25 Days of Kindness

Balta, Cara, Texa, , , , , , , ,

Our ’25 Days of Kindness’ has drawn to a close today after 5 weeks of planning and implementation. The children have had a truly wonderful learning experience and can readily share their learning about the importance of giving to others.

Children have had opportunities throughout this time to talk about children and their families who may not have enough food to sustain them. The children have discovered this is true for our neighbours in East Renfrewshire as well as for children and families in far away countries.

Thank you so much for your support in this learning experience. Here are some photographs of the children delivering the items to St. Andrews Church Foodbank in Barrhead.

Welly Waddle

+My Diary, Balta, Cara, Eco Schools, Fundraising, General Information, Health and Wellbeing, Texa, Uncategorized, , , , , , ,

A letter went out recently asking for you to share your views on the best way to host our upcoming sponsored Welly Waddle fundraiser.

From the 68 letters than went out to parents, we had a total of 15 return slips with mixed responses.

6 parents said they would prefer the waddle to take place at Eastwood Park and were happy to meet there.

4 parents said they would prefer the waddle to take place in and around Isobel Mair School and Family Centre grounds.

3 parents said they would love to attend but had no preference to where the waddle takes place.

2 parents said they did not want to attend and therefore did not state where to waddle.

Following some discussion with staff it has been decided that we will offer both waddles!

Colette and Joanne or Donna will be at the car park at Eastwood Park at 10.30am and again at 2pm to meet children and parents ready for the park waddle. If you decide to waddle in the park you MUST stay with your child for the duration. Please bring along a small snack for your child too. Siblings and other family members are welcome to waddle along too!

All other staff will be waddling in and around the school and family centre grounds. Please come along and join us if you can!

Happy Halloween

Cara, ,

Our children had a fantastic time participating in some traditional games such as ‘dooking’ for apples this Halloween. Some children opted to use a fork and some preferred to dook! Whatever the method all children enjoyed a healthy Halloween snack apple. Thank you to all for putting in so much effort – the Halloween Parade looked great!
