Reusable Water Bottles
One of our pupils has been working hard supporting the reduction of our Carbon Footprint. Following a school project where she produced a PowerPoint to emphasize the use of single use plastic bottles in schools across Scotland, she took her concerns to East Renfrewshire Councillors.
The councillors listened and have now passed a motion to work towards making East Renfrewshire a ‘single-use-plastic free’ authority. Well done to Emelia for all her great work taking this forward. In relation to this, we would like to remind all parents that children should bring reusable water bottles to school and can refill these at our water machines located throughout the building.
Request for Parent Helpers
We are delighted that school life has pretty much returned to normal and we are now organising lots of school events and trips. We are therefore now, once again, looking for parent volunteers and helpers. If you are able to help at all at any point throughout the school week or in the evenings, we would appreciate it if you could complete the online form and also confirm whether you are currently PVG registered. Many thanks.
Primary 1 and Primary 2: Pre-Loved Items
As you know, children lead their own learning through play in P1 and P2. Children’s ideas and interests are a key consideration when planning for our classroom and Open Area. We are once again, on the hunt for pre-loved items related to the children’s interests. These are items that you would otherwise be throwing away.
This week, we would very gratefully receive the following resources to support our role play and creativity area:
- Old (clean) socks
- Cardboard boxes (various sizes)
- Range of textile materials, fabric such as scarves, ribbons, laces, scrunchies
- Cotton reels, curtain rings, beads, buttons, tubes, tins, springs, marbles, bangles, pegs
- Natural resources such as stones, sea shells, feathers, pine cones, leaves, sticks, conkers, acorns…
If you have, and are finished with, any of these types of items, please place any donations into a bag and leave this in our Recycled Donations Box situated at the main school office entrance next week. Many, many thanks.
Primary 4: Trip
An email was sent to P4 parents with details of the upcoming trip.
Primary 7: Bikeability Training
An email was sent to P7 parents with information about Bikeability Training.
Crossing Patroller
We have been notified that on Wednesday 25th, there will be no crossing patrolling in the afternoon at Clarkston Road.
As always, I hope you have a lovely weekend.
