It might have been a short week, but we’ve still managed to fit in an unbelievable amount of work! If you’ve been into school this week, you probably noticed a few changes underway. We are re-vamping our wall displays and reorganising space to make the most of our learning environment. You may see that our Wider Achievements wall is no longer outside the office…but DON’T WORRY! It is still thriving,
My week started of with a quick trip to Coatbridge Library. This year, Kirkshaws will be taking part in the Primary Reading Quiz which is open to all primary schools in North Lanarkshire. As always, we have a willing band of volunteers ready to take on another challenge. This holiday weekend I have four senior students committed to reading the set texts…which are pretty substantial books. I know they will

One more week until our mid-term break next weekend. Remember school is closed Monday 12th & Tuesday 13th February. Pupils do not attend on Wednesday 14th either, as this is a teachers’ in-service training day. Monday night is our next Parent Council Meeting. All parents welcome. Over the next few weeks we will introduce text messaging as a further means of communication with home. Please let the office know if
We finished off our Scottish month with a celebration of learning, covering song, poetry and art.

Clubs are all up and running this week. There are still spaces in the P.1-3 Family Fitness Club on Monday afternoon – contact the school office if you would be interested in joining in with your child/children! I’m looking forward to visiting all children in class this week as I have heard they are all becoming masters of Mental Agility! I can’t wait to see these Mathematical skills in
Well, it was good to get back to some sort of normality this week. After school clubs got started at last and it was fantastic to see such an interest in our new Family Learning opportunities. Whether it was FITNESS, KNITTING, WALKING FOOTBALL or DETECTIVE CLUB, the parents and grandparents of the Kirkshaws family were ready to give it a go…with particular respect to those adults who have joined more

Week 3 lunch menus this week. Please remember to talk to your child about what they are most likely to eat. Following the disruption caused by the weather last week, we are hoping to have most clubs up and running this week. The exception is Cross Country. The ground conditions are unsafe after the recent heavy snow falls, so the club has been cancelled this week. Unfortunately, due to
