Children In Need Day

Thank you very much to everyone who supported our charity event.  Pupils looked amazing in their spotty clothes and enjoyed the Pudsey activities and guessing the number of spots on the cake.  Brooke in P5 was our winner, taking home the spotty cake donated by Lorna Paterson.  The school have raised £152.70 for Children In Need.dsc02144 dsc02145 dsc02138 dsc02139 dsc02140 dsc02141 dsc02142 dsc02134 dsc02136 dsc02123 dsc02120 dsc02118

Karate Taster Club

LKA Tigers are using the school premises to run an introductory/taster club on Fridays after school. This club is open to all pupils in P1-7 and will cost £20 for the four week course which will run until 16th December. For those who wish to continue,  the long-term classes are held in Airdrie Leisure Centre.  For more information, please see the enrolment form, accessed through the link below. Paper forms are also available from the school office.

Please note that money should be paid to LKA Tigers and not the school.

Community Learning & Development within Plains Primary School  

parental-engagement

One of the main aims of CLD is to provide opportunites for parents to be involved in learning with their children. To date most of these opportunities have been during the school day. This is something I am aware of, so in addition to the exciting FM Reading Challenge opportunites next term Mrs Matthews and I will look at the parents’ responses from some of the other CLD work which has been offered and from this we will decide on an evening opportunity for parents to come along and join their children in learning. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
