Winter Fayre Stalls
We will be holding our annual Winter Fayre on Thursday 20th November, 6.30pm-8.00pm. If you, or someone you know, would like to reserve a stall at the fayre please email or call the school office to book a place. Stalls are £15, payable on the night. As well as being a fantastic, fun, community event, the Winter Fayre allows us to raise funds for our school and nursery funds. These are used to buy lots of additional resources for the school and nursery eg the development of our outdoor spaces and playground games and toys.

Bikeability Help
Bikeability Scotland will be delivering training for anyone that would like to become a volunteer and help us deliver cycle training. Feedback from other parents that have undertaken this training and now help with Bikeability in school is very positive.
“The training was excellent and gave me the knowledge and confidence to be able to plan and deliver sessions right away… We received lots of fun games and helpful tips and it was great to be able to refer back to these.”
“Cycling is such an important life skill… it was super rewarding delivering these sessions. The children always have a great time and are very enthusiastic and respectful.”
The training will be on Wednesday 3rd December and Friday 5th December 9am-12.30pm at Carolside Primary.
Participants are required to attend both mornings and it covers Level 1 playground training and Level 2 on road training. The course is a mix of theory and practical so those attending will need access to a bike and helmet.
If you would like to attend the training or would like more information please email Mr Bryce. An information flyer can be found here.
Celebrating Children’s Achievements
We always enjoy celebrating our children’s achievements, both in and out of school however, this session, we are making some changes to this process after speaking to groups of children and getting feedback from them.
Any out of school and any in-school achievements will now be displayed proudly on our lovely new House display boards. Please drop by to have a look any time you are in school, these are located in the link corridor leading off the atrium. These achievements can be big or small as we recognise that even what may appear as a small achievement to one person can be a huge success to another e.g. Learning to ride a bike or gaining a badge at swimming. In order to submit the information about your child’s out of school achievements, please complete the Google Form using the link below. Please note the link will feature each week in our Friday newsletter and you are welcome to send in achievements at any time.
Achievements Outside of School Google Form
No photographs are required. We will display your child’s name, details of their achievement and their house colour on the House Boards which we hope to fill with lots of wonderful achievements as we know so many of our children do fabulous things out with school. As always, we would be very grateful for any feedback from parents/ carers in relation to this.

Primary 7: Remembrance Assembly

As always, we are always here to help in any way we can, whether that be about your own child or a more general matter in relation to the school or nursery. We are also always looking for suggestions and new ideas so please don’t hesitate to get in touch at any time.
Have a wonderful weekend.
