Beep Beep Day!

Braidbarā€™s Junior Road Safety Officers have organised a ā€˜Beep Beep Dayā€™ on Wednesday 20th November. This is to raise money for Brake the road safety charity.

On this dayĀ pupils can come to school wearing a stripy top/bottoms to represent a zebra crossing. It is not a ā€˜dress as you pleaseā€™ so please ensure if you choose to wear a stripy top/bottoms that you are wearing the rest of your uniform. The JRSOs would appreciate it if you could please bring a 50p donation.

Classes will be participating in fun activities to engage children with road safety basics. The whole school will also walk for a mile around the school to put their road safety learning into action!

There will also be traffic light shortbread biscuits being sold at tuck on this day, if you wish to buy one but this is entirely optional.

Read, Write CountĀ 

The aim of the Read, Write, Count initiative by the Scottish Book Trust is to provide all P2 and P3 learners with resources to enhance literacy and numeracy skills. You might remember your child receiving a similar Bookbug bag at nursery and in P1.

To build excitement amongst the pupils, we are holding a ‘P2 Bag Gifting’ event and invite you to join us for some activities on Friday 22nd November at 2:15pm.

We hope to see you then!
