Please note the following instructions regarding Adverse Weather:

Adverse Weather

In the past, we have had severe disruption as a result of bad weather around this time last year. In the event of a similar situation arising this winter we have put a few strategies in place. East Renfrewshire schools will only be closed in extreme circumstance.

• If the school is closed during the course of a school day you will be contacted, in the first instance, by text message. Please ensure we have a current mobile phone number on our records for this purpose.
• The text will ask you to make arrangements to collect your child as soon as possible. You cannot reply to this message.
• Please don’t telephone the school unless absolutely necessary as we have a limited number of external lines.
• Your child will be kept here until someone comes for him/her.
• Once the school has been officially closed regular updates will be posted on the East Renfrewshire and school website and updates posted on Twitter.

In the event of heavy snow as first priority our janitor will clear a path to the breakfast club door from the stairs. Look out for signs directing you if we have to make any changes to the usual routine.

Thank you!

Just a little reminder that St Mark’s Primary runs a FREE Early Bird Club every morning from 8.00 am until the start of school, 8.45 am.

The Early Bird Club is a great way to start the school day, where the children have the opportunity to do a range of activities such as

• musical instruments
• board games
• art materials
• chromebooks
• homework support (good chance to use free school Wifi)
• physical activities, etc.

The club is completely free and open to everyone and you can even have some breakfast.

This week’s whole school homework focuses on the Show Racism the Red Card campaign.

if you would like to discuss this more with your child please see the link above.

Normal homework still continues this week; see the inside cover of your child’s Home Learning jotter.

Children have been assigned education city homework for their maths this week based on the topics they have been learning in class, this progress can be tracked online by myself. Children’s log in details for Education City are glued in to the back of their homework jotters 🙂 should there be any issues with homework or questions please don’t hesitate to ask 🙂

Thanks,

Hi everyone!

Primary 3 would like you to come along to their coffee and chat.  They will be using chrome books to discuss their homework and their class blog.  In March the children will be doing a personal talk on the rainforest they would like to talk to you about that too. It will be held on 27/02/19 @ 9.15am.

Hope to see you there!

Thanks,

P3b and Miss Queen x

Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope that you all had a lovely break.

The boys and girls have been given home a sheet about leading their own learning for homework this week, this will help in class to plan our topic this term which is the rain-forest. It would be really helpful to have the children’s input, if this could be completed and returned for Friday that would be great 🙂
