June 2014
Dear Parents and Children,
With only three weeks to go the count down has really started. Cupboards are being cleared (again) and we are starting to look at what we are going to need for next session. Paints, paper, crayons pencils etc will all be ordered soon in readiness for when we come back in August.
Our P7s are all set for their visits to Speyside High and are looking forward to
them. They will have a chance to make new friends, meet new teachers and experience some of the activities they will enjoy when they start after the summer.
Our school roll is set to stay much the same and we will have a few new faces in class next year. It’s all very exciting and we are looking forward to the new challenges.
Fundraising
Our sponsored walk raised a total of £234.50. If anyone has money which is still outstanding we would appreciate it if you could hand it in to the school as soon as possible.
Bags 2 School only managed to raise £25 which was a bit disappointing this time. However there is only so much we can throw out so we might reduce this collection to once a year and consider different ways for fundraising.
The school fund is extremely low and we will need to do something drastic next session other wise we will have to limit our excursions and opportunities we provide for the children. If you have any good ideas please let me know.
Sports Day Start time 1.15pm
I look forward to seeing you on Friday afternoon for our annual sports day with Glenlivet Primary. It’s always good fun and the children appreciate hearing you cheering them on.
Summer Trip
The school trip this year sees us heading to Aberdeen on the train (Colin will take us there in the morning instead of going to school) and we will leave Keith at 10.09am. That in itself will be great fun but then we are boarding the number 15 bus which will take us to Satrosphere Science Centre where we will have a chance to explore all sorts of fascinating things and take part in some workshops. Our return journey by train gets us in to Keith station at 16.37pm where Colin will be ready to collect us and take us all home. Tired but I should think very happy. This will be paid for by the proceeds of the sponsored walk.
Parent Council Barbecue and Treasure Hunt Friday June 20th 6.30pm
Please put this date in your diary and come along to support the children and the school. We are putting together a treasure hunt for you all to take part in which will be followed by the usual barbecue and soft drinks. There will even be a prize for the winning team!
Leavers Assembly Thursday July 3rd at 11am
We will be serving teas and coffees from 10.30 onwards for those of you who can join us for our final event of the session. The P7s have prepared their own unique way of saying goodbye and we will sing a song together before we all head off on our different paths. Thankfully this year we are not saying farewell to any members of staff which must be the first time for quite a few years. It’s good to have a more settled feeling and we can all look forward to more years together as the community of Inveravon Primary.
Kind Regards
Mary Smith
Head Teacher
