\nPrimary 1-6: Transition Letter
\n<\/strong>As part of the transition process, we thought it would be a lovely idea for the children in P1\u20136 to write a letter to their new class teacher. A letter template has been put into your child\u2019s school bag today to help with this. Please also take a moment to read the attached letter<\/a>, which has more details about this activity. We are really looking forward to reading the children\u2019s letters \u2013 thank you for your support!<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>As part of our Big Question \u2018What Makes Scotland Special?\u2019 Primary 2c have been learning about Scottish food and are going to learn how to make shortbread on Wednesday 4th<\/sup> June. They will also have the opportunity to eat their shortbread if they would like to. The ingredients we will be using are: plain flour, a little sugar and butter. If your child\u2019s allergy information that we hold in school has changed, please inform the school office by Tuesday 3rd<\/sup> June.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>As the end of term approaches, we are preparing a special send off for our Primary 7 classes as they move on to high school. We welcome you to our Graduation Ceremony on Tuesday 17th<\/sup> June. Each child will receive two tickets home next week for this event and doors will open at 09:15 for a 09:30 start on the day.\u00a0 It will be very busy in our Atrium and therefore it is really important that a maximum of 2 adults attend due to Health and Safety rules and regulations- thank you.<\/p>\n
