Week 2 menu ahead in both the school and nursery.
Remember Breakfast Club is available for all pupils from P.1-P.7. Mrs Stewart opens Breakfast Club at 8.15am each morning. Pupils start by eating their breakfast, then they can play table-top games until school starts. No need to book. P.1-5 pupils receive a free breakfast due to the Universal Offer of free meals for this age group.
PANTO MONEY
Many thanks to everyone who has already paid for their Pantomime Tickets. As with any theatre performance, we need to pay the tickets in full in advance. We therefore need all tickets paid by NEXT FRIDAY.
Please remember, if you are facing financial constraints right now, please discuss this with our office staff and we will work out a plan that works for you. NO CHILD WILL MISS THE TRIP DUE TO FINANCIAL ISSUES.
DEVELOPING OUR YOUNG WORKFORCE
This year, we are focusing on developing the national initiative of Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) across all levels, from nursery to P.7. This is a main strand of our Improvement Plan for the coming session.
This week several classes and pupil voice groups have launched into this with enthusiasm:
- our Outdoor Learning Committee has written letters to local businesses, explaining what they are trying to do and asking for assistance to improve our outdoor space.
- P.6 had a full day working with Matt Stewart of Entrepreneur Me, launching their Do Good Campaign. They will now plan a venture that will have a positive impact on our local community.
- P.7 started their business plan to raise funds to partially pay for their upcoming Outdoor Learning Week in Strathclyde Park. They began by organising their first fundraiser today; our dress-down & ice-pole day.
- Rooms 9 & 16 invited our local Community Police Officer in, to hear about his current role and quiz him on how he got there
- Room 9 visited Sky Academy; learning about the world of work within a workplace.
- our nursery pupils continue to have daily opportunities to role-play adult roles in society and develop the skills they will need to succeed.
- Pupil Voice committees are being established across the school, allowing learners the opportunity to leading initiatives, developing skills for Learning, Life & Work
I know they say they did nothing when they come home…but I assure you learning is taking place, even when school is fun! If we can instil a joy for learning in your child’s life we are delighted.

Many thanx
No, the pantomime visit is for the school only. We have found that the ‘big theatre’ experience can be overwhelming for our youngest learners. The Nursery will organise their own festive celebrations in December.
