Due to technical problems with our website, Mrs N\u2019s Notes could not be posted before Easter Weekend – therefore the blog today will\u00a0 cover the past TWO weeks!<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start with our Easter Parade winners from last week.\u00a0 Can I give a HUGE thank you to every family who got involved designing and creating Easter Bonnets or Eggs.\u00a0 As you can see from the photographs above, the standard in each class was very high.\u00a0 We trust that you enjoyed working together as a family during this activity.\u00a0 We loved sharing and celebrating each achievement!<\/p>\n
One of our main focus points over recent weeks has been a big push on healthy journeys to school.\u00a0 I know that many of you share our concerns over the amount of traffic around the school as our children arrive and leave at the end of the day.\u00a0 Our Parent Council have been in consultation with Sustainable Travel Officers, Crossing Patrol Officers and Health & Safety personnel to discuss this issue.\u00a0 The only way we can tackle this is to reduce the number of vehicles in the immediate vicinity at 9am and 3pm.\u00a0 With the recent good weather we think this is the perfect opportunity to relaunch a Walk to School plea.\u00a0 All classes are using an on-line Travel Tracker tool which encourages pupils to make a healthy journey to school and collect rewards as a result.\u00a0 Please help us promote this, improve the air quality around the school and reduce the risk of accidents as we travel.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n
Many thanks to our Newspaper Team for their latest production.\u00a0 A full report on life at Kirkshaws (written by our learners) over the past term is now available.\u00a0 A brilliant read!<\/p>\n
Transition Events are well underway.\u00a0 Visits to and from partner nurseries and high schools have begun and will continue over the coming months.\u00a0 Last week saw some P.6 pupils taking part in a K’Nex Challenge at Coatbridge High School.\u00a0 We were delighted to come in third place…we were more thrilled that our pupils spoke of making new friends during the event!\u00a0 That’s what it is all about; building confidence and creating a climate of trust.\u00a0 Look out for many more events taking place very soon.<\/p>\n
We have a full 5-day week coming up, but remember school and nursery will close on Friday 3rd May and reopen on Wednesday 8th May.\u00a0 This is due to the May Day holiday and an in-service training day for staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
