St Albert's Family Learning

Good afternoon!
I am creating our new Family Learning Wall and I would love to share your family success stories. I know you all have loads….

How has our school changed you? Your family? Your life?

I know some of you have volunteered in school & been involved in activities and events. This has led to you going to college, getting a job, helping your children more at home, meeting new friends or simply gaining more confidence in yourself.

I would love to showcase your special story on our wall. Please send me a blurb of your experiences and achievements.. a photograph would be lovely too, to my email below.

Thank you so much!

International Women’s Day

To celebrate International Women’s day on Tuesday 8th March we are hosting a Ladies Lunch @ 1pm. 

There will be guest speakers, games, music and a buffet lunch.

This lunch has been a great success in past so I hope many of you will come along and bring your female friends/relatives.

Tickets are £5 and can be purchased by sending an envelope with your name and money into school.

Looking forward to seeing you.

Good Afternoon

Next week is National Story Telling week so we will be looking at stories from different cultures old and new. Reading with your child is very important to increase vocabulary and understanding. In the past we have had our parents come into school to read with classes and the children really enjoyed it. Unfortunately we are unable to invite you in but we would be delighted if you could read to our children outdoors.

I’m looking for volunteers to come into our outdoor area to read to groups of children next week. This could be a book of your choice in any language you wish. Please phone the office if you wish to be involved stating the date and time you are available.

Thank you so much for your continued support especially during these difficult times.

Good Morning!

I hope everyone had a lovely holiday. Your children seem happy and excited to be back at school.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Christmas Fayre. We were very disappointed that we could not invite families however our children had an amazing day and raised a grand total of £706 for school funds.

We also made a start towards fundraising for our ‘Wee Playground’. We are hoping to be able to create a play space for our children to explore, investigate and learn. Our Christmas raffle raised £200 and we aim to raise much more. All fundraising ideas welcome!

Christmas Jumper Day raised over £150 for our children’s charity. The ‘Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity’. We will have another fundraiser this month. Again.. all ideas welcome!

I’m hoping we can start up our family learning workshops again soon. Please comment here or contact me directly with workshops you are interested in.. online or in person.

Thank you, Keep Safe!
