With the whole school looking forward to Tuesday’s visit to The Palace Theatre, we are also thinking about the return to school at approximately 4pm. Last year the buses had major difficulties re-entering the school car park. Could we make the following requests please?

• leave the bus spaces along the fence empty where the janitor puts out the cones
• allow staff to take all the children back into classes to collect bags, packed lunch boxes etc. Children will be dismissed from their usual exits thereafter.
• consider making arrangements with other parents to minimise the number of cars in the area. Letting staff know of changes would be very helpful, however, children should also have clear instructions for home time.

Many thanks for your cooperation with all these requests.

Following a clear and confident presentation by Katy, Chloe, Zara and Keira at assembly on Monday, the whole school voted and decided overwhelmingly to support Cash for Kids this year as our Christmas charity. 

The Primary 7 girls explained their suggestion in relation to sending a class Christmas card and making a donation to our chosen charity.

If you and your children wish to support our Christmas charity, donations will be accepted from Monday 3^rd December until Wednesday 19^th December.  Our P7 group will share the total raised at our Christmas Service on Thursday 20^th December.

We are looking for a few people

Our children in the ECC have enjoyed taking part in Fit Kids sessions with Drew Wilson (Ella’s Dad) from Dual Fitness.  The children developed their skills in running, jumping, rolling and balancing and, most importantly, they had great fun being active together 🙂
