Week 2 Menu for the week ahead in both nursery and school.<\/p>\n

ROAD SAFETY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Please remember that we no longer have a Crossing Patrol Officer (Lollipop Lady) at lunchtime.\u00a0 This has been the case for a few years now.\u00a0 As a result, we ask that any child going home for lunch is collected from the school office.\u00a0 As you know, the traffic on Old Monkland Road can be very heavy throughout the day, with large vehicles, such as buses and lorries, also regularly passing the front gates.\u00a0 We want to make sure all our pupils are safe during the school day and we value your help in this way.<\/p>\n

We have also had 2 incidents this week where local residents could not access their driveway\/private parking spot due to parents and carers blocking their right of way.\u00a0 Please continue to park legally and safely to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone involved.\u00a0 We value the good will of our neighbours and aim to keep everyone happy.<\/p>\n

SPECIAL FOCUS WEEKS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This week we have been celebrating Maths Week Scotland<\/strong> in all classes.\u00a0 Our youngest learners in the nursery welcomed family members to stay and play with a Maths theme.\u00a0 We were delighted to welcome so many adults to join in the fun each morning.\u00a0 Thank you all for your input.<\/p>\n

Each class in the school had a particular focus and 6 brave pupils from the senior classes volunteered to take part in a head-to-head tables challenge during Assembly on Thursday.\u00a0 We were all very impressed by your confidence and skill!<\/p>\n

Next week is Digital Literacy Week<\/strong>.\u00a0 I can’t wait to see what new skills I’m going to see on display.\u00a0 Only yesterday Mrs McGarry and I had a tutorial in trouble shooting PC problems from a P.4 whizz kid! (Thank you, Isla H! Now we both know what to do when that error message pops up!).\u00a0 In addition, we have a new Tech Team being created by Mr Haggarty and I now have technical support to lead us all in Assembly.\u00a0 \u00a0I’m glad to say, Pupil Leadership is back in full-swing this year!\u00a0 Where would we be without them?<\/p>\n

HARVEST<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This week you should have received an email with our plans for a Harvest Celebration to be held on Thursday 13th October.\u00a0 We are all too aware that not all families will be in a position to make a donation this year and we do not want you to feel any obligation to take part<\/strong>.\u00a0 However, we are giving those families who want to contribute the option of donating dried or tinned food that we will pass on to St James Way and the Coatbridge Foodbank.\u00a0 We’ll be accepting any donations from Monday 10th October, with delivery being made on 14th October, before our holiday week.<\/p>\n

PARENT COUNCIL<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our Parent Council will meet online on Monday 3rd October at 7pm.\u00a0 If you wish to join the WebEx Meeting, please contact me via the school office and I will share the details with you.\u00a0 Alternatively you can contact any member of the Parent Council, who will all be glad to help.<\/p>\n

HOUSE CAPTAINS\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It was an absolute pleasure at Assembly this week to announce the results of the recent pupil ballot to elect our House Captains and Vice Captains for the year ahead.\u00a0 Many P.7 pupils had written and recorded speeches that every class was able to listen to and then each child could make an individual vote.\u00a0 The results are as follows:<\/p>\n

Dundyvan Captain – Kayla<\/p>\n

Vice Captains – Scott & Kayden<\/p>\n

Rosehall Captain – Annabelle<\/p>\n

Vice Captain – Mason<\/p>\n

Summerlee Captain – Lucas M<\/p>\n

Vice Captain – Summer<\/p>\n

Waverley Captain – Toby<\/p>\n

Vice Captain – Katie P<\/p>\n

Well done and thank you to everyone who took part.<\/p>\n

HOLIDAY REMINDER!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
