Kildrum FC
<a
P2 and P3 learners have really enjoyed the Kildrum Football Club after school club. Now the club would like to invite players of all ages to join their squad. Have a look at the details below if you are interested.
Reading Buddies
On Friday 17th November, Mrs. Hawthorn was joined by many P5-P7 pupils at the Reading Buddy Workshop. She was delighted to welcome all of the enthusiastic volunteers who were keen to learn more about how they can help other children in our school to develop their Literacy skills. Reading buddies is a fantastic opportunity for everyone involved and has been successful in Ravenswood Primary for a number of years.
Keep an eye on Twitter (@RavenswoodPS) to see how our children help each other to become Successful Learners, Confident Individuals, Effective Contributors and Responsible Citizens.
Team work really does make the dream work!
Outdoor Learning
Miss Purdon has been working with other practitioners across North Lanarkshire Council developing outdoor learning. As part of our Learning and Teaching policy here in Ravenswood, outdoor learning is fundamental for all children and experienced regularly every week.
Have a look at the Working Party latest newsletter, you may even see some familiar faces!
Dream Playground
Our Pupil Council are working hard to assist the development of our playground. We have many great play spaces and equipment but know we can improve this further. We are arranging a meeting with HAGS, a development team who design dream playgrounds all day, every day! We will keep you posted, fingers crossed for a successful meeting!
For now you can look at the company website if you would like.
Transport Consultation
The consultation to change school transport arrangements in North Lanarkshire is now open and will run until Tuesday 9 January 2018.

for primary school pupils from more than 1 mile from their home to their catchment school to more than 2 miles.
for secondary school pupils from more than 2 miles from their home to their catchment school to more than 3 miles.
You can take part in the consultation by:

WINTER WEATHER
