Now we are back in school, we have lots of exciting things planned for this very busy term. Remember to follow us on Twitter @LawmuirPS or download the school app for updates.

Its great to see everyone back and looking so smart after the holidays. It is cold though so if you need to wear an extra jumper please try your best to make it school colors and as plain as possible. No logos please.

If you have found you child has grown over the holiday and you need some uniform please contact the office we have loads of nearly new uniform. We might be able to assist.

Scotland Month

This month is traditionally our Scottish month at Lawmuir. All classes will be learning a wee bit about Scottish culture and history. We would love to see some of their work or poetry recitals on Twitter, so please tag us @LawmuirPS if you wish to do so.

Caledonian Braves

On Saturday, a number of pupils and their parents enjoyed a very wet afternoon out supporting Caledonian Braves.

Miah, who won The Braves recent artwork competition met some players and we all enjoyed an exciting game of football. Next time we are hoping for a win. Thanks to everyone who came along to support.

Industrial Action

Following recent industrial action by teacher unions, the teacher unions, the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS), the Scottish Secondary Teachers’ Association (SSTA), the National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT) and the Association of Head Teachers and Deputes (AHDS) intend to carry out further industrial action over the national pay offer and their members plan to strike in January 2023.

  • All 57 term-time, school-based nursery classes will also be closed to pupils.

The impact of the industrial action may mean that you will need to consider additional childcare arrangements over these dates.

Any school that is closed to children and young people on the dates outlined above, will not have any school meal provision on site, and there will not be any school transport, breakfast clubs or school crossing patrols on the outlined dates.

Alert

HT Update – 1st Sept 22

Proposed Industrial Action – 6th – 8th September

It is intended that all early years establishments, nurseries, primary, secondary and additional support needs schools will be closed between Tuesday 6 and Thursday 8 September (inclusive) due to industrial action which is affecting many councils across Scotland.

The industrial action by UNISON and Unite trade unions affects all staff (with the exception of teachers) in early years, nursery and school settings.

Children should not attend school during the three days of strike action. There will be online learning for children and young people over the three days.

Schools and educational establishments cannot operate for pupils without janitorial, cleaning, catering, technicians, early years and other school support staff.

Teachers, early years and other support staff who are not striking, will continue to work from their place of work over the strike days.

If you are in receipt of free school meals on the basis of low income, we will make arrangements to reimburse you in the same way as the free school meal summer payment. This will be through a direct payment to your bank account or via Paypoint voucher to your postal address and may take up to five working days.

We will be in touch regarding online learning for pupils before the strike days begin.

School will be open as normal on Monday 5th & Friday 9 September.

PE Kit

  • Black Shorts
  • White t-shirt
  • Gym shoes or trainers

If you child doesn’t have a white t-shirt then a Lawmuir polo shirt is acceptable.

To help us get to gym quickly try to wear your PE Kit under your school uniform. If this is not something you can do you will still be able to change.

Water Bottles

Please do not allow your child to bring an umbrella to school.  These can be dangerous in the playground and could cause an accident. If you do use an umbrella we ask that parents take them home again when their child enters the playground.

Umbrellas

Please do not allow your child to bring an umbrella to school.  These can be dangerous in the playground and could cause an accident. If you do use an umbrella we ask that parents take them home again when their child enters the playground.

Wasps

To try and avoid stings pupils are having snack indoors before/after breaks for the time being.  We will review this and let you know when it changes to be back outside. If you are in an upstairs class is would be helpful to have your snack in your bag rather than your lunch box (as these are left downstairs).

After School Clubs

Miss Harper has been working hard to arrange after school clubs for pupils.  Look out for letters coming home offering these to you.  Should you be successful a further letter will be issued asking you to give permission for your child.

More clubs and the details will be shared soon

P4-7 Basketball – Mondays

P1-3 Football – Wednesday

P4-7 Dance – Thursday
