Virtual Assembly

Our newly elected House Captains hosted their first Virtual Assembly yesterday where they shared lots of important information and news with the whole school at the same time.  Due to current restrictions we had to be more creative in how we shared all the good things that are happening in our school.

Its safe to say we have complete natural presenters who have a future life on tv! Well done boys and girls you were fantastic!

P7 Leavers Video

Huge thanks to our PTA for organising and preparing a lovely video montage for our Primary 7 pupils.  We are sure you will agree they have turned out to be superb young people who have shown outstanding resilience over the last few months.    We couldn’t be any more proud.

We are sorry the end of their school year didn’t go as planned but know they will go on and continue to be amazing .  Good luck P7 we will miss you!

 

P7 – Young Scot Cards Delay

Due to the Coronavirus crisis the department responsible for preparing Young Scot Cards for P7 pupils were unable to process applications as they normally would.  The normal timescales and processes were completely disrupted as you might imagine.  

The last communication received has indicated they aim to have cards produced for pupils returning to school in August, and the likely scenario will be that they will arrange for cards to be sent to  high schools prior to the start of the new term. This is a change to normal systems where we would issue these to pupils in June.

In the meantime P7 pupils may like to familiarise themselves with  excellent resources at www.young.scot including local pages at https://young.scot/north-lanarkshire.   Young people aged 12+ can sign up for young scot membership and access additional opportunities, rewards and discounts on the web page. Social media pages also contain lots of great information about events, opportunities and youth issues, so please follow @NLCYouthwork and encourage pupils to do the same.

We will update you further should anything change before August.

Thanks for your patience.

P7 Transition Project

We have been asked to share the attached project with our Primary 7 pupils as part of their transition to St Ambrose High School.

A document has been uploaded to the P7 Sharepoint and will be saved under ‘Daily Tasks’ that provides all the information you need to take part in this exciting project.  We are sure you will enjoy this and look forward to seeing how you get on.

 

 

Online Courses P5-7

Please find attached details on online courses available from Keep Scotland Beautiful.

Using the tried and tested e-Sgoil platform, a timetabled set of classes will start 27 April, and gradually increase over the weeks ahead. The lessons will be provided by Keep Scotland Beautiful, SCILT, the National Languages Centre, and e-Sgoil.

There will be live interactive teaching for learners.  All of the lessons have been adapted over the last few weeks for a learning at home basis, some are existing and well known areas of the curriculum, and others are launching for the first time.

If interested please enrol your child following the link on the page.
