wish.\u00a0 However, as we are still being mindful of current risk assessments, there are a few conditions we must work together to enforce:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pupils <strong>WILL NOT be allowed home at lunchtime<\/strong> to change.\u00a0 Pupils should come to school\/nursery in the morning wearing their costume.<\/li>\n<li>In light of this, please remember that <strong>pupils will be outdoors wearing their costume throughout the day<\/strong> and it will probably get dirty.<\/li>\n<li>Pupils should also be <strong>able to go to the toilet in their costume independently<\/strong>.\u00a0 Staff in school continue to keep a 2 metre distance from pupils wherever possible.\u00a0 Please check your child can manage their costume themselves.\u00a0 We realise you may need to simplify their costume for this.<\/li>\n<li>Please<strong> do not send in accessories<\/strong> (broomsticks, pumpkins, swords, etc).\u00a0 We are still advised to bring only essential items from home, so the amount of extra &#8216;bits&#8217; should be kept to an absolute minimum.<\/li>\n<li>We will not be able to have our usual Hallowe&#8217;en parade as a whole school and there will be no prizes (as we know costumes will be simplified), but we can still enjoy <strong>dressing up in each class just for fun<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><strong>HOUSE CAPTAINS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>We are looking forward to hearing some of our P.7 pupils make their campaign speeches next week when they put themselves forward as House Captains.\u00a0 Anyone in Primary 7 who wants to can make their speech to the whole school using a Teams Video Call and every pupil will have the chance to vote for their own House leaders.\u00a0 We will bring you the results
