Following the very popular and successful Cooking Club, Clare has offered to run a Maths course. The Mums who joined the previous sessions enjoyed getting together and chatting while learning new skills.

Why not come along to our new sessions and gain confidence in helping your child with their Maths homework – or even earn a qualification yourself.

The course runs from 1:30 – 3pm on Wednesday afternoons in the DEN.

If you would like to come along, please ring the office to confirm your space. Places are limited.

We are pleased to announce that following a successful visit to P4, Gerry Cav will be returning to our school on Thursday 6th March! He will be visiting P1 – 4 and also working with a group of P7 readers.

He has written a number of books – and will have a selection of these available to buy (and sign!) on Thursday. These will be on special offer at £6 per book, or 2 for £10. If you would like your child to get a book, payment will be available on IPay.

Thanks,

Literacy SIG

The cooking group made lovely stuffed peppers today – they smelt so good! It was a great chance for the Mums to get a good chat in the group too. I hope everyone enjoyed eating them this evening. Next week it’s banana muffins, yum!

The nursery are holding their first ‘Nursery Natter’ session on Friday 27th September 10am – 12pm. Come along and chat with Miss Smith and other parents/carers of nursery children. It would be great to see you there!

We are really excited to have been chosen by the Scottish Book Trust as one of the schools to take part in a live online ‘Draw with Rob’ session on Wednesday 2nd October! It is aimed at P1-4 level.

Therefore, we would like to invite our P1 – P4 parents to join their children in class to take part in this event. (If you have more than one child between P1 – P4, the event will be set up in the hall so you can take part as a family).

The event will run from 10.50 – 12pm. Please join us in making this a great event. This will also help the school move closer to achieving their Silver Reading Schools Award.

Thank you to everyone who came along to our visit their child’s classroom a fortnight ago. It was another very successful event.

The next session will be held on Wednesday October 30th (in the afternoon). Details of timings will be sent out nearer the time.

As a school, we are reviewing our policy on homework and value your opinions. Can you please fill out the Google form below? If you have more than one child at the school you only need to fill out one form; there is a box at the bottom if you wish to write anything for a specific class.
