P1 - 7 Food Preparation and Tasting

Dear Parents/Guardians,

From this Friday and over the next few weeks, classes will be taking part in Scottish food tasting and preparation. Please note, if you do not wish your child to take part in this then please do let the school office know.

Thank you in advance,

Damage to Trees

This is a polite reminder to keep non school children close beside their adults before and after school times. Nursery children are entering school grounds while waiting for siblings and are causing damage to the saplings by pulling out their support canes and standing on the trees themselves. 
Thank you.

Primary 7 Parents - Novel Study

Dear parents/carers,

Your child in Primary 7 will be studying a novel called ‘Divided City’ by Theresa Breslin this term. It is about 4 teenagers who live in Glasgow, and examines the issues of sectarianism and racism from their point of view. To set the scene, the author uses sectarian language that your child might repeat at home, and I wanted to let you know this so that you will be prepared if it should happen. He/she may also wish to discuss with you the issues raised in the book. I hope you will do this, if required, in a tolerant and sensitive way.
 
Glasgow, today, is a multi-cultural city in which we should all be able to live and get on with our neighbours, regardless of race, religion, or which team they support. The idea behind this book is that we encourage our children to discuss the issues raised and come to an understanding of other people’s religion and race. This should result in a more tolerant attitude, making Glasgow and surrounding towns, such as Forth, a safer, happier place for our children to live.
