Online Booking for Parent’s Evening October 2018
We have organised a new online booking system for our parents’ evenings. This will allow parents to log on and book their own appointment. Parents Evening will take place on Thursday 11th March 2018.
Go to http://www.parents-booking.co.uk/sttimothysps
PLEASE NOTE: You need to type this address into your website browser’s ‘address bar’ or copy and paste the above address into your browser. Do not try to ‘Google’ this website address or click on the link above. This is a common mistake on phones and tablets especially.
Login to see which appointments are available and select one that is convenient for you. If you have more than one child in the school we cannot stress enough that you go on swiftly to assure you get appointment slots together. Office staff can no longer make appointments. There will only be one appointment per child available.
You will need:
- Your title and surname (these must match those we have on record for you)
- Your child’s first name, surname and date of birth
The system will be available to take bookings from 1st October at 8pm and will be open to take your bookings until 9th October at 8pm.
Once you have logged in, we suggest you use the ‘Automated Booking Wizard’ to make your appointments. You will be shown your child/children and their teachers, and asked to enter your availability. Our wizard will use this information to calculate the best order for your appointments, allowing you to navigate the teachers in the quickest and most efficient manner.
Troubleshooting Tips – please read before booking!
- To login you need to enter the details we have on record for you and your child. If you have recently changed your title or surname, for example, and not informed us, we will be expecting you to login with the details we have on record
- The email address you enter is only used to receive a confirmation of your appointment. If the system gives you an error when you login, it will not be the email address that is the problem
- If you have several children to make bookings for, and decide not to use the Booking Wizard, but instead make appointments individually, use the ‘Change Child’ button on the blue bar (above the school’s name) in the very top left corner of the Parent’s Booking Page to swap between your children

P1 Trip – Kelvingrove Park – Rescheduled
On Tuesday 20th November 2018 the Primary 1 classes will visit Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum to take part in an Explore and Create Outdoors workshop in Kelvingrove Park. Using natural materials, and working in teams, the Primary 1 children will be constructing and creating whilst learning more about the wildlife in the park. There will also be time to visit the Museum.
The bus will leave school at 9:15am and return to school for 2:45pm.
A Snack to Go lunch will be provided for all pupils. If you prefer children can bring their own packed lunch. The children should bring their snack/packed lunch in a plastic bag, with their name written on the bag. They will not need to bring their school bag on this day.
As the workshop is an outdoor activity, children must be dressed for the weather – waterproof jacket, waterproof trousers (if you have them), welly boots and perhaps a hat and gloves depending on the temperature. School uniform should be worn under outdoor clothing.
The school will cover the cost of the bus and we are asking for £2 per child, to cover the cost of the workshop. Please send this in before the trip.

Learning to Play : Playing to Learn
The ‘Learning to Play : Playing to Learn’ programme is our own play-based learning programme, developed within St. Timothy’s. It is based on the growing research around play and child development. It offers the children regular opportunities to engage in a whole week of active play and learning. This will occur every 3/4 weeks, during revision weeks and the Primary 1 classrooms will be transformed into play zones to encourage creativity, imagination and exploration. Many of the resources for the programme have been provided by St. Timothy’s PTA.
The Play zones:
Room 1 – free flow play
Room 2 – numeracy and maths play
Room 3 – literacy play
Each day the children will visit all 3 playrooms with their class teacher and experience play activities to consolidate and develop their own learning.
This is an exciting new development so watch this space and look out for photos on Twitter.

Languageland in Primary 1
Languageland is a class based training package for Primary Schools to improve speech and language skills through through communication and games. There is evidence that when this approach is adopted Languageland improves children’s speech and language skills.
Normally these inputs are limited to a very small number of children but we have committed to delivering the full 6 week programme to all Primary 1 pupils. This will be delivered by Mr. Fawcett and will run alongside the Active Literacy Programme.
