Weekly Information – 27th October

Pantomime Contribution

All children (Nursery – P7) will watch M&Ms production of Cinderella in the school hall on Wednesday 19th December. We are meeting much of the cost of this from school fund plus a generous contribution from Parent Council (who have also offered to purchase a treat for all children). To cover the rest, we are asking for a £4 contribution per child. Please pay this by 19th December using iPayImpact – please choose the fund called School Pantomime. Please don’t send cash but if you have problems accessing iPayImpact, contact Lisa in the office and she will help. If you can’t meet the cost, please email me in confidence to let me know – your child can still attend – no one will miss out!

Playground Snacks

P1-7 parents – please send your child with a playground snack each day.  We recommend fruit, biscuits, crackers, oats bars cheese. One snack is all there is time for. From Monday, there will be a bowl of apples (funded by Parent Council – thank you!) which any child can help themselves to if they have forgotten a snack. Sweets made purely from sugar or sweeteners (Moan, haribo, tic tacs, lollies etc) are not suitable snacks as they do not fill children up and should not be brought to school. Staff will ask children to put these away if they see them with them at playtime – there will be the option to take an apple if this is their only snack. Many thanks for your support.

If your family gets involved – we’d love to hear how you get on with your challenge. It could be a great way to beat the early winter blues!

Thank you to a parent of the school who brought this to my attention.
