Hi Parents/Carers,

Building on from the personal identity research that the children have been given for homework, we would love to invite some parent’s/carers/grandparents into the school in the next few weeks to be interviewed by the children. We’d value your help in enhancing the childrens’ understanding of some of the themes we will tackle within our class novel ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class.’ The book explores issues of diversity/identity and the children would really benefit from hearing about first-hand experiences of people/families that have moved to Scotland within the past couple of generations.

The pupils will prepare questions, so there is no expectation that you would need to present anything on the day. The interview with the children can last as long as suits the individual but probably no more than 45 minutes. If you feel that you are able to contribute your personal experiences within this interviewing project, please see the Google Form attached and note down day/times that suit. From the responses, we will try and invite as many of you in as we can in separate slots. Responses welcomed by Friday 13th January.
