Ibrox Primary School

Please see attached information for our Outdoor Learning timetable this term.

Children who are at the park all day will be provided with a packed lunch from the dinner hall or can bring their own.

All P2 children (including those in P1/2) will go to the park on Friday.

Please ensure children come suitably dressed to learn outside as we visit the park in all weathers.

Morning all,

It was lovely to see everyone looking so happy and smart this morning. We have a new consent form for photo permission (see attached document) which is now required in Glasgow schools.

Social Media Consent.docx

This consent allows children to be photographed/videoed and the images/film used on our school communication channels. At Ibrox all staff use Twitter, Showbie, we have our school app, Youtube channel, and blog (our website.) As you will be aware we love to share our learning and it is a great way of showing all our wonderful work, giving you an insight to what happens in your child’s classroom. The new social media consent form will be sent home today. Please sign this and return ASAP- by Friday 20th August at latest, as until we have the forms back we are unable to share  photos on any of our platforms.

If you wish to discuss any aspect of this please call the school and ask to speak to me.

Kind Regards

Mrs Chalmers

Please see info attached about which gate your child should use to access the playground

We are looking forward to welcoming our new Primary 1 children to start school.

Arrangements for the first week are as follows,

Monday 16th August

• AM- children should come into the playground at 9:10am through the main gate and can be accompanied by parents. Parents can take a photo and children will be met by their class teacher, SfLWs, CDO and the management team. Class teachers will take the children to class from here.
• PM- children should be collected at 1:30pm from the playground. Class teachers will bring them to the playground at this time.

Please note that a 2m distance should be maintained between adults and face coverings worn in the playground.

Tuesday- Friday

Parents should remain outside the gates 

• AM- children should arrive at school for a soft start between 8:50 and 9am. Children should be left at the main gate to enter the playground and will go straight to class.
• PM- children will be brought to the playground by their class teacher at 2:50pm and will be dismissed when the teacher sees a parent between 2:50 and 3pm.

On Friday we would like to take the opportunity to answer any questions or concerns from the first week. Members of the management team will be in the playground at either 9:05am or 2:30pm to discuss any queries.

If you have any questions regarding these plans please email Headteacher@ibrox-pri.glasgow.sch.uk or use the direct message function on @ibroxps Twitter account.

MMcK – Parent-Carer – Summer Payment

Please click above to read information from Maureen McKenna. Those entitled are families which are in receipt of FSM/ Clothing grant benefit.

School closes tomorrow at 1pm for the start of our Summer Holidays. In order to allow us to still stagger finish times P1-3 will be dismissed at 12:50pm and P4-7 will be dismissed at 1pm 

There will be a guard of honour for our P7 leavers in the upper playground with children from P4, P5 and P6 lining the front of the sheds. Please note children will remain in class bubbles.

P7 will leave through the front door before heading through the guard of honour towards Edminston Drive. They will then exit from the big gate (usual exit.)

Please remember to wear a face mask and maintain physical distancing on collection of children. We are unable to allow any adults into the playground.

We will be holding a sports day on Tuesday afternoon with all children walking to Bellahouston Park in their classes to take part in some Euro themed activities.

Please note that children will remain within their class bubble and we are unable to have parents watching due to covid restrictions. 

Children can come to school dressed in any sportswear they wish. Each class has selected a country to represent and your child may wish to wear a colour associated with this country if they wish. Please do not feel the need to purchase new clothing in a particular colour, this is not required.

Classes have chosen as below

P1- Scotland – blue/white

P1/2- Wales- red/green

P2/3- Germany- black/yellow/red

P3- Switzerland- red/white
