We raised a total of £513.16 ! from which we will make a donation to Yorkhill Hospital.
The children did a really wonderful job representing Busby Primary and we had so many positive comments from customers saying how smart, polite and helpful the children were – so a very big thank you and well done to P7s Abby, Libby, Sophie, Steven, Thomas, Keir, Ellie, Sally, Fran, Lou, Nicholas, Owen and Niamh and all their parents !
A big thank you also to Erin, Caleb and Eva who also bag packed and to those P7s who were enjoying bag packing so much they stayed on beyond their allotted time .
Asda staff were very accommodating and friendly. Customers were very generous, some of whom still donated, even though they chose to pack their own bags. Will write a thank you to Jen at Asda.
Everyone is keen to do again !

“The East Renfrewshire Convoy to Calais leaves this Thursday at 8pm from the car park of ER Council HQ in Eastwood Park, Giffnock. They are taking the largest single donation from anywhere in Scotland. Schools and nurseries from all over East Renfrewshire responded with overwhelming generosity to the appeal. All parents, children and staff are invited to be there for the send-off. The convoy organisers want to give the families who contributed the opportunity to see their donations leave, and to send the convoy off in style.
We hope you can join us.”
Please see below our final consulation letter regarding the consultation of a new school tie.
Hard copies of the letter will come home tomorrow but if you would like email your response to the school mail account for ease that would be great.

Please click here to see the Hanen presentation used at the recent Nursery parents meeting. Hanen is an approach to developing literacy and reading skills.
The Scottish Government has proposed to increase the provision of free childcare to 1140 hours per year for children who are 3 or 4 years old, as well as for vulnerable 2 year olds who are eligible for the 600 hours free entitlement through the Children & Young People’s Act 2014. With this in mind the Government are conducting a survey exploring how parents would wish to use this increase. The results of this survey will help guide policy on early years child care provision. In order for the survey to produce representative results it is important that we reach as many parents of 3 or 4 year old children from as wide a variety of back grounds as possible, this includes those who do not currently use free child-care provision.
The survey is available at the following link.
