COP26 Our Dear Green Place

Last week our Primary 7 children worked on a video submission as part of the launch of Our
Dear Green Place, Getting Ready for COP26.

We created two videos where we shared the work our establishment has already completed and undertaking for Learning for Sustainability. Our second video was about the ‘pledge’ our establishment is going to do moving forward and how we will carry this out.

Watch our videos here:

Hyndland Primary Recipe Book

This session our Parent Council are looking at ways in fundraise money for our school. They are going to be creating a Hyndland Primary Recipe Book with recipes from our families and local community. We would love for as many people to get involved as possible and it would be great to capture recipes from every culture and nationality represented at Hyndland Primary.

 

If you would like to submit a recipe such as a favourite family dish, homemade bake, lockdown lifesaver or favourite tipple then we would love to hear from you! Please submit your recipe at the link below by Wednesday the 21st of April.

Family submission: https://forms.office.com/r/fbjpuL0CwZ

 

Alternatively, if you are a local restaurant, bakery, eatery, or chef, we would love for you to share a recipe with us to be included in the book. We would also like to hear what inspired you to start cooking/baking/making to encourage our young people to start their creative journeys! You can submit your recipe at the link below by Wednesday the 21st of April.

Partick & Thornwood Ideas Fund

Our local Annexe Communities Group group have opened a fund aimed at under 18s applying for individual funding. You may remember the school was awarded funds for outdoor learning just before Christmas, when our P7 pupils put forward a video proposal. The individual funding being offered this time, may be beneficial for some of our pupils who perhaps have limited devices at home for the purpose of Home learning. All applications will need to be supported by an adult sponsor. Further information and applications will be Groupcalled out to all our families today

Tea Towels and School Calendar

The pupils of Hyndland Primary School have been busy drawing miniature self portraits to be
included on a tea towel. There are two designs: one for Primary 1-3 and one for Primary 4-7.
The tea towels cost £4 each with £2 from every sale going towards school funds.

Each class were asked to design a page for the school calendar and the staff at Afty were given the difficult job of choosing a winner from each class. They wanted everyone to know how impressed they were with the work produced by all of the pupils.

Afty have kindly offered the use of their printer to help with the production of the calendars. These will be sold at £3 with all proceeds going towards school fund.

If you wish to purchase any of these things, please fill in and return the envelope that was sent home with your child, including the correct money.

Christmas Lunch Orders

This year, due to COVID, we are not asking for orders to be returned on paper. Instead, we are asking parents/carers to look over the menu options with their child(ren) and for children to come into school on Thursday 3rd December this week with their choices decided so they can order via class teachers the same way they would usually make their lunch choices.

The letter below was sent to families on Monday the 30th of November.
