Loch Awe enjoyed their visit to Summerlee to learn about the Swinging Sixties!

A great day learning about the swinging sixties 

Please look out for an order form for calendars and Christmas Cards. These will be issued tomorrow and must be returned with full payment by Thursday morning. Apologies for the short turn around on this one.

UPDATE-In order to be able to take your child’s photo and pass it to third parties, we MUST HAVE your order by Thursday morning. However, given the very short turn around, payment may be deferred until next week. If you would prefer to pay next week, please mark your order PAYMENT TO FOLLOW NEXT WEEK. I hope this helps and encourages everyone who would like a calendar/cards to place their order tomorrow.

Poppies are now on sale in school. Minimum donation is 20p.

URGENT- HELPERS REQUIRED
As some of you may know, the school has been working with Gordon White from the Plains Allotments on various projects over the years. This year we hoped to install a workshop at the allotments which would allow our pupils to carry out a range of practical and technical tasks.
Gordon has applied for grants on our behalf but has now managed to secure a donation of a portacabin ideal for conversion. It is being delivered very soon.
As a result, we urgently require volunteers to help clear the site at the allotments. If you are free between 12pm and 4pm on Saturday 29th October, please go along to the allotments and offer your labour. Please note that adults not children are required to help.
Your help will be very much appreciated! Tea and coffee will be served.

Thank you to everyone who attended the harvest assembly today or donated to our harvest collection.

Well done to the 10 pupils who ran in today’s Cross Country Festival at Coatbridge Outdoor Centre. Great effort from all of them and very good behaviour. Also a big thanks to coaches Gillian McCardie and Graeme Paterson and parent supporter Lesley Kelly!

The pupils in Loch Awe were cooking with apples collected from the community and schools allotment. They made apple crumble, apple sauce and apple chutney. The crumble was delicious and the chutney and sauce will be available at the Christmas shows.
