Improvement plan – looking to create an outdoor area for reading.

Family learning has been well attended

We had a good response from the recent parent questionnaire – lots of positive feedback.  It has been decided we will continue with the staggered start/finish times as 68 opted to continue as opposed to 23 who said no.

Mission to the moon has commenced. Pupils have already walked the distance from Hurlford – Edinburgh, Edinburgh – London and London – Paris.

An artist was in school today to help create the set for The Lion King show

Red Nose Day – Friday 17th March.  This year’s theme is Dress for Joy – pupils can wear something which makes them happy.  A £1 donation can be made through ParentPay.

The new school app will be launching at the end of March.  Parents and pupils will be invited to join.

We are looking to plant some seeds before the Easter holidays and have a wish list from Mrs Miller, including packets of seeds, plant shelter and seed trays.  Mrs Miller to purchase what is needed and will be reimbursed.

Looking to buy all children in the school and ECC an easter egg again this year.  JM and GC both agreed this is a good idea.  We would need 250 eggs.  JM will confirm the number of children with allergies and we will organise something different for those children.  LC to contact Gillian Glancy at Asda to arrange.

 

ANY OTHER BUSINESS
LC asked if the PC would support the ECC garden project – supply paint, paint brushes and other gardening supplies.  It was agreed this could be done.  LC to speak to IC and Maria in the ECC.

JM said the school would also appreciate some paint for the outdoor reading area.

GC looking for ideas to celebrate the upcoming King’s coronation.  Discuss with the teachers and will come back if they need any support from the PC

It was suggested that the next meeting could be in person as this will be the last meeting until September, possibly in The Thistle.
