Many thanks to everyone who supported the event which was a tremendous success. The school was very busy and everyone was certainly in the festive mood.\u00a0 Sincere thanks to the PSA Committee and helpers who set up and looked after the stalls, including a wonderful Santa\u2019s Grotto. We raised in excess of \u00a33000. Well done!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free Meals and New Menus<br \/>\n<\/strong>As of Monday 5th January 2015 all Primary 1 to 3 pupils will be provided with a healthy lunch that meets the requirements of the Health Promotion and Nutrition (Scotland) Act 2007 and I would ask you to encourage your child to take up their entitlement and try the various food available.<\/p>\n<p>Facilities Management catering staff have been working with Head Teachers and school staff to ensure that all children have a positive and enjoyable experience at lunch time. We have developed a menu to allow the pupils to try new and varied foods and we intend to consult with parents towards the Spring break to seek views on the menu.<\/p>\n<p><strong>COMPETITION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>East Renfrewshire Council Road Safety Calendar Competition:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Highly Commended\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sarah Stewart 3a<\/p>\n<p><strong>Karate Champion<\/strong><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Erin De Sykes 6d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3<sup>rd <\/sup>place\u00a0 Kumite \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 9-10 years<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Overall Scottish Kata Champion\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 9-10 years<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<strong>Disco<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Primary 7 Disco \u2013 Tuesday 16th December here in the School Hall 7pm \u2013 9 pm.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the PSA for funding this event for our Primary 7 pupils and providing juice and chocolate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christmas Parties<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>P4 &#8211; P6: Tuesday 16<sup>th<\/sup> December (wear party clothes to school)<\/p>\n<p>P1 \u2013 P3:\u00a0 Wednesday 17th December Christmas Parties (wear party clothes, there will be a special visitor for Primary 1 in the afternoon)<\/p>\n<p>Thanks once again to the PSA for sponsoring these events and providing juice, chocolate bars and ice cream.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday 18<sup>th<\/sup> December<\/strong> \u2013 Reminder: Non-uniform Day for Charity &amp; P7 Enterprise<\/p>\n<p>The whole school will enjoy Christmas Assemblies on Friday 19<sup>th<\/sup> December.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peter Pan<\/strong>M &amp; M Theatre Productions will perform Peter Pan here in the school on Monday 12<sup>th<\/sup> January 2015 for all pupils.<br \/>\nCost per child \u00a32.00.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Please send monies in when we return in January.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REGISTRATION FOR PRIMARY 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your child is aged five between 1<sup>st<\/sup> March 2015 and 28<sup>th<\/sup> February 2016<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">you and your child<\/span><\/strong> should register at your local school between Monday 12<sup>th<\/sup> January until Friday 16<sup>th<\/sup> January from 1.30pm \u2013 3.30pm.<\/p>\n<p>Please bring the following documents:<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"295\" valign=\"top\">\n<ol>\n<li>Child\u2019s Birth Certificate<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td width=\"295\" valign=\"top\">b.\u00a0 Child Benefit Statement<\/p>\n<p>If no Child Benefit is applicable, a Driving Licence, Utility Bill or Bank Statement is acceptable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"295\" valign=\"top\">\n<ol>\n<li>Current Council Tax Notice<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td width=\"295\" valign=\"top\">d.\u00a0 Mortgage Statement or Rental Agreement showing same name &amp; address as on the child benefit letter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"295\" valign=\"top\">\n<ol>\n<li>Baptismal certificate if appropriate<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td width=\"295\" valign=\"top\">\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>As parking is difficult, attending between 1.30pm \u2013 2.45pm would be appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>HOLIDAYS\u2014REMINDER<\/p>\n<p><strong>School will close on Friday 19th December at 2.30pm <\/strong>and re-open on<\/p>\n<p>Monday 5<sup>th <\/sup>January 2015 at 9.00am.<\/p>\n<p>May I take this opportunity on behalf of the staff to thank you all for your tremendous support and cooperation and to wish you and your families a very happy, holy and peaceful Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Yours sincerely<\/p>\n<p>Charles Jamieson<\/p>\n<p>Head Teacher<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Parent\/Carer May I once again thank you for your tremendous support throughout the year but particularly over recent weeks.
