We are looking forward to our Halloween discos on Thursday the 26^th of October 2023.

P1-3      4.30 – 5.30pm

P4-7      6 – 7.30pm

Tickets are priced at £2 which includes crisps and a drink. All money raised will go towards School Funds for our Summer Trips.

Many pupils are now on the disco guest list. Any remaining families who wish for their children to attend should ensure they send payment into school in a sealed envelope with your child(ren)’s details and DISCO written on the front.  Children will not receive a ticket, but their name will be added to our guest list.

Children should enter the disco by the main door.  At the end of the disco, parents/carers should collect their child(ren) from Gate 1 (at the staff car park). To ensure everyone’s safety all children MUST be collected due to the dark nights and no school crossing patrols at those times.

We will be celebrating Halloween in school on Friday the of 27th October. There will be variety of spooky activities in class throughout the day. Children are welcome to come to school dressed up in their Halloween costumes, but there is no obligation to do so. Anyone opting not to dress up may come in non-uniform.  NB: Costumes and make-up will need to be done at home. Those who do dress up must note that no accessories of any kind are allowed in school on the 27^th  during the school day, including masks, swords, knives, wands, guns, tridents etc. This helps prevent loss and injury.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely

Dear Families,

As per Glasgow City Council policy, no jewellery is allowed to be worn during PE lessons, such as gym sessions, dance workshops and swimming lessons. This includes, but is not limited to:

• bracelets
• necklaces
• earrings
• nose-piercings

All jewellery needs to be removed before taking part in taught physical activities. This rule applies to boys and girls. We recommend that families take children to get ears etc pierced during the Summer break to allow ample healing time, 6 weeks, so that earrings can then be removed for PE. Glasgow’s full Health and Safety document for physical activity can be viewed by scanning the QR code at the bottom of this page.

It is important that pupils come prepared to learn and for PE this requires appropriate clothing. Pupils who are unable to participate in practical PE should still bring their kit to allow them to assist in the lesson by refereeing, keeping scores or assisting with the distribution of equipment. Our PE kit consists of plimsolls/trainers (indoor shoes), a plain t-shirt and plain black shorts. Please also remember that no football colours/strips (regardless of team or country) should be worn, nor should football shoes with studs.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Yours

From Wednesday the 4^th of October 2023 pupils attending Breakfast Club should enter the school playground via Gate 1 and enter the building via the Lunch Hall doors in the main playground. For health and safety reasons pupils will no longer be admitted to Breakfast Club via the Main Entrance (Reception).

Please be advised that Breakfast Club starts at 8am. For health and safety reasons, namely that there is no adult supervision, pupils should not be dropped off at school before this time. Breakfast Club finishes at 8.45am. As normal, after Breakfast Club P1-4 pupils will be escorted to class for soft start. P5-7 pupils will be supervised in the playground by school staff.

Our playground is staffed from 8.45am. Pupils, not attending Breakfast Club, should not be dropped at school before this time for Health and Safety reasons. In the event of a wet morning P5-7 pupils will be brought into the Lunch Hall at 8.45am.

Thank you for your continued support.

Yours
