Open Morning

Class Tiree have invited all their parents into school this morning to help with an enterprise activity.

The class all voted on what they wanted to do for the open morning and this was the favourite.

It was decided to ask the parents to come to school and help with an enterprise activity, making items for the school’s Christmas Fair.

The pupils have been so excited and keen to have the parents onboard helping out with the craft activity.

Parents have just arrived and now  the creativity begins……. although they will be rewarded at the end with a coffee and mince pie.

Enjoy everyone.

Community Unity Celidh

Last Wednesday saw Loch Ness Corridor join in with our local primary schools as part of the Community Unity initiative at the Annual Eastwood High School Ceilidh. Previously known as ‘Twinning’, Community Unity is the extension of the anti-sectarian message developed in both St. Cadoc’s and Crookfur Primary Schools.

A busy programme of events is scheduled throughout the school year and Isobel Mair School has now been invited to take part, taking our place as active participants within our new school community. 

The Ceilidh was a great success and was well attended by Primary 7 pupils from Crookfur and St. Cadoc’s and a mix of pupils from our Primary Department. 

Pupils were entertained by our Scottish Country Dancing Team, “Reels on Wheels” and an ambulant dance was also performed to a great reception. Well done to all our pupils! 

This Thursday we will welcome pupils from St Cadoc’s who will be performing for our pupils in our MOD. More details to follow.

Oral Health

 

 

Class Lewis are currently doing an oral health topic as part of their health and wellbeing.

To support our teaching and learning Arlene Robertson,the oral health educator for East Renfrewshire, came in to show us why it is important to brush our teeth and how to take care of them. 

 We all loved the giant toothbrush and dinosaur puppet with big teeth to brush.
