Takeaway Pi
We have just embarked on a small pilot to allow some children from the computer clubs to take a raspberry pi home for a month. This is to allow them to get some quality time to try out programming and see what they can do with the pi when they have some more time to try things out. At club we only get an hour a week so this is a great opportunity for the children.
They were given everything to take home apart from the monitor and some resources to get them started.
We look forward to seeing how they get on and will get them to feedback to us so that we can then run the scheme again.

Welcome to our Media Group
We are the Media group at Royston Primary and for the past year have been meeting and tweeting about what we do in school. We have now taken this a step further and are giving podcasting a go. We have created a podcast to tell you what each of our classes has been doing in the school over this term and we hope you enjoy it.

March Newsletter
Dear Parent/Carer
Once again we are approaching the end of another busy term here in Royston Primary. With this in mind, I wanted to pass on some important information for all our parents and carers.
Parent Council – As mentioned previously, the Parent Council have been busy on your behalf, working in school and outside. At our recent meeting, they were able to share some information around the proposed Playground Improvements that they have been working hard to achieve. Funding is now almost in place to allow this to happen and following discussions between the company involved, the Parent Council and our Pupil Council, we hope to see this work start in the coming months. Some parents also spoke with the Parent Council about some issues around the playgrounds recently, especially in relation to scaffolding tower and its implications for playgrounds. As you can now see, the tower has been taken down and the work was completed satisfactorily. Hopefully, this will allow the playground situations to return to normal. Thanks to the parents who raised this with the Parent Council.
Parental Open Afternoon – On Tuesday 31st March the children from across all the classes would like you to come in and see the hard work that has been taking place in the school in recent weeks. From 1.30 pm until 2.30 pm you are all invited to come in and find out about things such as Magic Carpets in Primary 2 or Our Community in Primary 5/4 or life as a Pirate in Primary 7, followed by teas and coffees until 3 pm. Our children and staff are busy creating learning opportunities to share with you on the day and would be delighted to see you there. Continue reading “March Newsletter”
