Mrs N’s Notes, 17.5.24

Week 3 menus ahead.  Please remember that P.6 & 7 pupils do not automatically receive a free school meal.  All meals should be payed online before your child purchases their breakfast or lunch.

PRIMARY 1 INDUCTION

We look forward to welcoming our new Primary 1 pupils to join us on Monday afternoon, 20.5.24.  All families should enter through the main school doors.  If your child is at our own nursery that day, they will be brought around to Room 1 by our nursery staff.  All children will have the chance to play in class, while I run the adults through some important information for the year ahead.  The adults will meet in the gym at 2.00pm.  We will be finished by 2.45pm, allowing you time to collect any other children when they finish.

NURSERY GRADUATION

Our youngest learners are looking forward to performing for their families at their Graduation on the afternoon of 19th June.  Doors will open at 1.15pm, with the event kicking off properly at 1.30pm.  A letter is coming home on Monday with information about ticket sales.

SUMMER SHOW

If you’ve been keeping you eye on your Calendar of Events for the year, you will know we are planning our summer show on 17th & 18th June.  We will have an afternoon performance on 17th and a morning show on 18th.  As always, we will offer 2 tickets per family initially, with extra tickets available if we have any left over.  Please note, only P.1-7 will be performing on this occasion, as the nursery are entertaining their families at their Graduation on 19th.

Tickets will go on sale on Monday 3rd June, with extra tickets being available from Wednesday 12th June.  More information coming home next week.

PRIMARY 7 LEAVERS ASSEMBLY

As you know, our P.7 Leavers’ Assembly is scheduled for the afternoon of 24th June.  We will open the doors at 1.15pm, with the intention of starting at 1.30pm in the school hall.  An invitation from your own child will be coming home soon!  We look forward to welcoming many of you then.

PARENT COUNCIL AGM

Our next Parent Council AGM will be held on Monday 3rd June at 7.00pm.  This will be a virtual meeting on WebEx.  If you would like to join the meeting, or would like to be more involved in the year ahead, please contact the school office, or a member of the Parent Council for more information.  If your child attends Kirkshaws Primary or Nursery you are a member of our Parent Forum and eligible to attend all meetings and be a part of the committee if you wish.

POLYTUNNEL UPDATE

Please remember that we would welcome any volunteers with a little bit of gardening knowledge to guide us in our growing project this summer.  You don’t need to be fit enough to kneel & dig – we’ll get our hands dirty if you can give us a little advice!  Please contact Mrs King if this is your thing!

PARENTS’ NIGHT

It was lovely to see so many of you last night as we celebrated your child’s achievements over another year.  If you did not manage and would like to speak to your child’s teacher, please contact us and we can arrange something to suit.  We asked all parents to complete a short questionnaire last night.  If you weren’t there, or missed this opportunity, please see the link below.  This will remain open over the weekend.
