
Many thanks.
ECC – Word Aware
Over the next two weeks we will be focussing on the word ‘little’. The children will have the opportunity to take part in small group activities to enhance their understanding of little and not little. It would be very beneficial if you could continue to embed the concept of little at home. A simple way of doing this could be asking your child to go on a treasure hunt around the house to find things that are little and things that are not little.
Please post photos of your child’s findings/activities on their E-portfolio.

Active Literacy Resources
With the new term well under way, staff and pupils are becoming more familiar with the methodology of Active Literacy and using more of the resources purchased using GFG money.
We thought this would be a good time to thank all of you for supporting the GFG and in particular the committee for giving up their own time to organise the discos, quiz nights, fun family days; collate Christmas card/ gift orders; prepare tea towel templates etc. Without their hard work we would not have been able to buy this huge bank resources from which all the children will benefit.
Class sets of novels – The Hodgeheg, The Borrowers, The Last Wolf, Holes, The Butterfly Lion, The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark; group sets of The Trouble With Dragons, Harris the Hero, Skye the Puffling, The Tiny Seed; games; cards; colourful storage drawers; folders and materials staff can use to build up a large bank of resources.
