Parent Council Easter Events

Leave a comment

Our Parent Council have decided to hold a drawing competition and a Dress Down Day to raise funds for class trips next term.

Your child will be bringing home an entry sheet today, where they are to design either an Easter egg or an Easter bonnet. The closing date for entries is Friday 22nd March. All entries should be handed in to class teachers and the winners will be chosen later that day by the Parent Council and will be awarded a prize which has kindly been donated by the Gospel Hall.

This Friday 22nd March, the Parent Council will be hosting a Dress Down Day. The cost for this is £2 a child. Please note, no football strips should be worn. When your child hands in their donation, they will be given a raffle ticket which will enter them into a draw to win one of our Easter hampers.

A huge thank you to our Parent Council for organising these events!

World Book Day 2024 UPDATE

Leave a comment

Apologies for the error in the previous post, World Book Day will be celebrated on THURSDAY next week, 7th March.

A wee reminder that chidlren are encouraged to come to school dressed as a book character or wearing their pyjamas and bringing their favourite bedtime story.

On Monday next week, children will be visiting the Book Fair with their class to make their wish list. Parents/carers then have the opportunity to purchase the books online. (Instructions will be noted on the wish list sent home.)

Next Tuesday, we will be selling Bargain Books from the Book Fair, priced £2 or less. These will be cash only sales as these books cannot be reordered once purchased. Children will be given the chance to purchase from the Bargain Books stall on Tuesday only, so please send them with money on this day, should they wish to look.

We will be holding our Big Book Swap on Thursday. If you have any old books in good condition that your child no longer reads, please send them into school, any day from Monday. Mrs Clarke will issue your child with a ticket which will enable to be first to visit the book swap on Thursday to choose a new book.

In addition to this, running all of next week, we are having a ‘GET CAUGHT READING’ competition, where children are to upload a photograph of themselves reading in a different or unusual place, and add this to their Learning Journals as a Parental Contribution.

Our P7 Reading Schools Champions will then review the uploads and will choose a winner to receive a free book from the Book Fair! These photos must be uploaded by Wednesday and the winner will be shared on World Book Day, on Thursday.
