With the Easter break approaching, I hope that this update will be helpful to you.
Parents’ Nights
Parents’ night appointments should now be with you. This is an important opportunity to speak to the class teacher to discuss your child’s progress. If you are unable to make these appointments please contact the school office.
Red Nose Day
As an earlier letter informed you, P2 are supporting Comic Relief on Friday 24th March. There will be a Cake and Candy on the day, prices from 20p to £1. Pupils are allowed to wear something red and are encouraged to bring in a donation for this very special cause. Over the next couple of weeks, pupils can buy red noses, and guess the Easter Bunny’s birthday.
P7 Sponsored Run
P7 are holding a Sponsored Run at 2pm on Tuesday 28th March, at Cowan Park. Funds raised from this event will go towards their end of term celebrations. Pupils are hoping that some parents/carers will join them on the day.
Spring Service
On Friday 31st March at 10.30am, all are welcome to join us in school for the Spring Service. We look forward to our P3 pupils performing for us. As is the usual tradition, if you’d like to donate some flowers to the school, for distribution around the local care homes, please send them to school on that day.
P5 Residential Trip
Our P5 children, and various members of staff, enjoyed a great three days at the Belmont Outdoor Centre in Perthshire earlier this month. Photographs of the children’s experience can be seen on the website and Twitter feed.
Open Afternoon
Thanks also to all who were able to be in school for our second Open Afternoon, earlier this month. Your support of this event is very much appreciated.
NASA Visit
On Friday 3rd March we were lucky enough to have a visit from an astronaut, Brain Duffy. The children enjoyed listening to Mr Duffy and loved watching his videos of when he was commander of the Space Shuttle. Our thanks go to Barrhead Travel who organised this visit.
Holiday Dates
The school will close for the annual Easter break on Friday 31st March 2017 and reopen on Tuesday 18th April 2017.
National Elections
We have been notified that the school will be used as a polling station for the Local Government Elections on Thursday 4th May. Therefore, the school will be closed on that day.
