Mid Term Newsletter
Dear Parents/Carers,
VISIT TO CARFIN – Thursday 27th September
As Saturday is the Feast of St. Michael, the whole school will visit Carfin Shrine on Thursday, where we will celebrate Mass, visit the grounds and share a picnic together. All pupils should wear full school uniform. Please see previous e-mail should you require a lunch supplied by the school.
If you are able to help please indicate on the permission slip or via your child’s diary. If you haven’t already done so please return your child’s permission slip.
SPONSORED ASSAULT COURSE – Friday 28th September
To continue our celebrations on Friday we will hold our Annual Sponsored Assault Course. All pupils may attend school wearing school P.E. kit with sportswear. No football colours please.
Please send in your child with a water bottle. Any sponsor money can be sent in over the course of this week, one sheet per family.
STAFF CAR PARK
We would ask in the interest of health and safety that parents do not use the staff car park to drop off or pick up, particularly more so at present due to the renovation work that is being carried out in the school.
PARENTS NIGHT
Please see the previous e-mail regarding selecting an appointment time for your child. Unfortunately due to renovation work parents will not be able to visit their child’s classroom at this time. There will be an opportunity to do so later in the year when the rewiring is fully completed.

We Are Individuals
Primary 5 created their very own unique poster to describe themselves as part of their Health and Well Being topic. They discussed and celebrated their individuality.
Information Evening
This week, we held an information evening for the Parents/Carers of our Infant children. It was a great success. Thanks to all who came along to hear about what the children learn and how they learn in class.
Showing Gratitude
Primary 4 are learning to sow ‘Gratitude’. Just a simple thank you and explaining reasons behind your gratitude.
“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”
