Caledonian Braves FC

We had a visit from Ricky Waddle, Manager of Caledonian Braves Football Club located in Strathclyde Park.  Ricky spoke to pupils in assembly about the history of the club and the importance of club values. Ricky encouraged everyone to go along and support their most local football club. We look forward to working closely with the Caledonian Braves on some exciting projects in the future.

Building Resilience

Resilience is a key factor in protecting and promoting good mental health. This whole-school programme aims to look at ten different things that can help support children to develop resilience.

The programme will run over a three-year period. Each theme is introduced with a launch assembly and the key messages are followed up in class activities and at follow-up assemblies. A parent and carer information leaflet will be provided for each theme.

How you can help:

Each theme has a ‘Talk It Over’ section to encourage you to share some of your life’s learning with your child. There is also a related ‘Home Activity’ to support learning at home.

Our first leaflet can be found at the end of this newsletter.

Open Afternoons

Thank you to all the parents and carers who attended our Open afternoons. What a great turn out! It was so lovely to see the community back in school, sharing in our learning.

Here are a very small collection of some of the lovely comments left in our Golden Book:

‘Great to see all the work going on in class. Keep up the great work. You’re all superstars.’

Bank Holiday – Monday 19 September 2022

Following the announcement that the day of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on Monday 19 September 2022 is to be a bank holiday, all schools and early learning establishments will be closed as a mark of respect.

 Queen Elizabeth II

We were all saddened to hear the news on Thursday of the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

Just this week, we took receipt of a free book for each child in P1-7 as a memento of her Platinum Jubilee year.  We have decided to still issue these to the children and they will be sent home on Friday.  In the circumstances, I’m sure many children will appreciate this special memento.
