Parent Helpers

We are always looking for parents out there who would like to come in and help!

For those of you who have not volunteered before but would be interested in doing so, here is a brief summary of the type of jobs you could be asked to do:

  • Work with small groups of children on a variety of tasks e.g. art, library, games, phonics, maths, word walls
  • Sharpen pencils, clean paint trays
  • Supervise children working in open areas
  • Mount work for display purposes
  • Take display work down from walls
  • Filing
  • Make costumes for school productions
  • Gardening
  • Admin tasks

There is also a separate list of parents who are happy to help with school outings or events and can be contacted on a ‘one-off’ basis.

If you think you could offer any time to help in school, please contact the school office for a form.

Please note: it is essential that you are disclosed if you wish to be a parent helper. Please call into school and fill in one of the new Disclosure Scotland PVG forms if you do not have a current disclosure. These are available from Mrs Roy in the office.

Parent helpers are an enormous help in the school and your talents and time are much appreciated.

P6 2 stars and a wish

1st Star: We really enjoyed doing Number Talks again this week. We liked the extra hot questions adding in 10,000s.

2nd Star: We also really liked learning more about our restaurant theme. We had to think of a logo and design a logo using an online app.

Wish: To have a game of rounders if the weather stays nice

P6 and P7 Time Capsule Trip

P6 and P7 had an AMAZING time celebrating the end of the year at the Time Capsule in Coatbridge. 70 of us went ice skating and swimming and it was so much fun …even for the teachers!! 😀 We then walked to Summerlee museum for lunch and a play at the park. We used the profits from our Business Enterprise earlier this year and it was definitely all worth it!
