Scottish week in P4a

As part of Scottish week in P4a we were reading Neeps and Tatties by Carey Morning.
We worked together to translate Scots words from the book into English. We also built Scottish landmarks in the playroom, created our own versions of Scottish comics, played body percussion to keep the beat to some Scottish music and used Charles Rennie Mackintosh as some inspiration for art.

Homework Policy

Following our consultation with pupils, parents/carers and teaching staff we have refreshed our homework policy moving in to term 3. This will ensure consistency across the school and will ensure we are meeting the needs of all of our pupils and families. Just under half of our families felt that home learning was important, with over a fifth of families sharing they felt it was not important. A very high number of families also share that they found home learning stressful, frustrating, a struggle and demanding. Almost all families felt that reading was important and this is why we have referenced the importance of reading for pleasure in our new policy. We have also introduced a termly extended family learning activity. A copy of our homework policy can be viewed by clicking on the link below –

Christmas Community Events – December 2023

Dear Families,

We know that Christmas is a busy time and we are trying to condense our information sharing for you all as much as possible. However we have been made aware of few local events that may be of interest to you and your family over the festive season.

We have been contacted by a community member who organises the ‘Santa Stop Visits’ in the Robroyston area. This year it is planned for Friday the 15th of December. Unfortunately it could not go head last year due to a lack of volunteers. The team are looking for volunteers to help this year. If you are able to help out please contact the school by replying to this email and we will pass your details on to the organisers. They team are also looking for donations of selection boxes to ensure every child gets one during the community event. If you are able to help out in any way, please contact us at the school.

On Saturday the 2nd of December from 1-4pm, Robroyston Church (34 Saughs Drive, G33 1HG) are hosting their Christmas Table Top Sale & Café. A range of items will be on sale including crafts, home-baking and new & preloved items. Admission cost for adults is £3.50 and 50p for a child. This includes tea and coffee and home- baking.

The Wallacewell Community Fellowship are also running a ‘Breakfast with Santa’ event on Saturday the 16th of December. To book your place, please click on the link below –
