I had a very interesting morning today. Along with a number of Head Teachers from across North Lanarkshire, I attended an information session at HMP Shotts. The aim of this session was to raise school’s awareness of the impact that parents being in prison can have on children. It was a fascinating morning and I enjoyed hearing from the different speakers and community groups who work in HMP Shotts supporting the families and their children.
I missed lots of the fun activities for Health Week today as I was out at this session, but there was lots of things happening across the school: Miss Tiffney continued her Heart Start session with P3/4 and P4/5 learning all about how to help a conscious and unconscious casualty. P1/2 were making healthy bread (and enjoyed eating it) and Fiona from Childsmile came to talk to all of the boys and girls about good dental health – including hidden sugars in lots of their favourite drinks. Have a look at our Twitter feed to see all of the photographs.
If you read the Wishaw Press, you will have seen the articles about our Art Focus fortnight and exhibition – we are very pleased that the Wishaw Press are featuring our school so regularly.
The photographer very kindly came today to take pictures of our Health Week – check our next week’s edition for the feature.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is for sleet and snow as Storm ‘Doris’ arrives. Please take extra care when travelling to school and come wrapped up! Check Twitter for any updates in the morning – both our account and the NLC Winter Account too. At the moment, school and nursery are planned to be open as normal.
