Primary 7 Aladdin Vests
Dear Parent/Carer,
Your child will shortly be taking part in a school performance for P7 school show. As always we rely on your assistance to help to organise your child’s costume where possible. As part of the costume for this show, we will be making Arabian style vests which each cast member will wear. To help us to make these vests, we require your child to bring an old t-shirt to school. This t-shirt will be cut and decorated to make their own particular vest. Please only supply an old or cheap t-shirt that you are happy to be cut and sewn.
Each part of our ensemble will require a different shade of t-shirt. We have specified the colour for your child below. If you have any problems sourcing this, please let us know as soon as possible and we will be happy to assist you.
Please can we have these in for Friday 13th March.
As always, your cooperation is very much appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
P7 Teachers

Fairtrade Fortnight
Dear Parent/Carer,
Our Fairtrade Pupil Group members have been working very hard to promote Fairtrade Fortnight which starts on Monday 24 February and finishes on Sunday 8 March 2020.
As preparation for Fairtrade Fortnight the Primary 4 pupil group members conducted a survey to find out which treats children would like to buy at the tuck shop we are planning to run. A subgroup of Primary 5s created posters to advertise the tuck shop around the school. The older members of the pupil group will be giving a speech and showing a PowerPoint to the rest of the school to raise awareness of Fairtrade. The Primary 7 members created a rota for the tuck shop (see below).
We would like to invite children to bring in cash to buy a Fairtrade treat from the tuck shop. We will be offering Geobake chocolate chip cookies, a variety of Divine chocolate bars and Fairtrade Jellybeans. The tuck shop will be running from Monday 2nd March until Friday 6th March. All items are £1.10 so please send your child with the correct amount if possible.
- Monday 2nd March – Primary 1 and Primary 2
- Tuesday 3rd March – Primary 3
- Wednesday 4th March – Primary 4 and Primary 5
- Thursday 5th March – Primary 6
- Friday 6th March – Primary 7
Yours sincerely,
Fairtrade Pupil Group

Charles Rennie Mackintosh Art
Today primary 7b have been working very hard. We have been making art inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
We used the visual elements of lines, form, and shape to draw our own Mackintosh inspired roses.
We also learned about the life of Charles and the buildings in Glasgow that he designed.
