Dyslexia Parents Evening
School Library
Primary 5a officially opened our new school library last week. They were very excited to be the first pupils in the school to explore the shelves and borrow a book. They loved the new books and scanning equipment-just like a real library! The library is bright and colourful and the children particularly liked the reading quotes which decorate the wall.

Beauty and the Beast
Some photos of last weeks panto visit from M & M Productions. The children had a great time watching the performance and singing along with the characters.
Active Schools
ER Active Schools/Sport Development are recruiting volunteers to help on their sport/physical activity programmes. This could be helping with after school clubs, community clubs, festivals, holiday programmes etc. How much time you volunteer is entirely up to the individual – it may be one hour per week, 4 hours per week, one event every few months, a holiday programme etc If you, or know anyone over 16 who would be keen to be involved please come along to Williamwood High School (conference room) on 16th Jan at 6pm to find out more.
Clyde in the Classroom
Primary 6 are very excited to be a part of the Clyde in the Classroom initiative. Shortly we are to receive a visit to talk to us about exactly what will be involved in this project. We know that we will be responsible for looking after and nurturing around 250 trout eggs. These will arrive in a hatchery, and one of the responsibilities we will have is to ensure it is kept at the correct temperature – we need bottles of ice to keep it nice and cool. We have been collecting these and hope we have enough.
The project will run for around two months, and the final stage will be when we release our hatched brown trout into the burn. We will probably be quite sad to see them go!
Please check back regularly as we will be creating our own blog to keep you updated on the progress of our eggs. We plan to upload lots of pictures of the various stages of development.
