Well done to Lianna, Lucy K and Neive for reaching the shortlist of the Airdrie and Coatbridge Advertiser Story Stars competition! 3 out of the 10 finalists from one school! Quite an achievement.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to the Loch Awe open afternoon. A great time was had by all and the children learned so much from listening to all the stories.

Primary 1/2 had a great day baking some delicious muffins and flapjack using some of the apples they had been learning about.  They had also been learning about ‘entertaining’ and so decided to share their treats with their Primary 6 & 7 buddies.  They did a super job of setting and decorating tables, as well as serving the food and clearing up at the end!

A reminder that parents will be offering Christmas items for sale to pupils on the afternoon of Friday 2nd December. Some people have pre-ordered, but pupils will be able to shop for items on the day.

Christmas dinner will be served on Wednesday 7th December. If you pay for your child’s lunch, please ensure that sufficient money is on your child’s card by Monday 5th December. This will avoid long queues and allow staff to debit the cost in the morning before service. Please note that there will be no tuck shop on Wednesday morning.

Loch Awe class will be showcasing what they have learned about the 1960s on Monday 5th December 2-3pm. Parents and carers of Loch Awe pupils are most welcome to come along.

The whole school will be visiting the Townhouse in Hamilton to see Cinderella on Tuesday 6th December. Please ensure pupils are in school on time as we will be leaving as soon as the bus arrives.

Pupils who would like a school lunch should order a packed lunch in the morning and this will be eaten on return (around 1pm). No one should arrange to go home for lunch on Tuesday.

Pupils should wear their school uniform and are permitted to bring a sensibly sized snack and/or drink. Ice cream will be provided for the interval. No money is required and pupils will not be permitted to buy anything at the venue.

We are looking forward to the first main event of the Christmas season!
