In January, we will be launching a Family Learning programme for Primary 2 parents and children called Families Connect. Families Connect focuses on supporting parents and children to learn together. It helps parents to support their children’s learning in three key areas: Literacy, Numeracy and Emotional Development. The eight-week programme provides a series of activities, techniques and games that parents /carers can do with their children at home.
We are hosting a Families Connect coffee morning at our first Community Café on Friday 11th January 2019 from 10.45 – 12.00. All Primary 2 parents are invited to find out more about the programme and sign up. At the coffee morning we will discuss how the programme works and the impact we expect it to have.
If successful in gaining a place on the Families Connect Programme parents/carers will be required to attend all 8 sessions with their child. We have detailed below these dates. During the sessions parents/carers will work with the other parents/carers and their own child. Food and refreshments for all adults and children is provided at each session.
- Wednesday 6th Feb 12.30 – 3pm
- Thursday 14th Feb 1-3pm
- Thursday 21st Feb 1-3pm

We very much look forward to seeing you all at our Families Connect coffee morning and working with you at Families Connect. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at the school.
A letter with all of the above information has been sent out to Primary 2 parents/carers today. Please read and complete the tear off slip and return to the school by Thursday the 27th of December 2018.
Thank you for your continued support.
