P1 – 4 Draw with Rob Parent Event 2nd October
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.
Parental Engagement Event
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.
Homework Consultation
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.
