Falkirk Council Date: January 2021 Children’S Services Airth Primary School Elphinstone Crescent, Airth, Falkirk Telephone: 01324 831265 Acting Headteacher: Mrs S Ritchie Falkirk Council Date: January 2021 Children’s Services Dear Parent/Carer, It is so difficult to find ourselves back in this position where children are not in school, it is a worrying time for us all. But as previously, we all pulled together to support each other, our families and our community and we will do the same again to get through this! Following the Scottish Government announcement on 4th January, the majority of our children will now be accessing learning remotely at home from Monday 11th – Friday 29th January with the hope that all children will return to school on 1st February. Contained in this letter you will find some updates as well as information that was issued in my previous letter issued before the holiday. All children have access to their class Teams page and have been practicing how to access this independently in school. For week beginning 11th January: Learning will be posted daily on Teams in line with learning that would take place in the classroom. Learning will be provided in a variety of ways – task grids, powerpoints, videos and live Teams meetings. Class teachers will be available ‘live’ on Teams twice daily – once in the morning and once in the afternoon for 30mins. During these times class teachers will discuss set learning for the day and direct pupils to where they can find learning activities. Please note that this is not a time for parents to communicate with the class teacher. This should only be done through posted comments in your child’s Class Notebook. Please do not worry if you are unable to access Teams at the allocated ‘live’ times, these are not direct teaching times. All teaching inputs will be pre-recorded to allow you to watch at any time. ‘Live’ sessions with the class teacher may take the form of video meetings, audio only meetings or communication through the chat function. Support and feedback on learning will be provided by the class teacher out with these times. Additional Support for Learning for individuals will be provided where possible. For the vast majority of children, Home Learning packs sent home in October for self-isolation should still be available to use if required. Director: Robert Naylor Sealock House Grangemouth. Telephone : 01324 506600 Fax : 01324 506601 www.falkirk.gov.uk Live interaction times with the class teacher Morning Afternoon Primary 1 9.00 1.00 Primary 2 9.30 2.30 Primary 3 10.00 1.30 Primary 4 9.30 1.00 Primary 5 10.00 1.30 Primary 6 9.30 2.00 Primary 7 9.00 2.30 We appreciate that as some of the timings are the same for more than one class this might impact on siblings who are sharing a device. We have tried to avoid this by spreading the timings out as much as possible but to ensure that class teachers are available early morning, in some cases this has been unavoidable. We would suggest that if this is the case for your children, they access at least one live session each day. Class Teacher Planning and Preparation Time When in school, class teachers are entitled to non-class contact time to support planning for learning and teaching; therefore no class teacher will be available on-line on a Wednesday from 11.00am. This means that there will be no live session on a Wednesday afternoon and any work or comments posted will not be responded to until the Thursday. Accessing Teams Glow can now also be accessed through games consoles: https://youtu.be/rWTwAfLKbkU https://youtu.be/mHTHaXhccDE Page 2 of 3 If you require support to access your child’s Teams page or to upload learning, please see the video links below: Video 1 - Guide for signing into Glow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZBCrLYrAzw Video 2 - Overview of the Glow homepage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1tH182z6Po Video 3 - Logging into Microsoft Teams on a tablet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_up5wh3yUA Video 4a - Guide to Using OneNote (Browser) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYGndjix3O0 Video 4b - Guide to Using OneNote (App) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEStUbnQHlw Other on-line platforms Your child has login details for: Sumdog: https://www.sumdog.com/user/sign_in Active Learn: https://www.activelearnprimary.co.uk/login?c=0 Through Glow, pupils can access a range of sites, including BorrowBox and TigTag. **Please remember that all pupils can download the full Microsoft Office suite for free after signing into Glow and clicking the 'Download Office Now' app. This can be downloaded on up to 5 devices including desktops, laptops, tablets and mobile phones.** Access to devices/SIMS App message issued previously with regards access to devices and SIM cards. If you still require support with this please contact the school [email protected] Some families requested more than one device to support their children at home. Unfortunately at this point we are unable to facilitate this due to the number of devices being handed out. We understand that working from home and supporting children and young people to learn from home is not easy. Information and supports are available from: Connected Falkirk Blog – digital learning support Connected Falkirk - Blended Learning Support Parent Club – Learning At Home Again l would like to reiterate how fully we do appreciate that a lot of parents will still be working whilst also trying to support their child/children with remote learning or children are in childcare. As class teachers are providing more directed teaching inputs this time, we hope that children are able to access more learning independently, particularly our older children. However, we understand if your child is not able to access the learning posted on Teams each day and that you may decide to provide your own form of learning. Please do not put yourselves and your family under undue pressure to complete everything that is provided. When the children are all back in their classroom, we will adapt our learning plans and meet them where they are. Teachers are experts at this! Please do what supports your own family circumstances and most importantly the health and wellbeing of all members of your household. Take care, stay safe and we hope to see everyone back as soon as possible. Sharon Ritchie Acting Headteacher Page 3 of 3 .

