Parent Evening
This will be held on the 24th November from 3.30-8pm. You will receive an appointment time and more details about this in the next day or two. Interim reports are being written at present and will be issued prior to parents evening. I look forward to seeing you all then.
Staffing
As always in school, there have been more staff changes. This is unavoidable and is something that we learnt to embrace positively. Every new member of staff will bring a new dimension to a team and we can use this to the benefit of the pupils. Pupils are missing Ms Tarbert but have welcomed Miss Bonner to Royston Primary. Miss Bonner is working in all classes and has settled in well. Pupils have been extremely welcoming and helping her feel ‘at home’.
We will be having teaching students start very soon in primary 1 and primary 2. Students do at times have full responsibility for their class however this is very closely overseen by the class teacher. We have also been very lucky to be chosen for ‘literacy clinic’. This is a programme run by Strathclyde University where some pupils are selected to work with teaching students in order to enhance their literacy skills.
We have a volunteer called Mickdona working with various classes. She is there to support pupils where she can, and gain some experience of school and teaching. Continue reading “November Newsletter”
Keeping busy
We have been busy at our clubs. Our Scratch club have been making more animations and we will try and get them up on the blog soon to show you them.
At Kodu club we have been working really hard on our entries for the KoduKup competition as we really want to make sure we get into the final again this year.
On Friday our club have been deisgning games so that we can learn a little more Gaelic and also once we are done teach the younger pupils about Gaelic.
We have enjoyed looking at the vistor map this week and have had vistors from around 10 different countries in the world and hope that over the coming weeks we can add lots more to the map.
