Old Monkland Primary School & Nursery Class

The boys and girls had a fantastic halloween at Old Monkland Primary School. They came to school dressed up and had a spooky Halloween party in the hall. They completed Halloween themed activities in class and even ‘Dooked’ for apples.

Our new Snapshot Jotter initiative will begin next week. This will be an opportunity for parents to have a look at some of the work which the children have been completing in class. Parents should complete the Pupil and Parent evaluations at the back of the jotters before returning them to school. Jotters will be in school bags on Monday 5th November and must be returned to school by Friday 9th November.

The school hosted a Community Open night for our parents and families in the local community. At the event, there were various stalls from local partners including Police Scotland and the Fire Service. The event was very informative for our parents to learn about services available in the local area.

A reminder for parents that our Parent Appointments are on Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th of November. The online portal for booking appointments closes at 7am on Monday 5th of November. Reminder slips and appointments for Parents who have been unable to book their appointment online will be issued on Monday 5th November.

We look forward to seeing all of our parents next week.

Primary 6/7 have been getting back into their Active Literacy routines. They work in pairs to read, find and discuss different parts of the text which they can use in their written work.

The boys and girls had lots of fun celebrating their success throughout the year at our Target 21 Reward Day. The Gold, Silver and Bronze reward pupils took part in lots of different activities throughout the school day and each class had a visit from ‘Zoolab’ who brought lots of different creatures and animals for the children to hold and learn about.
