Thank you for the great response for football tickets. Your child will bring them home in their bags either today or tomorrow. If however by Wednesday if you have not received your request please let Mrs Lawson know.

Fingers crossed for a good result on Saturday!

Please note that our Christmas Tea Towels are available to parents of children in the Early Childhood Centre or in Primary 1, 2 or 3.

Unfortunately cotton bags will not be provided with the tea towels.

All orders MUST be returned to the school WITH PAYMENT by THURSDAY 21ST NOVEMBER.

Your child is invited to take part in our whole school Dress Down Day on Friday 22nd November. This applies to all children in the primary school and ECC.

We are not taking money  as payment for this but would  very much appreciate if everyone taking part would bring to school a donation(s) for our Christmas Fayre which will take place the following week on Thursday, 28th November between 3.30pm and 6.30pm.

Donations could be for our bottle stall, gift stall, Grand Raffle or small items as prizes for our kid’s tombola.

We are also still looking for a few more stall holders and also volunteers from within our parents to help at the Fayre. Please complete the separate blog post if you can help on the day!

Your help in ensuring the success of our Fayre is very much appreciated.

ANGEL EXPRESS – NATIVITY

Primary 2 are looking for any angel costumes, white shirts or silver tinsel that you might have at home that you no longer need. Please hand in to the school office or send in with your child.

We have had an amazing offer from Kilmarnock Football Club!

They are offering every child a free child’s ticket PLUS a free adult’s ticket for the home game against Hearts next Saturday, 23rd November (3 pm kick off).

That means that, potentially, Gargieston could have over 800 people in the family stand that day! Let’s support our local club and take advantage of this amazing offer.

If you would like to receive tickets for the game, please complete the drop down below or for further details please call Mrs Lawson.

We are aware that by the time pupils reach the P5/6 stage a lot of them have younger siblings.  As a result we have not had a huge response to our clubs.  Please feel free to bring along younger siblings to these clubs to join in the learning.  Pupils still require adults to attend with them each week.

The P5/6 Electricity STEM after-school club will begin on Wednesday 20th November and will run for four weeks from 3.30pm until 4.30pm.  Participation in the club will require children attending the club to be accompanied by an adult.  This is to enhance family engagement in the STEM subjects.   If you would like to attend please use the form below to sign up.  The cut off date is Friday 15th November.  The club is limited to 20 places, if more than 20 children sign up names will be drawn from a hat.

ECC nativity tickets can now be collected from Mrs Hendrie in the ECC for our performance of “It’s a baby!”

Performances will be held on Wednesday 11th December.  Doors will open 15 minutes before the performance starts.

Morning performance starts at 10am

Afternoon performance starts at 2.15pm

All ante pre school children should wear a Christmas jumper on this day.

The ECC children have been voting for what they would like as their special Christmas treat this year. Following this vote, we have arranged a visit from 2 reindeer on Tuesday 3rd December. The children will be able to interact, feed, pet the reindeer and Santa will also be making an appearance.

Can I remind all parents that we are looking for £2 per child to go towards the cost of this please. Money should be paid to Mrs Hendrie in the ECC.

Thank you
