Welcome to Moving on Monday Club
Today’s blog is especially for PARENTS as you get ready to look out, order and buy things for your child going to school.
You still have plenty of time!! As things stand at the moment, children start P1 in August so there are still 14 weeks to go until Thursday August 20th!
But it’s good to be organised and I know that some of you are ordering uniforms and planning what you’ll need.
SCHOOL UNIFORMS, SHOES AND BAGS
The basic school uniform at Beattock Primary school is WHITE POLO SHIRT, DARK TROUSERS OR SKIRT. As you can see from the photo, cardigans, jumpers, white shirts, pinafores and shorts are all part of the uniform.
What else will my child need?
- Comfortable easy to fasten school shoes
- Indoor shoes your child will change into when in class (these should be like plimsolls, easy to fasten and comfortable)
- clothes for P.E.-tee shirt and shorts/leggings/joggers (indoor shoes can be used for PE but you can also provide trainers)
- Wet weather clothes (such as wellies, outdoor overalls, waterproof jacket),
- School bag
- Pencil case – this is optional but is a nice thing to have for doing homework. The school will provide all essential equipment for learning.
- Water bottle
- Gym bag for PE clothes
The main thing to remember is that your child will be in uniform all day-a uniform should be COMFORTABLE and EASY to get on and off.
Every one else will be in uniform too and cardigans, jumpers and even trousers get lost and mixed up-you’ll need to LABEL everything.
You can also get help to buy a school uniform. Check out the links below:
