Don’t forget to pop along to our Christmas Fayre this afternoon at 1.30pm.
We have lots of fun games, tombolas and activities with loads of prizes to be won. We also have our hand-crafted ornaments from each child in the school as well as tea, coffee, home-baking and hot dogs for sale.
We’ll end the day as always with our grand raffle – there is still plenty of time to buy a few more lucky tickets.
On Thursday 29th November, we will be hosting the second Sharing the Learning Day this session.
This time we are working with our partners in Adult Learning to share more about Family Learning and why this is so central to our school approach.
On the day you can expect familiar faces from school and the Pizza Club as well as lots of fun activities to get involved in. The event starts at 2pm until 5pm – you can drop in at any point and stay for as long as you like.
If you can make it along at 2pm, you can head along to collect your child from their classroom and go with them to the hall where the event is being hosted. If you can’t make it until after 3pm, don’t worry as there will be plenty of Scottish themed activities going on in the classes.

We are looking forward to seeing you there – please feel free to add to the Scottish theme by wearing tartan on the day.

We are currently reviewing the way in which we deal with any incidents of bullying in our campus. We are going to be supported in this process by Brian Donnelly, who is a specialist in this area. He is not working for the school, council or government but is simply here to make sure we gather views from all our families, parents, pupils and staff in order to ensure that our Anti Bullying Policy is the perfect fit for West Johnstone Shared Campus.
A huge thanks go to those of you who attended the open parent/carer session with Brian today at the Lynnhurst Hotel. However, if you didn’t make it, we would still like to hear your views though our online survey. Please ensure you take a few minutes to share your opinions and ensure your voice is heard.
The survey can be accessed here: https://bit.ly/2QAs77v
Yesterday we held our annual Hallowe’ en Parade, alongside our friends from Cochrane Castle. We saw everything from witches and skeletons, to dinosaurs and robots! 🧙🏻♀️💀🦖🤖
We then had lots of fun and games at our party, and there were some very impressive dance moves on show! 💃🏼🕺🏻
Here are a few photos of the fun!
Just a reminder of last week’s invite to all our families, parents and carers to join one of our Family Learning Sessions happening in Dream Island.
The sessions will be lead by Emma and are a great opportunity to join your child in the library setting. No need to sign up to the full block, just attend when you can. See the timetable below:
We are really looking forward to seeing you.
Just a reminder to return your October Home Shared Learning Grid to school tomorrow and also take a few minutes to complete the back page as well.
We have loved seeing some of your creations on our Facebook page – well done to everyone who has joined in! Please keep sharing.
November Grids will be distributed on Thursday to all classes.
Next Monday 29th October will be our special, spooky Halloween lunch menu!
The children will be asked to make their choice tomorrow (Wednesday 24th) to allow Karen to place her orders in time for next week, so please go over the menu with your children in preparation for tomorrow!
