IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR FAMILIES

Dear Parent/Carer,

As you will know we are working hard at Camstradden to improve our attendance and late coming. Poor attendance is our biggest attainment gap. This means the children who do not attend school are not on track with their learning. If they were in school on time they would be more able to achieve their full potential. Please help us to support your children by ensuring your child attends school every day.

We also have large concerns surrounding the level of  late coming at Camstradden Primary. Every day we have over 30 children who are registered late for school. This number sometimes increases into the 70’s.

Late coming is detrimental to pupils learning and  is disruptive to the learning of others. Large numbers of children coming in late to school through the office also means our one member of clerical staff is unable to answer phones, processes registers, respond to emails or perform any other duties which has a negative impact in a variety of different ways. In order to improve late coming we require the support of all parents and carers to ensure children is in school on time each day. School starts at 9am and famines should ensure that pupils are in the playground and lined up before the bell sounds at 9am.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Yours

Miss Laura Davidson

Acting Head Teacher

Chinese New Year in Primary 1!

This term, Primary one have been learning about Chinese New Year.  We have been learning about Chinese symbols and what they represent.  We had a go at writing our names using Chinese symbols using fine paint brushes and black paint.  We worked alongside primary 5 to create lucky money wallets and shared a delicious snack of prawn crackers and fried rice.

Children have been enjoying exploring our new role play restaurant ‘The Golden Star’.  This links to ‘developing the young workforce’.  Children have enjoyed being the manager of the restaurant, waiter/waitress, cleaner, cashier and customer.  They have learned about handling money, communicating with others and writing orders.

What’s new in P7

We have finished our topic on Diversity which included learning on neurodiverse conditions such as ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism as well as learning about racism, apartheid and Nelson Mandela.
We launched our new topic in style by visiting the World War II exhibit about wartime Glasgow at the People’s Palace.
The worlds of Science and Art collided this week when we learned about the circulatory system and then used clay to sculpt a 3D model of the human heart. We will continue to look at body systems throughout this term.
In Maths, we are moving on from mental calculations and problem-solving using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Our new area of learning is geometry and we are getting to grips with triangles, protractors and compasses.
We had our first lesson with our Celtic football coach on Monday which was great fun – we decided that Rae had been player of the day. We are also looking forward to learning more Ultimate Frisbee with Mrs Nolan.
We would like to thank Mr Meehan and Mrs Drummond for joining us on our school trip.
