Mrs N’s Notes, 19.4.24
Week 2 menus coming up. Please remember, if you pay for your child’s meals, that the cost of a school lunch has now increased to £3.25. All payments should be added to your child’s card BEFORE they come for lunch or breakfast.
SPRING CLEAN 2024
Last year at this time we organised our own local MARCH FOR CHANGE, reminding the local community that we are here and we want to make Kirkshaws a clean and safe place to live, work and play. It was so successful, we featured in the national press!
This year the environmental charity, Keep Scotland Beautiful, has declared a litter emergency and we’re aiming to help by supporting their 2024 Spring Clean. By taking small actions such as organising or participating in a litter pick, we know we can make a difference.
Next week each class will head out for a short time to collect litter in our local parks and green-spaces.
If you can spare an hour or so to join us one afternoon next week, please contact the school office or your child’s teacher to volunteer.
Our nursery pupils will be taking part throughout the whole week, during their planned local environment walks. They do not require any additional adult helpers.
All children will be expected to take part. If, for any reason, your child cannot join their class and go out for a walk at this time, please notify your child’s teacher and we will ensure they can work safely in school until their classmates return.
URGENT POLY TUNNEL APPEAL
We are delighted that crops have started growing in our new Poly Tunnel, however we need the guidance of a keen gardener to keep us on track. If you enjoy pottering about with plants, could you possibly spend an hour or so pointing us in the right direction?
Obviously, if you want to get your hands dirty and grab a trowel, we will welcome you with open arms, but we realise people are very busy, so we’d be happy with even a short visit to advise us of our next steps.
Any help, no matter how small would be most welcomed.
