The Flower Pot Garden area will be used as an Early Level outdoor classroom for Nursery &#8211; Primary 1. This will allow us to fully develop the space and provide our youngest learners with opportunities\u00a0 for exploration and enquiry based learning.<\/p>\n<p>We are looking for resources for our farm topic and we would appreciate donations of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>crates for milk \/ juice bottles<\/li>\n<li>large cardboard boxes<\/li>\n<li>lollipop sticks<\/li>\n<li>small world play resources (small cars \/ farm animals etc)<\/li>\n<li>Milk \/ 2l Juice Bottles<\/li>\n<li>Outdoor Sand Pit<\/li>\n<li>Outdoor Toys (small bikes \/ trikes \/ balance bikes)<\/li>\n<li>Straw and old adult size clothes (for making scarecrows!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are able to help us resource this area in any way, it would be appreciated.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The Opera Factory<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Primary 3 have a fantastic opportunity to participate in &#8216;The Opera Factory&#8217; project run by Scottish Opera. We are very lucky to have been allocated enough spaces at Theatre Royal to take along all Primary 3 pupils. Children will learn about opera beforehand and learn a song so that they can join in whilst watching the performance.\u00a0This is a free performance for pupils with only the cost of the bus being required.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Uniform Donations<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In preparation for the new session, we will have have uniform rails available throughout the month of June. If you have any uniform that your child has outgrown and you would be happy to donate to the school, please hand it in throughout the month of May.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs French along with pupil leaders will ensure that the clothes are organised and available each day. Parents are welcome to peruse the rails and take any items that they can use.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Primary 1 Induction<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Miss Amy Harris and Miss Nicola Houldsworth will start to visit Heathery Knowe PS Nursery Class and Partnership Nurseries over the next few weeks as we prepare to welcome our new Primary 1 children to school. Placing request outcomes have been issued with a guide for what to do next if the request was unsuccessful. Once we have a finalised Primary 1 pupil list, parents will be invited to attend\u00a0 &#8216;preparation for school&#8217; meetings.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Annual Parent Calendar\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The staff met last week to agree dates for the annual calendar. The Parent Council will be consulted on these dates at the meeting on 30th April and this will then be issued to all parents before summer break. This will include dates for Parent Consultation meetings, open afternoons, report cards etc.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">What&#8217;s on next week?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Mon- Wed &#8211; Primary 7 pupils attending Robinwood<br \/>\nTues &#8211; Big Blether 9.15am \/ 5 pm (previously Parent Engagement Group)<br \/>\nTues &#8211; PTC &#8211; 6pm<br \/>\nThurs &#8211; Lockerbie Manor information session for current P4 and 5 pupils 6pm<br \/>\nFri &#8211; P7 French Cafe at Calderglen High<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your continued support<\/p>\n<p>Kind regards<\/p>\n<p>Kirsty Duff<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are continuing to plan for a busy summer term and I would like to take this opportunity to update you with some additional dates in the calendar.
