Mrs N’s Notes, 10.9.21
Remember to check our Week 2 menus for the week ahead in both the school and nursery. All of our nursery pupils are enjoying coming to the dinner hall for their ‘Loving Lunch’. It is great to be able to let them become more familiar with the whole school building now.
ALL Primary 1-4 pupils continue to receive a free lunch and free breakfast if required. Breakfast Club runs daily from 8.15am for all school-age children. There is no need to book, just meet Mrs Stewart in the dinner hall and order your food!
WORKING HARD IN KIRKSHAWS
It is lovely to see our school coming to life again after the summer holidays. Empty walls are colourful again, jotters are filling up and eager learners are desperate to learn new skills and extend their knowledge of the world.
I know you always enjoyed coming into school to ‘Meet the Teacher’ at this time of year. Unfortunately, for the second year in a row, that won’t be possible due to current restrictions.
But don’t worry – as always, we WILL find a solution to the problem. All classes are working on short videos of their class to share with everyone at home. We are aiming to have these finished over the next two weeks and we will share them on Teams for all our families to enjoy.
PARENTS PORTAL
Last year we encouraged you to log into our Parents’ Portal. Some families took up this offer, but we know there are many more who haven’t accessed it yet. Click the link to see what services you can access using this free resource:
PRIMARY 7 OUTDOOR ADVENTURE
Next week our Primary 7 pupils are off on an outdoor learning activity week, organised by Active Schools. This week of adventure is held at Strathclyde Park, with the pupils attending each day. Here’s hoping for some decent weather!
All P.7 pupils are reminded to make sure they are in school on time every day next week – we don’t want anyone missing the bus! Remember to check the notes Mr Gall sent home after your meeting this week: old clothes are the order of the day. No good school uniforms next week, P.7!
NURSERY UPDATE
All Children’s Profiles will be sent home in the coming weeks for parents and carers to consult with us on target setting. Your child’s Key Worker will have set initial targets and will welcome your input. Your child’s Key Worker will speak to you when it is time to take the Profile home.
LOST PROPERTY!
Please remember to check your child’s name is on all items of clothing, lunch boxes, water bottles, etc. We have a pile of lost items already building up, with no names to help us find their owners. P.1-3 parents should check the photo below…if anything here looks familiar, pop into the school office to collect it next week.
PARENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE
Many thanks to those who have already completed the questionnaire I posted last week. If you haven’t yet had the chance, it will stay open for one more week.
