What’s Your Child’s Dream?
Families play a big part in helping their children achieve their dreams. Parents and families can help children learn the essential skills – reading, writing and counting – that will inspire a great future.
All P1-3 pupils will receive a What’s Your Child’s Dream? leaflet in their school bags today. Please take time to visit the website and try out some of the ideas.

P1 PARENTS & CARERS – SCOTTISH BOOK TRUST NEEDS YOUR HELP!
P1 Parents & Carers – Scottish Book Trust needs your help!
Every November, Scottish Book Trust gifts a free bag of books to every P1 child in Scotland to help them with their reading, writing and counting and to encourage them to develop a life-long love of books. Scottish Book Trust is asking parents and carers of children in P1 to complete a short online survey about the Bookbug Primary 1 Family Bag. Please click here to take part in the survey, which shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to complete. Your feedback will help us to improve the Bookbug P1 Family Bag in the future and you could win a free bundle of books! The deadline for completing the survey is 10 February 2017.
KEEPING MURRAYFIELD HEALTHY
This session we will be encouraging all children to stay as healthy as possible and to make the right healthy choices. We will be focusing on encouraging and promoting healthy eating across the school. Here is how you can help your child:
*eat breakfast – remember we have a Breakfast Club Monday to Friday from 8.15am. A Murrayfield breakfast includes toast with flora spread and/or jam, choice of low sugar cereal with milk, water or low sugar apple or orange fruit juice
*choose healthier snacks – fruit, low salt or sugar snacks, try to keep sweets and crisps to a minimum as these snacks tend to be low in nutrients and high calories
*drink water – we encourage all pupils to drink water during class time and have (non-fizzy) juice for lunch or morning break.
*grow your own – all classes have access to our school garden where a range of vegetables and fruits are grown. Maybe you could try to grow some of your own in pots at home
*eat together – we encourage all pupils to socialise with their peers during their lunch. Sitting eating a meal together is a great way of finding out about your child’s day
Please let us know if you have any tips on how to encourage children to make healthier food choices. Perhaps you have a great packed lunch idea or healthy snack suggestions. We would love to hear about your ideas.
