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.

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.
High School Musical T-Shirts
This year, we are gifting our School Show cast with High School Musical JR T-shirts which they can wear to rehearsals, will wear at the end of the show when all cast are on stage and also as a wee memento to keep to remember their time being part of this experience.
Can parents/carers, please complete to let us know sizes by no later than Friday 3rd May to let us get the order in.
Kind regards,
Mrs McNulty

What an amazing first day we have had!
Today we have enjoyed crate climbing, outdoor laser tag, rafted canoeing and windsurfing. Everyone has shown such determination and enthusiasm for the activities, it has been great to see!
We have been so lucky with the weather too, we hope it remains for the duration of our stay.
We enjoyed some kick ball rounders tonight and are getting ready to enjoy marshmallows around the campfire soon.
