It has been a busy few weeks here at Whitelees and it continues to be in the run up to the Christmas holiday.
Our Christmas show is next week and we would be grateful for any raffle prizes you could donate. If you could hand any prizes into our office or send them into school with your children we would be extremely grateful.
Once again we thank you for your continued support.
Our Waste Council are again collecting used stamps this December for the RNIB (Royal National Institute for the Blind). The used stamps are sold to raise money for the condition Macular Degeneration which affects the eyesight of many elderly people.
We would be grateful for your donations of used stamps. Please send them into school with your child.
We had 3 “It’s Good To Be Me” pupils. Baighley and Daniel brought in their medals from the Taekwondo Scottish Championships and Mackenzie brought in her dancing trophy! Well done to you all, great achievements!
We have our Successful Learners and weekly class Dojo winners and of course our Birthdays!
Well done to all our winners and Happy Birthday to our Birthdays of the week!
Show week is nearly upon us and rehearsals are in full swing! Tickets are selling well, thank you for your continued support.
We have a few changes to our daily routine for show week as follows:
Monday/Tuesday – break will be 10.00am – 10.15am and lunch will be 11.45am – 12.30pm to allow a half hour turnaround for the start of the show at 1.00pm.
Thursday – our daily routine will remain the same. Children should return to school for 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start, no uniform required.
Children should come to school for the pantomime on Thursday in school uniform. Buses are leaving at 9.15am so it is important that children are on time. They should bring a snack and a drink to take to the pantomime and will have lunch on their return to school.
As explained in the Christmas Events letter, due to the late return from the pantomime the dinner hall can only offer sandwiches for lunch on Thursday. In order for these to be prepared your child should order their lunch tomorrow (Wednesday) for Thursday. Your child can of course bring a packed lunch if they don’t want to order a school lunch. All Primary 1’s – 3’s will order a school lunch as will everyone entitled to a free school meal however, if your child really doesn’t want a school lunch they can of course bring a packed lunch. Please ensure your child knows if they are bringing a packed lunch or are ordering a school lunch.
We have our weekly class Dojo winners and our “It’s Good To Be Me” pupils of the week are Hannah and Millie with their medal for Cheerleading, well done everyone!
We also had quite a few Birthdays, congratulations to everyone who had a Birthday over the last two weeks!
Remember our Christmas Fayre tomorrow from 10.00am until 12.00pm. Santa will be here and there will be lots of amazing crafts made by the children for sale! Not to mention our fabulous raffle and tombola amongst other stalls! Come along and join in the festive fun!
