Good morning ,

Education Scotland are hosting an event for parents - Parents as Partners in their Children's Learning . This will be held on Saturday 24th March at the Stirling Management Centre , University of Stirling Campus . If you are interested in attending this event , or would like more information about Education Scotland please visit   www.educationscotland.gov.uk 


The Craigton children have been busy recently- I hope you all liked your lovely valentine's day cards! They have also been enjoying walks around the village , and continuing to lookout for birds following our participation in the RSPB bird watch - the lucky birds have also been attracted to our garden by the feeders made by the children!
The sunflowers hugely enjoyed their Bear Hunt activities and you will see evidence of this in the garden , as well as the bear cave they have made in the classroom.
The school house children are making the most of their interest tables - at the moment they are continuing looking at colours and exploring their new treasure baskets. They will also soon be developing sensory areas and activities- and all the children are spotting the signs of the arrival of spring, and looking forward to getting gardening again soon!  

Dont forget its Shrove Tuesday next week(pancake day!) . There will also be a Parents Forum meeting on 22nd Feb - if you have anything you'd like raised at the meeting , please see any of the forum- they are : Angela Bichan , Lyn Cowie , Hazel Farquhar , Mirjam Green , Claire Molloy , Alison Siggins, Sacha Waldin and Susan Yule.
