Halloween Message from residents of Whitecraigs care Home

Message from Amanda,   
Home administrator Whitecraigs  Care Home 

Halloween is normally a time in which everyone’s homes are filled with lots of people dressed up and lots of little trick or treaters. With trick or treating discouraged this year, we are looking at alternatives to bring some spooky fun to our residents and for our residents to keep our connections with our local community. We are always looking at ways of adapting to the current situation and decided that our residents always love to see the smile on children’s faces as they dress up at this time of year. They have all agreed that it is very sad for all the children in the community, when they heard that trick or treating is cancelled, and want to do something to bring some joy and fun to the local community. We are creating a spooky pebble hunt within Newton Mearns and around our home for anyone to find and move/take photos of and rehide for others to find. If any of you find them, please send us your photos. 🎃🎃🎃  👻👻 our residents would love to see if anyone finds them. We have just painted our first batch and started to hide some already for a Halloween hunt ❤️❤️❤️

We hope everyone has a happy Halloween from all the residents of whitecraigs care home, 24 Stewarton Road, Glasgow, G46 7uz. 👻❤️👻

School Hoodie

This week your child  will be coming home with a new hoodie as a gift from Isobel Mair School Fund.

We hope this helps to keep our young people cosy whilst they are participating in outdoor learning over the colder months.

Please write their name on the inside.

Beat the Street

Isobel Mair School pupils will now be playing an exciting and adapted version of the Beat the Street game, in which pupils work together to achieve a points target set by Beat the Street. We will have our own Leaders board ‘Empowered School Leaderboard’ instead of entering onto the Communal Leaders Board, working as a collective to gain points and reach a target together with a trophy + prize for the school in the end (when we reach our points target).

Pupils participating while out in the community with their families can still continue to do so and will still be eligible for ‘lucky prizes’ like everyone else but instead of points showing up on the Communal Leader Board we will have our own special IMS Points Board ‘Empowered School Leaderboard’ and all points will be combined to go towards target.

Can parents please attach fobs onto coat zippers to encourage the game both at school, home and in the community.

- Pupils, Parents
