Dear Parent/Carer,

 

The pupils in P5, 6 and 7 are preparing for the much anticipated end of year school show. This year, we have chosen “High School Musical” and look forward to the singing, dancing and entertainment! The dates are Tuesday 11th (1.45pm) and Wednesday 12th June (7pm).

 

We are organising a raffle for the two dates and any money raised will benefit your child in the school. Mrs Ali is looking for any donations of vouchers, gifts or services for the raffle. Anything received will be very much appreciated. If you would like to participate in this, please contact the office or send your donation into school. We appreciate your support in this venture. Thank you!

 

For your homework you have to prepare a solo talk. We want you to talk about your desired future career. Think about;

• What you want to do
• How you plan on achieving this
• What inspired you to choose this career path?
• Is there anyone you admire that is in that career?

 

Make sure you have rehearsed so you can talk loudly and clearly about your aspirations. You can use a power point or cards to help you. You will be assessed on the following:

 

• I made eye contact with my audience
• I spoke clearly and expressively
• I used some interesting words
• The information I shared was in a logical order
• I answered any questions that were asked at the end of my talk

 

You are going to present to the class during the week of the 25^th March

 

 

Good Luck!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have been learning about circuits and used our new Snap Circuit boxes to explore this afternoon.  Look what we have created!  We made light shows, keyboards, voice changers, burglar alarms, motors and many many more things!

Red Nose Day is on Friday 15^th March!

The Braidbar Pupil Council members have organised some fundraising activities on this day. We would encourage children to come to school on Friday 15^th March wearing an item of red, and/or a Red Nose Day accessory and to bring a chocolate donation. In the afternoon a chocolate tombola will take place and each class will be invited along for their chance to win! Tickets are priced at 20p each.

As well as this, the lovely dinner ladies are making some Red Nose Day jammy biscuits! These will be 40p (cash) and can be pre-ordered from Monday 11^th March.

We can’t wait to raise some money for this worthwhile charity who help vulnerable people in the UK and internationally!

Golden Time Afternoon

As you child may have told you, primary seven have chosen to restructure their golden time.  As a result they have one extended golden time a month rather than a weekly one.  Pupils have chosen a different reward activity each month.  This week is movie and snack afternoon for those who have achieved it.  You will be informed if your child does not achieve the reward via a note in the diary.

 

As part of our Natural Disaster topic, the class asked to make exploding Volcanoes. We experimented with mixing acid and alkalis to create our own.  “It was great fun to see the explosions.” Carla. “I liked mixing the materials to see what happened.” Danyal
