Sports Day

Unfortunatley due to the predicted weather forecast for tomorrow we have taken the difficult and sad decision to cancel our Sports day tomorrow.  As previoulsy stated due to the volume of other events happening within the school over the next 2 weeks we are unable to reschedule Sports Day.

Summer Trip Reminder

School Tour Clipart

A reminder that our whole school summer trip to Heads of Ayr Farm Park is this Wednesday, 17th June. 

All children attending MUST be in school for 9am sharp as the buses will be leaving very shortly thereafter and are unable to wait for latecomers.

If your child is not  attending the trip, they will have to stay at home as all our staff are going.

Children can wear shorts, joggers, leggings etc, but should have school uniform on top. They should also have a waterproof jacket and a snack with them. There will be the opportunity to have their snack on arrival at the park.

Packed lunches should be brought in a disposable carrier bag. If your child has requested a packed lunch from the school kitchen, they will collect this in the morning.

The buses will be back in time for our usual 3pm finish, however, in their return children will go back to their classrooms where they will be dismissed from there.

Non uniform day – Friday 19th June

In celebration of Scotland making it to the World Cup and in preparation for Friday’s game, we are inviting the children to take part in a non – uniform day. The children can wear a Scotland strip, other national team strip or their own clothes. We ask; however, that no premier league team strips are worn and children only wear  national team strips.

Thank you!

Primary 4 First Communion Celebration

Primary 4 had a fantastic afternoon on Friday at our First Communion Party – we enjoyed  party games, dancing and snacks, including a delicious cake!

We were delighted that Sr. Juliet was able to join us. For the past few months, she has been visiting us in class to support us with our First Communion preparations, so we took this opportunity to present her with a small token of our appreciation for all her support, kindness and prayers.

 

Countdown to Showtime!

Today we had our first full run through using microphones and lighting, and it made a big difference. It’s the first time everything has come together properly, and it gave us a clear sense of how the show will feel on show days. A few things to tidy up, but overall a really solid run.
You might even spot our seating plan is different this year…

Tomorrow we move on to our first full run in costume before the dress rehearsal with Primary 1 and 2 as our audience on Friday.

We’re looking forward to performing for our families next week,  tickets are still available if you haven’t got yours yet.

There will also be merchandise on sale at the shows. Please note that it will be cash only.    Mrs Terras
