NCPS Mental Health Week 13-17th May 2024
13/5/24 Mental Health Awareness Week Scotland
From Monday 13th until Friday 17th May, we will be hosting activities for each class in support of Mental Health Awareness Week. The theme this year is “Movement: Moving more for our mental health”
Please remember when a gym kit is required – this must include your child bringing a change of footwear (trainers or plimsoles which can be worn indoors) and bringing (or wearing) shorts/leggings/joggers. We would encourage our upper children to have a change of top too, to keep them feeling fresh after physical activity.
Pinafores or school trousers being worn and footwear worn they have come to school in will result in your child being unable to take part.
Monday 13th May
· All children will need gym kit and jewellery removed as there will be sport sessions for everyone in the gym hall. Please bring a water bottle.
· P1, P1/2, P3/4 & P4/5 Lagoon walks – weather appropriate footwear and clothing please.
Tuesday 14th May
· All children will need gym kit and jewellery removed as there will be fitness sessions for everyone in the gym hall. Please bring a water bottle.

Many thanks for your support in this,

PE Kit
Parents/carers,
PE kit is required for all children in the school in order to participate in PE lessons. Lately, we have had more and more children missing out on PE lessons due to not having the correct kit to safely take part.
This includes:
- a change of shoes to be worn indoors
- shorts/joggers to change into
- a change of t-shirt (this is more for our upper children who will be sweating during sessions and will want a fresh top to change back in to to wear for the remainder of the day)
- long hair must be tied back
- earrings must be out to participate in lessons too.
These items can be left in a bag on your child’s peg for safekeeping in school.
Your child’s PE days are noted on our blog. Please be mindful on these days that your child is arriving at school prepared to take part when possible (this includes ensuring they are not wearing pinafores/jumpsuits which means they do not have a T-shirt in school.)
If you have any shorts/joggers or trainers/plimsoles that your child has outgrown, we would happily accept them in school to create a bank of clothing for our young people should they need to access it.
