As you will be aware we are fortunate to have  a partnership with staff from Barnardos.

The staff from Barnardos have a Coffee Morning in the school every Wednesday from 9 a.m. till 10.30 a.m.  Pre-school children are welcome to attend.  All Parents and Carers are welcome to come in and have a blether after the busy school run.

The Barnardos staff also have a Stay and Play Session  on a Friday morning between 9 a.m and 10.30 a.m.   The toddler group is open to all under 3’s and their parents and carers.

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at either or both of these sessions.

Many thanks

Mrs. Karen Greechan

Here are just some of the things that have been happening this week in St Michael’s!

On 31st October our canteen will be serving a ‘Halloween themed menu’.

We are participating in the Scottish School Meals week and will deliver a themed menu on 1st – 3rd November.  The changes to the menu are as follows:

Wednesday 1st November  – Meat Free Day – Lentil soup, quorn tikka and rice or cheese & tomato pizza, swiss roll and custard plus any drink for £2

Thursday 2nd November – Hot Dog Meal Deal – Soup, hot dog or tomato pasta,dessert and drink £2

Wednesday 3rd November – Favourite Friday – Soup, choice of school’s popular dishes, choice of dessert and drink £2

Today is our Annual Halloween Parade which will begin at 1.15pm in the school hall.  Our theme will be based on the book ‘Room on the Broom’ by Julia Donaldson.  Our Nursery Class and Primaries 1-3 will each perform on stage as the story is being read with a few more surprises.  Our morning nursery children are invited to return in the afternoon for the performance.

Children are permitted to go home to change at 12pm if picked up by their parent, alternatively they may bring their clothes in and will be assisted in getting changed after lunch.

We will be holding a raffle during the performance and any donations of raffle prizes would be appreciated.

Doors will open at 1.10pm (to allow the hall to be cleared).  Families are welcome however, we are unable due to health and safety, to accommodate buggies in the entrance, Primary 7 pupils will be available to take your buggy from you and put them in the project hall until after the performance.

We look forward to seeing you.

Many thanks to the Parent Council for a fantastic Halloween Disco last night!  The children had a spooktacular time!!  The costumes were fantastic!

The photographers will be in the school on Thursday 9th November 2017.

As has been the practice for several years they will only be taking photographs of Primary 1, Primary 7 and Nursery children at this time.

You may also have the opportunity to have your children photographed either individually or as a family. Please reply by Monday 6^th November 2017.  If you do not select one of the options via the email link then we will assume that you do not require the photograph to be taken.

The photographers will be ready to start at 8.30 a.m.  This will enable parents with children in the nursery to bring them in before they start, if they wish.  Children who attend the nursery in the afternoon will also have an opportunity to have their photographs done from 1 p.m.   Children wearing glasses are asked to move them further down their nose than normal to prevent the flash showing in the photograph.  Should you decide that you would prefer them to remove their glasses please tell your child to do so on the day.
