Weekly Information – 19th November 2021

Christmas Arrangements

We are going to ask each family to make a donation towards the cost of Christmas at school if they are able. The suggested donation is £2 per child. We will be giving half of what is collected to ‘Save the Children’ and retaining the other half in school fund to contribute towards the cost of Christmas Craft and fun activities. Please send your Christmas Contribution into school by 10th December. Please put cash in an envelope marked with your child(ren)’s name(s). You can give the envelope to your child to hand in or pop it through the school letter box. We are grateful for your support. Please note the following dates:

Friday 10th December – Christmas Charity Day: we will invite all children to wear a Christmas Jumper for Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day and bring in one item for the Wormit Food bank. If your child doesn’t have a Christmas Jumper they can wear a jumper of their choice – please don’t buy anything especially for this day.

Wednesday 15th December – Christmas Lunch – details about ordering will follow

Friday 17th December – all children will bring home a wrapped gift they have made in school to give to a parent for Christmas. This replaces the traditional Christmas Boutique and will be our habit moving forward.

Week Beginning 20th December – we will send a recorded version of the show home for you to watch with your child (ongoing Scottish Government restrictions do not allow us to invite an audience to join us) and there will be some fun activities – more details to follow.

Responsible Citizens

As part of their work on climate change, P3/4 asked if they could do a litter pick around the village to reduce the amount of plastic in the environment.  The woods were relatively free of plastic but there was a lot of litter around the village.  They did a second litter pick around the village on Wednesday.
