Weekly Information – 18th August 2023

P1-7 Flu Vaccination

Your child has brought a letter home about this, please complete the form and return it to school by Friday 24th August. You should complete it even if you don’t want your child to have the vaccine because it means the NHS know your wishes – you can with hold consent on the form. Your child will not receive the vaccine in school unless you return the form giving consent. The date for the vaccines is Tuesday 12th September.

 

Instrumental Instruction

If your child is in P7, they will carry on with their brass instrument from last year – the lessons will be on Fridays and they should bring their instrument each week.

If your child is in P6, they will bring  home a letter about instrumental instruction – look out for this in the bag. Next week the instrumental instructors will do some work with the class to assess the children’s aptitude for an instrument and some children will be offered the chance to learn brass. Not all children can be offered this chance and it is helpful if parents can explain to them to help avoid disappointment. All children in P5/6/7 will be doing some Ukulele this year.
