St Albert's Family Learning

Hello

As you know our COP 26 Art Exhibition will take place on Tuesday 9th November. Each class will display an installation related to their learning of climate change.

I would like to invite some parents to work with a local group to design an installation all about climate change. You will have the opportunity to contribute ideas, plan and design your art piece which will be displayed at the art exhibition.

This session will take place next Tuesday 2nd November @ 11 – 1pm (lunch will be provided). Please email me if you would be interested in joining our group.

At St Albert’s we are blessed with truly amazing outdoor spaces.  These natural areas are fast becoming essential areas for learning beyond the traditional classroom environment.  Research has proven that learning outdoors has many benefits including:

• Improving focus and concentration levels
• Developing awareness of environmental issues
• Appreciation of natural spaces
• Working as part of a team
• Developing knowledge and understanding of risk and how to be safe

With these benefits in mind, St Albert’s are pioneering a new initiative to promote outdoor learning involving parents and families.  We would be delighted if you would like to work and play with your child/children outdoors in the beautiful surroundings of our school and local community.  Activities would include:

• Shelter building
• Natural art
• The science of nature
• Solving environmental problems
• Fire building (including eating delicious toasted marshmallows!)

If you are interested or if you have any questions about this amazing opportunity please email me at the address below.

I look forward to seeing you and having loads of fun in the outdoors! We hope to begin these sessions after the October break, times would be arranged to suit.

Kind regards,

Mr Corrigan

Dear Parents/Carers

Maths Week Scotland is back! During the week beginning 27th September we will be exploring how maths will help us to fight climate change and how we use maths in our daily lives. We would like the children to be aware that maths is all around us in our daily lives and in the jobs we do. This might include being a cashier, doing your daily shopping, ordering stock, accountancy, running your own business, engineering, architecture, health care, creating artwork, baking cakes…and loads more.

We need your help! Please can you spare some time to come and talk to a couple of classes about how you use maths in your job or daily life? It can be everything from the most basic maths to more complex concepts.

If you are able to help, please email me (Claire Rodger) on gw10rodgerclaire@glow.ea.glasgow.sch.uk or phone the school and ask to speak to me.

Please see the maths week Scotland website for more information.

Many thanks
