The Week Ahead

images-3

Our week ahead is as busy as ever with children enjoying the challenge of new Interdisciplinary Projects.  Children have reviewed what they already know, what they would like to find out and how they intend to do this and share their learning.  Please look for the ‘What’s Happening in my Child’s Class?’  information sheet which will be issued this week.

Mrs.Docherty has quite a few important visitors to the school this week who will be reviewing the school budget, reviewing current attainment data and reviewing the schools progress to date.  These visitors will provide some assistance in regard of the schools ongoing improvement agenda.

This week we continue with our review of teaching and learning with Mrs.Docherty and Mrs.Elliott visiting classes and also reviewing pupil work.  We aim to discuss with children their learning and what they regard as their next steps in order to maintain progress and achievement.

Sportshall Athletics

Our athletes left the school today to take part in the finals at Ravenscraig.  The competition involved all the finalists from across the authority.  We are delighted that they put on a great display and represented the school so well in such a highly competitive event.  We will be in a position to post some photographs of the event next week.  Well done boys and girls you were wonderful and a real credit to the school!!

Medal Winning Gymnasts

The school is absolutely delighted that our first attendance at the NL Championship resulted in a medal haul!!! One of our teams won gold and we also have several gold, silver and bronze individual medal winners.  Impressive stuff!! They won’t be going to Rio for the Olympics but give it a few more years and we could be looking at a future Commonwealth or Olympic Champion.

Pupil of the Week Awards

Congratulations to our Pupil of the Week Award winners, to our Marvellous Manners and also our Good Citizen Award winners. They are really presenting themselves as excellent ambassadors of the school.  This week our assembly featured a talk about how we can put our faith into action.  Our Good Citizen Award winners demonstrate that in how they think of others everyday. Well done boys and girls!

 

Good Luck

The school has quite a few children setting off tomorrow to represent the school at two sporting events.  We have a large group of Pr.6 and 7 pupils attending the Sportshall Athletics at Ravenscraig and a large group of talented gymnasts heading off to Airdrie Academy to compete at the NL Championships.  It is all very exciting.  We wish all our athletes and gymnasts every success tomorrow. They are already winners in our eyes!!

Football Superstars

Our talented football team attended their latest fixture as part of the Coatbridge Friendship League on Wednesday.  They were a real credit to the school on a cold and windswept park at St.Ambrose High School.  At half time the score was 4 – 1 to Kirkshaws but the team dug deep and produced a marvellous performance to bring the final score to 4-3.  It was a very narrow defeat that left the boys annoyed that they missed out on a draw that would have been more reflective of the game.  Great work boys!!! You really did the school proud and showed once again your excellent skills and sportsmanship!  Roll on the next fixture!

The Week Ahead

Our assembly on Friday highlighted an action packed week for the school.  This week Mrs.Docherty and Mrs.Elliott will begin class visits to speak to children and observe pupil progress in Maths.  They will also be looking at jotters and will review how well children are transferring their skills in literacy to their independent writing.  Pupil jotters will be going home soon along with an interim reports to inform you of your child’s progress to date.

Friday Assembly

On Friday our House Captains and Vice Captains did a wonderful job presenting their last assembly as Captains. They have been tremendous ambassadors of the school and have inspired many of our Pr. 7 pupils to put themselves forward as House Captains for this term.  Friday’s assembly was action packed with lots of school news shared and pupil achievements and school ambassadors being celebrated. This week we have a lot of children attending sporting events across the authority and we wished them all good luck! At our assembly children also learned some interesting facts about Rabbie Burns and tested their knowledge with a quiz at the end.
