New Cumnock Primary Parent’s Group 13/9/23
Parents/carers, you are invited to attend our weekly Parents Group from 2-3pm, in the Parents Room. (Please enter via the main entrance)
For the next 8 weeks, our Parent’s Group will participate in the Families Connect programme, led by Mrs Bradford, our Home Link Practitioner.
Week 1 will run 2-3pm.
Weeks 2-8, we encourage your children to join us 3-3.30pm.
Families Connect is a programme created by “Save the Children” which looks to provide support in:
- numeracy
- emotional language development
- literacy/language development
It builds on parent’s skills and knowledge, providing them with the confidence to support their child’s learning in the home. The programme aims to build relationships between parents and school and provides opportunities for parents to share their parenting experiences with others.
Over the 8 week programme, parents will be encouraged to discuss aspects of their children’s learning during informal workshops. They will be introduced to a series of adaptable techniques, activities and games that they can do with their children to support their children’s learning in the 3 key areas noted above.

Child Flu Vaccine

Child Flu Vaccine | ||||||
Flu can be serious. Even healthy children can become seriously ill with flu. That’s why the flu vaccine is offered to all preschool children aged 2 years or over and all primary and secondary school children in Scotland. | ||||||
Getting your child vaccinated is the most effective way to reduce the risk of them getting flu and having to take time off nursery or school or spreading it to friends and family who are at greater risk this winter.
To help raise awareness of the child flu vaccine, Public Health Scotland has developed a social media toolkit with approved assets and captions for nurseries, primary and secondary schools, Health Boards and other stakeholders to share on your social media channels.
We hope you can share these assets on your social media channels and use the hashtag #ChildFluScot. There is also a range of resources on the Public Health Scotland website including:
Please don’t forward this email on to parents or carers. For more information visit www.nhsinform.scot/childflu Your support is much appreciated. |
