The password for this has been sent to the main contact for all children.

We recently had a visit from “Strider” the WOW mascot. This was linked in with our first SCIAF Fundraising Activity of wearing trainers to walk to school.

The children had a lot of fun playing with Strider and even doing the congo with him in the playground.

Coming up this week ……………

Friday 15^th March – Wear green for St. Patrick’s Day  (no football colours)

We have already started planning our whole school summer trip to Blair Drummond Safari Park!

🐵🦁🦓🦍🦧🦏🐘

Our proposed date for the trip is Wednesday 19th June, however, this has still to be confirmed with the Safari Park.

The cost per child will be £15. This covers entry to the park and our transport there and back. This is now live on Parentpay and can be paid for in 3 instalments of £5 between now and 31st May.

More information will follow closer to the date.

Tickets are being issued today for our Spring Disco!

Please do not send the tickets or money into school, they should both be brought ON THE NIGHT.

Thanks

P4 enjoyed some book related activities to celebrate World Book Day.

We had fun sharing our favourite stories and characters with our friends. We also put our artistic talents to good use, and whilst enjoying some March sunshine, we drew our favourite characters. There are definitely some budding illustrators in P4!

A reminder that the school car park is for staff only and should not be used by the public at any point.  Parents/carers are requested to not drop children in this area or use the car park to then lift children over school fencing.

Thank you for your support in this.

We apologise for the delay in the publication of our Christmas show photographs.  This will be published soon in the form of a password protected SWAY document.  The password will be emailed to the main contact on our school records.

If you do not wish your child’s photograph to be used in this please contact the school by the end of Thursday this week.
