1st Star: This week we have really enjoyed Scottish Numeracy week and have been learning a variety of new skills.

We are building a tool box of strategies to help us fix our Marvelous Mistakes.

2nd Star: We enjoyed the challenge of dictation and are developing our skills of writing and listening at the same time.

Wish: We hope that everyone will hand in their homework and be prepared for PE next week so that we can achieve our marbles.

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.
