School Transitions

Transitions

The transition process for children heading off to school in August is well underway.

By now, children have all visited their feeder school on at least one occasion and for some children more visits are in the diary.

We have children going to Isobel Mair School, Crookfur Primary, St Cadoc’s Primary, Kirkhill Primary and Mearns Primary this year.

Teachers from some of the schools have dropped in to the Family Centre to say hello and spend a little time with the children.

If you have any queries about transitions to school, please ask Gary.

Easter Celebrations

Easter Celebrations

 Are you ready for our Easter Bonnet competition on Wednesday 28th March?

Bring a homemade bonnet for our parade and to enter our competition.

This is taking place on the same day as our Easter Craft Day where you are welcome to stay and join in with some Easter crafting.

Our friendly Easter Bunny might also make a special appearance!

Balta and Texa playrooms are focusing on a sensory Easter craft day, so if you are coming to join in please wear old clothes as it may get a bit messy!

We hope you come along

Special Treat!

Some parents have asked about the previously planned Family Centre end of term trip (as noted on our Annual Dates for your Diary Planner given out in September 2014.)

The trips this year have unfortunately not came into fruition – the planning and costs involved have just been too extensive.

Instead – we have spoken to the children about what they would like and it has now been organised for a special treat to take place this Friday 12th June. Animal Man from Mini Zoo will be coming along to the Family Centre. Check out the website for more information:

www.minizoo.org.uk

Photos to follow!

We will ensure a rigorous hand washing approach, as will Animal Man!

 

End of Term Trip

All children from the Cara Playroom are invited on an end of term trip to Lochwinnoch Nature Reserve on Thursday 19th June.

A coach has been booked and paid for from funds raised following our recent Enterprise Event. There is an additional cost of £5.oo per child which covers the entrance fee to the Nature Reserve.

Please collect your child’s consent form from Mrs. Todd on Monday.

Children from Balta, Texa and Lamba will enjoy their trip over the summer playscheme.

Upcoming Events!

We have lots to come before the end of term:

Graduation Celebration Event: Wednesday 11th June from 6.30pm – 8pm

Dig Day: Tuesday 17th June – morning and afternoon – all invited

Miss Darroch’s Wedding Day! – Friday 20th June

Sports Day: Monday 23rd June – all invited

End of Term Parties: Tuesday 24th June – Am and PM

We are also trying very hard to re-schedule trips for children in Cara playroom before the end of term. The trips had previously been planned for the week of our inspection and had to be postponed. We will let you know as soon as we have trips organised.

Thank you!
