 Life Under Water 

Monday 11th May is the start of Week 3 of our ‘Our Planet’ whole-school project and the theme this week is ‘Life Under Water’. So far, families have learned about ‘Weather/Seasons’ and ‘Life On Land’ and teachers are enjoying hearing and seeing the activities their pupils have been participating in at home through their weekly email contact with families. We also love it when you tag us on Twitter (@udston_primary) and share photographs so please keep doing that!

You can access electronic copies of the Week 3 Project plans below. You can also access Week 1 & 2 planners here.

very important

Please remember, we NEED you to keep in touch with your child’s class teacher once a week. This lets us know our families are safe and well. Please still get in touch even if your child hasn’t taken part in any of the school’s suggested home learning activities, class teachers would still love to hear from you. Emailing their teacher is an excellent real-life writing opportunity for children too, it is also a great way to develop their ICT skills. The weekly emails allow children and families to ‘connect’ with the school and this is really important right now – we are all missing each other!

Please remember if you need help, support or a listening ear, please get in touch with a member of the Senior Leadership Team via email – we are here to help. You can find our email addresses in the Home Learning Newsletter below as well as your child’s class teacher’s email address.

COVID-19 – Community Wellbeing Line

important update

South Lanarkshire Community Planning Partnership

A new helpline is now available for individuals living in South Lanarkshire who are self-isolating/vulnerable and whose usual support network is no longer available.

The helpline will help people to access food and other essential supplies.  The Community Engagement Team within the council have been working  along with VASLAN to collate activity which is happening within communities, and to make contact with new groups and networks which are developing in response to the current situation.

Community volunteers are playing a key role in supporting the people around them.  This includes helping transport essential goods such as food to people who cannot leave their home, carrying out welfare checks where there was a concern expressed about the wellbeing of someone, and offering telephone befriending to those who are isolated.

The helpline number is 0303 123 1009 and the opening hours are as follows:-

Monday to Thursday 8.45 – 4.45

Friday 8.45 – 4.15

Saturday and Sunday 8.45 – 4.45

Please pass this information on to any people who are self-isolating/vulnerable and don’t have any other support networks available. If you have any questions about the helpline please email communities@southalarkshire.gov.uk

SLC are seeking volunteers!

If you are interested and have some time to help our communities please email communities@southlanarkshire.gov.uk
