What do you want to be when you grow up?
Big Me is a day for you to dress up as what you want to be when you grow up.
On Thursday 13th October, we are asking every pupil to come to school dressed as grown-up them and bring £1 to help ActionAid create a better future for children around the world.
Dress up and dream big!
The first Parent Equalities Forum of this session will take place on 15/9/16 in Mearns Castle HS from 7-8pm.
Eaglesham Primary School and Nursery Class would like to invite you to school on Wednesday 7th September 2016 6.30pm – 7.30pm to find out what Curriculum for Excellence means for your child/children this session. Our Curriculum Evening is an opportunity to be involved in the experiences your child participates in each day at school.

FUN DAY
On Monday 20th June, the Parent Council have hired some inflatables (bouncy castle, slide and assault course) for the day. Each class will come out (weather permitting) and have time to go on these. The cost of this will be £1.50 which includes a drink of juice & packet of crisps and the money is to be brought to school on the day. Please note, that due to problems experienced in previous years, if your child does not have the money on the day, they unfortunately will not be able to take part.
Thank you for your continued support this school year and we hope you have a nice summer.
On behalf of the Parent Council Fundraising Committee

Walk to School Week – W/B 2nd May 2016
Dear Parents/Carer,
The Braveheart Walking Bus will be running every day during Walk to School Week! We hope that this will be another successful week of walking. Remember, even if you do not live in the village you can be dropped off at the Eaglesham shops at 8.30am in the morning. If you would like to volunteer to help with a Walking Bus during this week, please contact Mrs Johnston-Smith. A little help really does go a long way in supporting active and safe travel to school.
The Braveheart route is led by teachers who provide high visibility waistcoats for the children to wear ensuring a safe journey to school. The Walking Bus is a great way for children to exercise whilst socialising with their peers. It encourages all to take an active approach in their own health and well-being. Please note that the bus will wait at each stop for a maximum of two minutes. It is parents’ responsibility to escort their children to the bus stops. Please do not leave a child at a stop if the bus has not arrived. As the bus is run and manned by Eaglesham volunteers, it is classed as ‘informal’. This means that all children attending the bus remain the responsibility of their parents until they arrive in the school playground.
If your child would like to join a Walking Bus, simply turn up on the day at one of the stops that are detailed below. I look forward to seeing you there!
| ROUTE 1 – Running all week. |

| 8:30am Stop 1 – Top of Lynn Drive
(at local shops) |
| 8:45am Stop 2 – Outside Library |

This year, Sport Relief takes place from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th March. We would love to contribute to this great cause by encouraging our pupils to run or walk a mile on Friday 18th March.

The Eaglesham Song recording is now available on the ER YouTube channel!
Find the links under Achievements.
The Eaglesham Song is part of Eaglesham History Society’s Eaglesham History Project which is supported by the National Lottery through the heritage Lottery Fund.
The National Parent Forum of Scotland has been working with Skills Development Scotland as part of the programme of work underway in Developing the Young Workforce. We are pleased to have produced some tailored information for parents, as part of our successful “in a nutshell” series, which covers the new Careers Education Standard launched at SLF 2015. This new nutshell will supply parents with basic information about the initial role of this programme in schools and signpost them to where they can get some more information if they need it.
