Ibrox Primary School

Our next non-uniform day will be Friday 25th November where we will be asking children to bring a donation for their class hamper to dress down. Last year our Christmas Hamper draws were very successful and generated a lot of excitement. We also raised over £500 for school funds. Class teachers will communicate the theme for each class hamper and if you are able to, a donation would be appreciated.

As last session, we will not be asking for Children in Need donations as we are trying to minimise additional costs to the school day.

Every year P2 and P3 are gifted a Read, Write, Count bag by the Scottish Book Trust. These bags contain 2 lovely books, along with resources which can be used to support shared activities and learning at home.

Information sessions will be held next week to allow the resources to be discussed and information shared about how best to support your child’s reading at home. Hoping that lots of you can make it-

All Primary 2 children- Parent Info Session- Monday 14th November at 2:15pm 

Primary 3 children- Parent Info Session- Wednesday 16th November at 2:15pm 

Sessions will run in the Family Room and parents are welcome to stay for a tea/coffee/biscuit and chat until 2:55pm.

It has been lovely to see so many fantastic school photographer pictures on Twitter.

All children were issued with details on the day that photos were taken about how to access the website. The website can be found here www.clickfoto.co.uk

If anyone has lost their child’s access code please call the school office.

Our Parent/Carer meetings will be held on Wednesday 30th November. These meetings allow you to chat with your child’s class teacher about the progress they are making.

We are offering afternoon (3:15-5:30pm) and evening appointments (6:00-8:15pm) which will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

Letters will come home tomorrow. Please return these by Friday 4th November to allow us to allocate appointments. Please ensure you return a slip to each child’s class teacher to allow siblings to be given appointments close together.

FAMILY DISCO- Wednesday 26th October 

We are delighted to be hosting our first big family event post covid! Interest in this event was huge, thanks to everyone who applied for tickets using the link on the app/blog/twitter. Over 170 people have asked to attend. In order to ensure everyone can safely have fun we have had to split the disco into 2 sessions.

Tickets were sent home today- please look carefully to check if you are attending the 430-515pm slot or 530-615pm slot. Unfortunately we are unable to swap you into a different time slot. If you no longer wish to attend please call the school office and leave a message for Mrs Chalmers. Please note there are no tickets left for this event. 

HALLOWEEN SHED

P1-P4 Thursday 27th October

P5/4-P7 Friday 28th October

Our amazing parent council are back with their super spooky Halloween shed! Classes will visit over Thursday 27th and Friday 28th October. Children can come dressed for Halloween on the day of their visit if they choose.

PLEASE NOTE IF CHILDREN DO NOT WISH TO DRESS UP THEY CAN WEAR UNIFORM AS NORMAL. WE ARE NOT CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN ON MONDAY 31st OCTOBER, CHILDREN SHOULD COME TO SCHOOL IN UNIFORM AS NORMAL.

All Primary 7 parents should have received a letter directly from CBS Hub with information on transfer to Secondary School. These were sent out by the hub on Wednesday 12th October. Please ensure these letters are returned directly to CBS Hub as they are not something we can process in school. If you did not receive a letter to your home address please let the school office know.

If you wish to make a placing request for your child for Secondary School the online form can be found here

October 2022

Have a read of our most recent newsletter.

We are looking to raise the profile of reading in our school and ensure our lovely new library is well used. Please take a moment to share your views and offer any support you can.

Last week Mrs Chalmers visited Govan Help to discuss the variety of services they provide to local families. All families living within the G51/G52 postcode are welcome. They are based in the Pearce Institute which is around a 20 minute walk from Ibrox Primary.

The Family Learning sessions run on Thursdays after school. They have just finished a block of Zumba and are currently doing a block of family games. The block after the October holiday week will be led by the Glasgow Science Centre and focus on STEM activities.

On a Thursday morning they run Govan Tots, for any children under 5 and parents.

On a Thursday afternoon they run a parent support group for parents of children with Autism or other neurodivergent conditions. This group allows parents to support each other and share advice.

Govan Help can also provide support with any issues around housing, benefits or debt. See attached pictures for more info on all sessions. If anyone would like any further info please speak to Mrs Chalmers

See information about this exciting event on Saturday 15th October
