Hello everyone,
Children in Need
A huge thank you for all your generous donations for Children in Need. So far the school and nursery have raised £669.76 for Children in Need. If you would still like to make a donation, Parent Pay will be available over the weekend until Monday morning and we will confirm the total amount raised in next Friday’s newsletter.
We also took part in lots of fun experiences for Children in Need, organised by our Primary 7 House Captains. This included decorating our doors, wearing something spotty and doing some spotty artwork! We are very grateful for all of the donations we receive for this great cause.
St Andrew’s Day – Thurs 30th November
To mark St Andrew’s Day the children will be participating in a variety of activities. On Thurs 30th November children should come to school in their uniform as normal, if they would like to, they can add something tartan to it – scarf, tie, skirt, kilt etc.
Chatter Cafe
Due to unavoidable circumstances the Chatter Café on 22nd Nov has had to be cancelled but we will look forward to the next one on 31st January.
Equality & Diversity Parent/ Carer’s Group
Just a reminder to all our parents and carers that out first meeting will be on Wednesday 29 November, from 2.30pm until 3pm. We are looking for people who have ideas on how we can further enhance our school through a number of lenses: gender, race, culture, ethnicity or neurodiversity so please feel free to come along!
