Eco Committee Update
On Friday the eco committee met with Debbie, one of the representatives of Coatbridge Community Orchard. Debbie told us all about the hard work taking place in the west end park and asked us if we would like to get involved planting trees and other fruits and vegetables.
Thank you very much Debbie for coming to see us. We can’t wait to get started. We are going to decide what we can plant in school and perhaps transfer over to the park. We look forward to developing our relationship with you.

Children’s Wellbeing Survey
All schools in North Lanarkshire have been asked to participate in a Health and Wellbeing survey with P5 to P7 pupils. The survey is called the Children’s Wellbeing Survey. On Friday of this week, every pupil in P5 to P7 will be issued with a letter and information sheet. Parents have 10 days to complete and return the opt out sheet which is contained within the letter, if you do not wish your child to participate in this research.
The survey will begin in school from 30th January.
The survey is anonymous and we are assured that the results of the survey will be used to understand the wellbeing needs of children and help staff to improve services in the area.
Please check your child’s bag on Friday and pass this information on to friends and family.
Paired Reading
Congratulations to our Pr. 7 pupils who are involved in paired reading with our Pr.2 pupils. It is proving to be a highlight of the week for both sets of pupils. Below is a slideshow of our pupils busy at work. Our Pr.6 pupils are also showing their credentials as resinsible citizens as they are involved in paired reading with Pr. 1 pupils every Tuesday afternoon. Great work boys and girls. You are a credit to the school.
Violin Superstars
At our Wednesday assembly we celebrated two of our Pr.7 pupils who achieved outstanding passes at their recent violin gradings. Fabulous work girls!!
