AT FLORAS • • Since the last parent council meeting we have been working hard: • Portobello learning festival June 2019. Tickets have been purchased and staff to attend need to be identified. • The staff health and wellbeing library launches officially this Friday! • Gift of book to each staff member shortly before Christmas. This appears to have been well received. • Understanding your child course testing phase complete. • Launch of understanding your child course at the health and wellbeing curriculum event on 30th January and 4th February. •
AT FLORAS • Next steps: • Planning before Easter holidays to look at health and wellbeing books for children. Have started to audit what already exists. • We are planning to begin to look at poverty 1 in 5 materials in the next month. • Firm plan for the art and resilience event developing at the moment. We plan to bring this to the march parent council meeting.
AT FLORAS • • We are open to ideas! • Next meeting of the subgroup will be in March 2019 and we'd love to see you there :)

PHYSICAL HEALTH • Healthier eating: Pupil-generated veggie recipes and cookbook • Waitrose supporting, aiming to secure a local celebrity chef:) • Idea to link in with caterers who supply Flora's - might they take on a new recipe • from time to time? Commitment for all fundraising events to have more healthy options (alongside the • cake) Edinburgh Community Food - monthly Friday lunchtime fruit and veg stall in school • playground? Consideration of how PC can support school catering staff •
