We would be grateful for any parents to accompany us.
Meet the Author – Tuesday 25th August.
As part of the Edinburgh International Book Festival, our Primary 4 classes have been invited along to Giffnock Community Library to meet author Elen Caldecott.
The children will leave the school at 10.30am and walk to Giffnock Library returning at 12.30pm.
Meet the teacher
There will be an opportunity for you to meet your child’s new teacher on Thursday 3rd September between 6 and 7pm. This informal event will enable you to see your child’s new class and obtain a n overview of the curriculum for the year.
There will not be an opportunity to discuss individual progress on this evening. This can be done through contacting the school office at any time or at formal Parent’s evenings which will take place on the 7th and 8th October.
Maths and Numeracy Parent Guides
A group of staff have worked to produce parent guides on different aspects of Maths and Numeracy in order to help parents and carers gain insight into how we teach particular concepts. Links to these can be found below. These will also be available in the ‘Information’ section of our website. We are confident that you will find these booklets both helpful and informative.