  • The Feudal Land Divisions of Denny and Dunipace Part 1
    Calatria Summer 1995 No. 8 The Feudal Land Divisions of Denny and Dunipace Part 1 John Reid From the earliest records for Denny and Dunipace, we find that the area had three distinct divisions: Herbertshire, Temple-Denny and Torwood. Herbertshire comprised a significantly greater area than the other two and, in the later feudal period, came to be further divided with the creation of lesser estates such as Dunipace-Livingston and Little Denovan. Each of the major divisions is discussed here. As we should expect, these in turn had numerous subdivisions and they will be the subject of part 2. The Parishes of Denny and Dunipace CONTENTS (click links to read) The Ancient Barony of Dunipace or Herbertshire The Barony of Denny or Temple Denny The Barony of Torwood Falkirk Local History Society Page 1 Calatria Summer 1995 No. 8 THE ANCIENT BARONY OF DUNIPACE OR HERBERTSHIRE The Barony of Herbertshire The records of the area which we know today as the parishes of Denny and Dunipace reach no further back than the twelfth century. Then, probably all of the parish of Denny and certainly the greater part of the parish of Dunipace comprised a tract of land which in the earliest documents is named “the lands of Dunipace” and, some time later, “the barony of Dunipace” but which by the middle of the fourteenth century came to be known as the “barony of Herbertshire”. Much later, as we shall see, a significant part which lay in the parish of Denny took the name of South Herbertshire. The remainder of the parish of Denny came into the hands of one of the orders of mediaeval knights at some time prior to the fourteenth century and was known as the Barony of Denny or Temple-Denny.1 Lying in the north-west of Falkirk District, Herbertshire was the second-largest of the baronies in East Stirlingshire.

Entertained by “Scotlands Minstrel” Alastair McDonald, a touch of nostalgia was brought to the evening with songs of yesteryear including Alastairs signature song “Sam the Skull” recorded in the 70's. The popularity of Ewan Archibalds Ceilidh Band was evident by the ever growing number of dancers taking to the floor. What seemed a never ending list of raffle prizes were drawn by Jack Pryde of Dunfermline Tours and Lilian Watson. The prizes were very varied with the most unusual being a trip for two in a light aircraft. A well stocked bar with friendly staff combined with an extremely generous buffet topped off the evening with many asking about future events. A great deal of work went into organising the event, not least the Health & Safety, Risk Assessment and Licensing aspects and our thanks go to Billy Pitt and his team for their work in ensuring the evening was a success.

  • Stirling County Building Warrants
    Falkirk Archives (Archon Code: GB558) FALKIRK ARCHIVES Local authority records Stirling County Council Building Warrants Finding Aid Administrative History The origins of building standards were in the Dean of Guild Courts of the medieval Royal Burghs. Their powers to hear offences against neighbourliness gradually evolved into modern planning and building control regulations. From 1862 Town Councils were permitted to set up Dean of Guild Courts and from 1892 all town councils were required to set up Dean of Guild Courts. The Dean of Guild Courts had powers to impose conditions relating to public health under the 1862 Police Act. County Councils had similar powers from 1889. Scope and Contents Building warrant files, building warrant application registers and annotated Ordnance Survey maps, for the geographical area formerly administered by Stirling County Council and now administered by Falkirk Council. Building warrant files contain the plans, petitions (ie applications), completions certificates, correspondence and related papers submitted to the local authority for permission to build or to make structural alterations to domestic and public buildings under successive building control and building standards legislation. The Registers provide a summary list of applications and their outcome. Arrangement Stirling County Council building warrants from c 1900-1964 were separated into geographical areas and this order has been maintained. The red area covers the south and east of the former County of Stirling, including Shieldhill, Polmont and the Braes. The yellow area covers the areas around Bonnybridge, Denny and Dunipace. The blue area covers Airth, Larbert and Stenhousemuir. However it should be noted that some building warrant files were put into the “wrong” colour-coded area and there has been no attempt to correct this.
