Update from NLC on return to full-time school

Good evening

Please see below a statement from North Lanarkshire Council.

Today’s announcement from the Scottish Government outlines the plan to reopen all schools on a full-time basis from August.

We are currently considering the practicalities and implications of this announcement and will await further clarification and guidance from government, particularly in relation to public health and scientific advice.

Our priority is the safety of our pupils and staff across our network of primary, secondary and ASN schools, as well as our early learning and childcare settings.

We understand that you will have questions, and as this news was only announced today, we will make further information available on how this impacts on our schools and facilities in the coming days.

We are preparing for pupils to return full-time to school on 12 August and we will be working closely with our schools and partners, including our early years and childcare provision to establish our plans, which we will communicate as soon as we are in a position to.

School Recovery Plans and FAQ

Good afternoon

Please click on the link below where you will find an updated letter from Derek Brown.

www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk/schoolplans

I have also attached an  FAQ sheet for your reference.

Attached are the draft plans for Mossend Primary School.

I am sure that will appreciate this is a draft recovery plan as many things will change before our return.

We have been extremely thorough in our planning and have tried to take into consideration potential difficulties for parents and families. We appreciate that returning to school may present a challenge for working families but we have ensured that all siblings are together and children have been placed in working groups where possible.

I will endeavour to provide you with information as soon as I receive it during the school holidays.

Did you enjoy your holiday?

Hello boys and girls,

We hope you had a lovely May weekend holiday, the sun had gone away for a couple of days, but fingers crossed it is back to stay!  It’s always so much better when it is sunny outside – especially for a scavenger hunt! .

Have a look around this week, we have added new content for you:

  • Mrs Blevins is reading a new story to you called “Owl Babies“ it is all about 3 little baby owls who are looking for their mummy.  We hope you enjoy.
  • On Friday at 7pm Mrs Brown is reading you a bedtime story! We are very excited to have two stories this week and what a lovely way to end another busy week. So, get your pyjamas on, settle down in bed and let Mrs Brown drift you off to sleep.
  • This week, Mrs Johnston has challenged you to a scavenger hunt. Can you find all the items? Remember to share your findings with us and have lots of fun.
  •  Finally, on Sunday it is the Christian holiday of Pentecost and our local community Church, Bellshill Central Church, have asked if the boys and girls could make some crafts for them to share at their service on Sunday.We hope you will get involved with this,  just tweet us a picture or video with your creations on Twitter or upload by pressing the Share button on the top menu bar within the Nursery Zone by Friday. We will then get them sent over to the Church.

    You can find ideas on the Church website: https://bellshillcentral.church/2020/05/25/pentecost-craft-activities/

    And we added some more here:

    Tongues of Fire Role Play
