Open Day – Stane Primary School and Nursery Class

Family Learning Open Morning

Thank you to the 80 parents, grandparents and friends of Stane Primary who attended our Family Learning Open Morning today. It was wonderful to have some much purposeful learning taking place.

The morning began with Mr. Clark outlining some of the work that the school has been taking part in around attachment and connectedness. The importance of understanding trauma and ‘Adverse Childhood Experiences’ was explored and the idea of internal ‘Sabre-tooth Tigers and Teddy Bears‘ was introduced from the work of Dr. Suzanne Zeedyk

Mr. Clark outlined how the school is aiming to be attachment friendly and trauma informed by sharing the updated Vision, Values and Aims statements of Stane Primary School and Nursery Class.

Later on, everyone had a chance to visit their child’s classroom and engage in a family learning activity to explore further our values of ‘Kindness, Compassion, Courage and Community’.

Thank you to everyone who participated to help shape our school’s shared vision and values.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Numeracy Open Morning today. It was lovely to see so many parents, grandparents and friends of the school come along to support our event.

In the morning, classes were working on Numeracy using a range of practical resources, including Numicon. After interval, Primary 1 parents took part in an Active Literacy workshop.

Don’t worry if you couldn’t come. You can view the Numeracy presentation shared by Mr. Clark below:

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 20^th 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
