Final Day of Term

It has been a very busy term and we are all looking forward to the holidays.  This week has been one of the busiest with seven parties, a house treat, a nativity at the church service all rounded off by a dress down/pjs day watching the pantomime.  We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to making this a fantastic term.

School closes at 2:30 tomorrow and reopens on Monday 5th January at 9a.m. when we look forward to seeing everyone back, well rested and ready for a fabulous new year!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes!

Christmas Fayre Update

Dear Parent/ Carer
We are excited to announce that this year’s Galston Primary School Christmas Fayre will take place on Thursday 27th November from 3-5pm. The fayre will take place within the school, and we plan to have a range of stalls, games and activities.

We are looking for stallholders. Stalls are priced at £20 plus a small donation for our raffle and can be reserved by emailing
lauren.mcewen@eastayrshire.org.uk.

Santa will be making a special appearance at our Christmas fayre. Our Grotto will be available for booking, prior to the fayre, on ParentPay. The school will then allocate a time slot between 3 and 5pm to avoid long queues. More information will be provided nearer the time.

We will also be looking for donations of home baking. This can be handed into the school office on Wednesday 26th and Thursday 27th November.

Thank you for your continued support
