Hi Everyone ,

It was really nice to get to speak to some families at the end of last week again. Its actually really lovely to hear your voices and be able to tell your teachers and all the staff who ask about you , how you are getting on. Thank you too , for all the kind words and enquiries if staff and their families are well . We are all doing fine just missing being at school and seeing you all.

I’ve now managed to phone or email every family individually and if you haven’t received at least a voicemail , I have called you ( to main contact only) and phone has rang out or had no facility to leave a message , but I want you to know I’m thinking of you all .

This week, staff at some of the schools on Coatbridge, including Old Monkland, are the volunteer staff at St Ambrose Hub. The children there will be learning about Under The Sea (Mon-Thurs) and the 75th Anniversary of VE day which is on Friday.

On Friday , I believe there is to be a nationwide two minute silence at 11am and a Sing Along to “We ll Meet Again ” at 9pm . I wonder of any of you will be joining in ?

Due to this I’ll not be able to make as many calls as I usually do this week but I will be back in touch when I can or at the start of next week. If you need anything or just want to write me a message to share with any of the staff , please just email me and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
