P3 Enterprise – Scottish Tuck Shop

Leave a comment
   
Next week sees the return of the P3 Scottish Tuck Shop.  This was a very popular event last year and the children are keen to see it return.
The classes have a timetable of their tuck shop day as shown below:
Base 4 children and Mrs Smith’s P6/7 – Monday 17th
Base 3 children – Tuesday 18th
Base 2 children – Wednesday 19th (most of P3 have chosen to have this during their Parents Open Afternoon but they can have it for snack should they wish)
Primary 2 in Base 2 will be given a time slot before break to purchase items.
Base 1 children – Thursday 20th
On the last day, Friday 21st, the children will have an opportunity to buy from the tuck shop for the final time as a trolley will come round before break.
If possible please bring change with you for your items.
Items on sale will be Irn Bru/Red Kola, tablet, fudge, teacakes, snowballs and chew bars, to name but a few items!  We will also have a selection of cakes donated by Greggs but are unable to say at this point which day that will be as they are kindly donating these to school at some point next week.
Please note that this is a child led Enterprise activity therefore we would advise you discuss with your child beforehand if they have any allergies which items they would be able to purchase as we are unable to cater for all dietary requirements.
Prices will range from 20p to £1 although we do have a limited number of tablet and fudge boxes at £2 which retail between £2.75 to £3.00 normally.
Thank you for your support in this Enterprise Venture.

Be Bright, Be Seen

Leave a comment
As winter is setting in and the days are darker in the mornings and afternoons our JRSO committee have turned towards think about the impact this has on our safety.
Safety Sam, By Tia
Today is  Be Bright Be Seen Day. This is something that the Junior Road Safety Officers have been working on in the school.
The JRSO Group have arranged for classes to design posters and are raising awareness around the school and informing children about the importance of wearing bright clothes when they are outside in the darker mornings and evenings. For each poster handed in the children have received a reflector to clip on to their jackets or bags
