Langloan Primary School

We know that this period of lock down is both challenging and difficult for us all. We are also aware that some of our families may be finding it difficult to get out to the shops for essential food provision due to shielding measures that have been put in place or due to lack of childcare etc.

We have access to local volunteers who are happy to provide food parcels during this difficult time.  If you feel that this is something that would benefit you and your family then please contact me directly at: elainepaterson@langloan.n-lanark.sch.uk

Thanks

Mrs Devoti, who runs our Scripture Union club along side Mrs Fallon has sent me a link to some Scripture Union resources that can be found online.

Message from Mrs Devoti

Scripture union have put together little bitsize SU lessons for all the kids who would normally go along to the school groups (but of course everyone is welcome). It is the same material from “One big story” we would normally use and every Monday it will be updated with new stories and activities

It was great to see so many of you working on Sumdog this week. Half our class took part in the Maths challenge so well done to 1st place McKenzy 2nd place Maisie and 3rd place Isla. Isla was also the winner of the literacy challenge with 2nd place Josh and 3rd place McKenzy. Remember to download the Microsoft teams app on your phone or tablet and sign in with your Glow details to have a chat and see the work set for our class this week. I miss you all, pop over to teams and say hello.

Good morning,

I have added two links that provide information and updates from North Lanarkshire Council.  The first link is to NLC Learning Together Newsletters which are aimed at providing additional suggested Health and Wellbeing activities (Early/First and Second) that parents/carers can do with their child(ren).

The second link is related to general information and advice on interactive learning.
