Dear Parent,

We are excited to invite you to attend an evening of fun and learning to celebrate numeracy and maths. The event will be run by our Cluster Numeracy Co-ordinator, Mrs Kyle Smith. Please join us for a Family Maths Games Night on Tuesday, 19^th February from 6.30 – 7.30pm.

You will have the opportunity to participate in some maths activities with your child/children that will demonstrate ways to further encourage and support their learning at home. This will be an informal event where you can drop in and choose the activities you want to play. As this event is open to all stages, please consider walking to the school. If travelling by car, please be considerate of the neighbouring residents.

Your oldest child has been given a  return slip today. To help us organise the event, I would appreciate if you could complete and return the slip in your oldest child’s bagbelow by Tuesday 22^nd January.

Kind regards,

Karen McDowall, Principal Teacher

For Children & Families living in Renfrewshire

The Drop-in Clinic is a session for parents/carers who want advice about their child’s speech and/or language development. You will have the opportunity to discuss your child’s development with a Speech and Language Therapist. We can give you advice and ideas on how to help your child’s speech and language development.
Your health visitor, GP or your child’s nursery/school may recommend that you visit a drop in clinic.

No appointment or referral is required for the morning session. It is a ‘first come….first served’ system, and you may have to wait to be seen.

If the Drop-in Clinic is very busy, you may prefer to come back to the next scheduled session or contact the department to book an afternoon time slot.

The morning session runs between 10.00am-12noon in each clinic. No booked time slot is required for this session.
The afternoon session runs between 1.30pm-2.30pm in each clinic. A bookable time slot is required for this session. You can book these by contacting us on the number below.

Elf Post today suffered a delay in delivery. We apologise for any inconvenience to your festivities. Santa’s Elves were sad that not all the cards had the correct address details making today’s delivery challenging. Could all parents ensure that both name and address are on Christmas cards so that all cards can be delivered promptly. Please see the example below.
