‘Winter Ready’ Parent Workshops
A number of parents have indicated that they would find a workshop on being ‘Winter Ready’ in case of school closures due to poor winter weather useful. In response, we have arranged three dates and times for these workshops so there should (hopefully) be one suitable for everyone. The workshops will explain the measures we have in place to continue with learning if school has to close and how to access resources through the school Blog and GLOW. The dates and times are as follows:
Friday, 02 December @ 12.00 noon (just before children are being picked up);
Tuesday, 06 December @ 8.45 a.m. (just when children are being dropped off);
Tuesday, 13 December @ 6.00 p.m.
Each workshop should only last for around 15-20 minutes and we hope as many of you as can possibly make it will attend one of them. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Fantastic Effort for Children in Need
The children of Stoneyburn Primary School have once again shown their concern for others by donating to the children’s charity Children in Need. The children sold wristbands and had a ‘Spotty Day’ where they paid a fine for not wearing school uniform. The amazing total of £253.93 has been raised through their efforts. A huge ‘Well Done!’ to everyone who helped or donated in any way.
Road Safety Week
This week is Road Safety Week.
The JRSO’s and the Transport Group have designed posters which are displayed around the school. The slogans used on the posters are to raise awareness of Road Safety for both children and parents. Please take the time to have a look at the JRSO’s and the Transport Groups work.
