Welcome to all the new pupils who are starting in 1M – we hope you have a great first week at Applegrove!

We were all entertained on the last day of the term with a concert hosted by P6 pupils. We started with the  Wee Room pupils accompanied by Mr Watson and ended with P7 singing their own version of ‘seven years’. Before we finished we all sang one of favourites ‘You are a Star’ to P7. Well done to all the fab performers and P6. Well done and to Stuart who won the House Points trophy this year.

We would like to wish you all a very happy holiday – Lets hope the sun shines a bit!

Lost property will be available to view in the main hall from 2pm today. Please feel free to come in and have a look.

The gardening club and Mrs Newlands celebrated their year of hard work with a small party . ‘Gardener of the Year was awarded to David Spencer. He is just about to leave P7 but has shown commitment to the Gardening Club at Applegrove for many years . Well deserved. Many thanks to Mrs Newlands who  puts in lots of hard work and effort throughout the year (and in her holidays!)

P7 put on a very humorous and moving assembly on Tuesday. Lots of laughs and teary eyes as they reflected on their seven years at Applegrove. Appropriately they sang their own version of ‘Seven Years’.

The weather forecast is looking good for this afternoon so we are planning to go ahead with the P4 – 7 Sports.

Thank you very much to the PTA and Staff who helped with the two Discos last Thursday. The children had a super time and behaved very well and boogied the night away! We hope P7 enjoyed their last Disco at Applegrove. We will miss their enthusiastic dancing and good spirits. Mrs Maclennan took lots of photos of you (below)demonstrating your cool moves!

A huge thank you to the PTA for organising another successful Summer Fayre on Saturday. We could not run it without the staff, pupils and parents who volunteered to man the stalls.  The rain stayed off for the Fair and didn’t start until the Duck Race – but the ducks didn’t mind!

There were 123 balloons in the Fiat so well done to Hollie and Rosie Fraser who had the nearest guess. Well done to Tyler Frisken who won the sweets. There were 914 in the jar. The winner of the Duck Race was Hayden Sewell 1K who wins £150 , 2^nd Blair MacDonald 1K, who wins £100, 3^rd Isla Brain 7H who wins £50 – not forgetting Ruby and Hope McIntosh whose Grandad’s duck was the last home and wins £25. The winner of most ducks sold was, once again, Ben Ross 4FL who wins the £50 PINZ gift voucher. Thank you to everyone who bought ducks and helped the PTA raise lots of money.

We have made the decision to postpone the sports today. This was based on the terrible forecast for this afternoon and the fact that the heavy rain this morning meant that the field was already quite wet. We hope to hold the sports next Tuesday 21st at the same time. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thank you to the parents and staff and pupils who supported one another so well at the Infant Sports on Monday. It was nice and mild and the rain stayed off. Everyone seemed to enjoy putting our new sacks to good use and took part with good spirit and determination . Well done to you all. A special thank you to the PTA mums who took it in turns to sell coffee and tea in between watching their children. Thank you also to the P6 new SFF Officers who ran back and forward with equipment and who gave out stickers (apologies if they made a few mistakes – we will get this sorted for next year!) You were all winners on the day!
