We are delighted to welcome everybody back after their Christmas Break. The children have all commented on how good their holiday was and now they are really buckling down to some serious hard work.
Primary 6 and 7 have been busy this week preparing their audition pieces for our forthcoming production of Alice in Wonderland. Primary 5 pupils will be involved in the chorus of this production and they will be joining rehearsals shortly. As we are doing this as a whole school production all pupils in the school will be using this as the basis of their social studies work this term.
Primary 4 are also beginning their food topic and will be tying this into their Clyde in the Classroom Project. They will be visiting Glasgow Science Centre later this month to learn how to care for their fish eggs. Hopefully we will be able to release lots of trout into the Clyde when they have all hatched.
If your child is in P1-3 you will be aware that they are now entitled to a free lunch in school. We are delighted with the uptake of this so early in the term, our infant dinner numbers have increased substantially, however we now need to look at the best way to manage this to ensure that all children also have time to play at lunchtime. We have been trying out a few different ways to manage the time this week and hopefully by Tuesday of next week we will have a systematic plan in place to ensure that all children have time for both lunch and play!
If you know of any child who is due to begin school in August please remember that our enrolments begin on Monday 12th through to Wednesday 14th – every afternoon from 1:30 until 3:00. Please pass this information on to any family/friends whose child is due to begin school.
