We are offering a workshop for parents to come along and find out more about child poverty and how it affects children’s life chances. We would also like your help in considering what costs school brings and what can be done to reduce these costs for everyone. The workshop will be held in the school on Thursday, 24th May from 9.00 – 10.30 am or 6.00 – 7.30 pm. More information in the attachment.

To increase the number of opportunities we offer, we’re holding a movie night for children in P4-P7 on Thursday, 3rd May 2018 in the school hall. We’re grateful to members of the Parent Council who’ll be helping with supervision and providing refreshments.
Movie night starts at 6 pm and finishes at 7.45 pm.
We’re showing Paddington 2, which comes with a PG certificate.
Crisps and juice are being supplied by the Parent Council.
The event is free but tickets must be ordered in advance so that we have adequate supervision. If you give permission for your child to attend, please return the form we’re sending out (as soon as the copier is fixed !) and we’ll issue your child with a ticket.

Scottish Schools Gymnastics Finals
Congratulations to Tara Harvey, one of our Primary 6 pupils. Tara competed in the Scottish Schools Gymnastics Finals at level 4, which is the highest level. She performed brilliantly and won Gold on Vault making her the Scottish Champion on vault! Everyone involved in Broughton Gymnastics is very proud of her. She is a huge asset to the team as she is a big inspiration to our young cluster gymnasts.
If your child is achieving at local or national level, please let us know.
Head Lice – Facts, Detection & Treatment
Schools and nurseries no longer send out letters to alert parents that a child in the school has head lice. There are a few reasons for this. Most schools and nurseries are likely to have a few children with head lice at any one time. On that basis, ‘alert’ letters could potentially be required every day. ‘Alert’ letters also frequently lead parents to attempt to treat their children preventatively, which is not effective or advised. Head lice infection cannot be prevented, and overuse of insecticide treatments may lead to resistance. Have a look through the advice and guidance provided by NHS Scotland. 25-Head Lice Facts Detection Treatment-Oct2017-English
