Parents
We continue to benefit from parents sharing their skills and knowledge with the children. If you have a skill you would like to share, we would love to hear from you.
Penny Wars
Pupil Voice – Children regularly meet to share their ideas and recently School Council were keen to organise a fun way to raise funds for school. This money could be put towards a school trip or additional activities throughout the school year.
Their idea of Penny Wars is where pupils collect one pence or two pence coins from home. Pupils have shared how lots of us save change at home and this can help children appreciate how a few pence can add up to a substantial amount. With a little healthy competition between classes, we can hopefully raise pounds by saving pennies. If you have coppers to spare, we would appreciate if your child can bring them into school for their class Penny Wars box.
As always, if you feel there is anything I can help you with, please do not hesitate to contact me at 01383 602425 or northqueensferryps.headteacher@fife.gov.uk
Kind regards
Lee Waugh
Acting Headteacher
