Numeracy Open Morning – Tuesday 20th September
Dear Parent/Carer,
Stane Primary School Nursery Open Day September 2016
On behalf of the teachers and management team, I am delighted to invite you to attend our Primary 1 to 7 Open Morning on Tuesday 20th September 2016.
The morning will begin at 9am in the Main Hall, where I will highlight our key improvement priorities for the school session and share some updates about the year ahead.
At approx. 9.30am, you will have a chance to visit your child’s classroom to see them working on Numeracy and Maths. At 10am, all parents can either visit their second child’s classroom, remain in the first class or join me in the hall for refreshments. Parents of pupils in P2-7 will depart at 10.30am
Parents of Primary 1 pupils are invited to remain to see an Active Literacy lesson with their child from 10.45am- approx. 11.30am (This replaces the Active Literacy session postponed from the information session last term).
As we have limited space, a maximum of two adults per family may attend, and these must be parent/carers or grandparents. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate children under school age for this event and ask you to make alternate arrangements.
Class Teachers will not be able to discuss individual children during this time, however, Mrs. Scott and I will be available throughout the session to answer any questions.
I look forward to seeing you at this event.
Yours sincerely
Mr. Scott Clark
Head Teacher
Nursery Sports Day!
The nursery children had a great sports day on Friday 17th June. The children participated in a egg & spoon race, running race, space hopper race, beanbag race and an obstacle race. Even some of the adults who attended took part and raced! I think I speak for everyone when I say we had a great time! Well done to all the children and adults involved.
Parent/Carer Questionnaire Results 2016
Thank you to everyone who attended the recent Parent/Teacher Consultations. At the meetings on 19th May 2016, parents/carers were invited to complete the annual Parent Questionnaire which helps us determine priorities for development.
A copy of the results can be downloaded here.
We are delighted to receive such positive feedback and constructive comments for improvement.
As a result of this information, we aim to:
- Continue to ensure Parents/Carers are kept fully informed of school news and events.
- Review our Homework policy to ensure this meets the needs of the children.
- Revisit our Anti-Bullying policy and establish a pupil-led ‘Anti-bullying’ Committee.
Nursery Burns Supper
The hall at Stane Primary was filled with Scottish music, food, singing and dancing this morning as our nursery children entertained their parents/carers and grandparents at our Burns Supper!
The children sang some of their favourite Scottish songs and performed a dance they had created to the song ‘Donald Where’s Yur Troosers!’ while our audience enjoyed a taster plate of Haggis, Neeps and Tatties.
We were very lucky to be joined by a pupil from Calderhead High School, who played the bagpipes for us along with his Music Teacher who played the fiddle. They helped us to create a fantastic atmosphere during the event.
Two of our P7 pupils led the event, confidently sharing the ‘Selkirk Grace’ and an ‘Address to the Haggis.’ Some of our amazing P6/7 pupils were also on hand to help serve the food and it was lovely to hear feedback from our guests about how well mannered they all were.
The children performed with such confidence, and had so much fun! We are very proud of them all!
