The first two days of the 2017/18 school year have been wonderful. The children have been working hard and have all come back to school with an ‘attitude to learn’. Mr. Clark has been most impressed with the attitude of each pupil.
We had our first assembly on Friday morning and sung lots of songs together – P1 pupils at beautifully and were all joining in with the words and actions.
We have a three week rotation on our dinner menu and we will be on Week 2 of the Spring/Summer menu this week. Please talk over the options with your child and help them decide what they will order:
This week’s school and nursery diary:
Monday 21st August 2017
- Starting today, two S5 pupils from Calderhead High School will visit our school throughout the year for regular work experience. They will work in the open area classes and the nursery.
Tuesday 22nd August 2017
- 5pm-6pm: An information session for P7 parents and pupils about Kilbowie will take place in the hall. Please contact Mr. Clark to make an alternate arrangement if you can’t make it.
Wednesday 23rd August 2017
- 9.30am-10.15am: Our weekly ‘Celebrating Success Assembly’ takes place on a Wednesday morning. We will share our achievements and hard work from the week. If your child has a special achievement from home to share, they can let their teacher know. This may be an award or certificate from a club, a ‘first’ such as riding their bike or swimming a distance, or a special news such as a new family member etc.
Thursday 24th August 2017
- Staff will be meeting after school today to plan the next steps in our ‘Trauma-informed’ approach. Keep your eyes peeled for information about this soon.
Friday 25th August 2017
- Non-Uniform Day: The last Friday of every month, all pupils may wear appropriate casual clothes to school. If you are able to donate £1 per pupil for this, it will go towards school funds which are used to subsidise the cost of outings, buy resources and materials etc. We appreciate your support with this!
- 10.45am-11.30am: Singing Assembly. We come together at this time every week to just have fun together – singing together makes everyone feel good!
- 2pm-2.15pm: Gold & Silver Playtime. Children who have made their way to Gold or Silver throughout the week have an additional playtime on a Friday afternoon.
- 2.15pm-2.45pm: Golden Time – as a treat for hard work and positive attitude to learning, all pupils can enjoy a fun afternoon of activities each week.
