We have reached the October break which marks mid-term for everyone at the school. I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone an enjoyable week off. School re-opens on Monday 22nd October at 9am.
Credit Union
This week I observed the Primary 6 and 7 pupils leading the credit union. I was delighted to see our Primary 7 pupils coaching the new credit union team and I am sure they are leaving it in safe hands. This is a fantastic opportunity for pupils to develop skills for learning, life and work. The team showed professionalism and respect towards all our young savers, demonstrated confidence in numeracy and co-operation. If anyone would like to join the credit union then a form can be requested from the office. The credit union is open every Wednesday morning.
Twitter Update
We are continuing to use Twitter in place of Class Dojo to share information, news and learning updates. Some teachers have chosen to start their own class twitter feed and others are posting their class updates from the school account.

Teamwork and Friendship
Mrs Robertson is working hard with the senior football league to emphasise our values and promote teamwork and friendship. The pupils are designing logos and slogans to promote kindness and respect. This is an opportunity to work with our pupils to promote positive relationships and behaviour.
Harvest
Thank you to all pupils who donated items for our harvest table. The items will be delivered to the East Kilbride foodbank.
Nurture
Our nurture room is now set up and we look forward to welcoming children in to use it after the October break. Our photographs are on twitter. We are still looking for donations of fabric, toys and games to add to the resources in the room.
What’s on week beginning 22nd October?
- Teachers are participating in our Teacher Learning Communities to promote teaching and learning
- Our Validated Self Evaluation takes place on the 24th and 25th October. We look forward to welcoming the VSE team to Heathery Knowe PS.
Have a lovely holiday. Thank you for your continued support.
Kind regards
Kirsty Duff
