Week 1 Menus coming up. If your child pays for school meals, please ensure funds are added to the online payment system BEFORE they come for breakfast or lunch. We will never refuse a child food, but we don’t want you running up an unnecessary debt.
GLASGOW MUSIC FESTIVAL
We are looking forward to taking part in the Glasgow Music Festival at the Royal Concert Hall next week. Mrs McGregor has been working hard with our choir and we are ready for our best performance yet!
HAPPY PLACE WORKSHOP
The Young Mental Health Ambassadors from Coatbridge High School have organised a Cluster event on 13th March. We have been invited to take 4 P.6 pupils along. We are looking forward to taking part in the range of fun activities planned.
CROSS COUNTRY FINALS
Wednesday is a very busy day! We are delighted to be heading to the North Lanarkshire Cross Country finals that day too. We know that the 3 senior pupils taking part will be amazing ambassadors for our school, as always.
COFFEE MORNING
Our Parent Council members are hard at work organising their next Coffee Morning for next Thursday. It will kick off at the usual time of 9.15am and we hope some of our pupils will volunteer to showcase some learning. Bring some pennies and an appetite for cakes and goodies. This is always one of our more popular fundraising ventures and we do appreciate your ongoing support here.
STIRLING CASTLE ADVENTURE
Room 1 will be taking their learning outside the classroom next week when they visit Stirling Castle to bring their topic alive! We can’t wait to find out all that they learn on their day of adventure, when they step back in time.
OPEN AFTERNOON
We look forward to welcoming many of you for our next planned Open Afternoon on 21st March. The focus this time will be Developing our Young Workforce (DYW) and all classes can’t wait to demonstrate how they are extending their meta-skills across all learning. More information coming out to explain this next week.
CHS PUBLIC SPEAKING COMPETITION
We were thrilled to be involved in the recent P.6 Public Speaking Contest organised by Coatbridge High School as part of their transition programme. We had a tough job selecting ONE speaker to take part (I’m told Mr Haggarty was in tears and couldn’t pick!). The standard was amazingly high within our school and across the cluster. Many thanks to all who took part in class and at the high school on the day! We didn’t win, but our speaker received some amazing feedback and we are all very proud.
