We hope to establish a library committee comprising pupils, staff and parents in order to refurbish our current provision. Anyone who has an interest in or experience in this area would be most welcome to join! We really need your support with this venture.  Thanks to the PTA who have agreed to contribute to the development.  Any ideas and volunteers should contact Miss Cumming (DHT) who will lead this initiative.

We are rolling out a homework option across the school and I know many of you have taken up this opportunity. This facility gives the children an interactive option for homework whilst extending their skills development in Maths, Language, Science and French. We hope to maximise the potential in the coming months. Please see http://www.educationcity.com/ for additional information. We will have a demo workshop during Parents night for those of you who wish for further details .

Thank you to families who have brought unused Lego into school.  We would still be delighted to accept any old Lego, which is in good condition.  This will be used throughout the school and the nursery.

Please remember Mearns Primary School is a “nut free” school, as many of our children have nut allergies.  Please do not give your child any snacks containing nuts or sandwiches with nut spreads, such as peanut butter or ‘Nutella’.

Please make sure your child wears black shoes.  I have noticed some children wearing bright coloured trainers which are obviously not school uniform.  All children should have navy shorts, a white polo shirt and gym shoes or trainers for PE.  Please remind your child to bring his/her PE kits on gym days.

Well done to P5.   We all enjoyed the Burns Supper yesterday afternoon. 

Pictures to follow.

Parent Council will meet at 7pm this evening in the Music Room.

Playwriting  for P7 – S4

 Tips, games and creative exercises to get the ideas flowing: from mind to paper to actors in performance. Exploring character, plot and genres, each participant will be supported in working on their own short script. This is writing for fire and fascination – perfect punctuation not a prerequisite!

At the end of the process the scripts will be performed by actors on the stage at Eastwood Park Theatre for an invited audience.

Mondays 6:00pm – 7:00pm
Eastwood Park Theatre Art Workshop
(10 weeks from 24^th January – performance 31^st March)
