Weekly Update – 22 May 2023

Sports Day – Friday 26 May – 9:15 – 12pm at Tayport Football Club Grounds – an email was sent out last week re: volunteers to support walking to the grounds and helping with running the event.  Please contact  Sherree Rennie directly 07845 027883 if you can help.  The weather forecast is good for Friday so please apply plenty sunscreen before school and send your child wearing a hat.  Children should wear shorts and trainers as well as something in their house colour : Morton – blue; Scotscraig – green; Kinshaldy – yellow.

Please remember that all children will sit with their teacher and class for the duration of sports day.  Spectators should remain behind the fenced area.

School dinner on sports day will be cold options only – ham or cheese rolls, yogurt, fruit etc.

We were delighted to receive our core Reading School Accreditation recently.  Next session we are going to move forward with gaining the silver level.

Virtual HT Coffee Morning Feedback:

One parent enquired about the way school dinners work. As you know children either choose options at home or in the morning at school, they are then given the relevant coloured band to wear at lunchtime.  As a school we order a few extra lunches in each option to cover the unexpected.  In an ideal world this system would mean that everyone gets exactly what they have chosen but the reality is that children change their mind, lose their bands and very occasionally we run out of a dish that has to be portioned while serving e.g. macaroni cheese.  Our dinner ladies are very accommodating and go above and beyond to make sure everyone gets their lunch,  We recently switched the order that classes come into the lunch hall so that it is not always the same classes coming in last.  Generally we do not have much leftovers (except peas or broccoli!) and this is put into the food waste. If you have any issues with lunches I would urge you to get in touch at the time so we can look into it.
