Mrs N’s Notes ~ 1.3.19
My goodness…March already? I can hardly believe it!
This week has seen us enjoy some of the best weather we have experienced this session, with many classes taking their learning outside. Whether it was the Daily Mile, or drawing fractions in the playground, our pupils gave it their all! Miss Wyatt and the Eco Committee are involved in a very exciting project, developing a local Greenspace as a potential outdoor learning environment. They have carried out risk assessments and are already involved in talks with local businesses as to how we can make a creative area that can be used by ourselves and the local residents. More details coming your way as we find out what’s happening next!
Our P.6 pupils accepted the K’Nex challenge posed by Coatbridge High School staff this week. All pupils demonstrated excellent problem solving strategies, teamwork and resilience as they created structures to fulfil the design brief. We are now waiting to find out who will represent us at the transition event to be held at the high school.
P.5 completed their block of sports and swimming at the Time Capsule. We were delighted with the effort shown by all. During these sessions we witnessed non-swimmers becoming independent and confident in the water. Amazing! We are so proud of you all.
We took the opportunity to remind all pupils about the importance of Internet safety this week. We will continue to work with you as you do the same at home. As always, the safety or our children is our priority, whether they are at home, in school or in a virtual environment.
Could I take this opportunity to remind parents and carers of some safety rules to keep in mind as you drop your child off at school each morning and collect them each afternoon…
- no dogs are allowed in the school grounds
- there is no smoking allowed in the school grounds or at the school gate
- there is no parking available in the staff carpark
We know that parking in tight on Old Monkland Road and everyone won’t get a spot near the gates. Please allow yourself extra time to ‘Park & Stride’ – park a little further away and walk together. As always, these rules are in place to ensure the safety of your children. Thank you for your support in upholding them.
As we move into the weekend, can I wish all our Fundraisers and friends good luck as they try their hands at Bingo tonight!
Also I must remind our P.7 pupils to get plenty of sleep this weekend – Kilbowie is calling!! 😃 See you bright and early on Monday morning!!
