SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHER – THURSDAY 27TH AUGUST 2015
The school photographer will be in the school on Thursday 27th August 2015. They will be taking individual, class and family photographs. The arrangement will be as follows:
Family photographs
Parents wishing to include children not yet at school should be at the school for 8.30am sharp. The photographer will take these between 8.30am and 9.00am. All other family photographs of siblings at school will be taken later in the day.
Individual/Class Photographs
These will be taken throughout the day for P1 to P7
Please ensure your child is in full school uniform on the day including tie to help ensure the smooth running of our timetable as our schedule is tight.
Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.
P5 Swimming Programme
Primary 5 will be participating in the North Lanarkshire School Swimming Programme commencing on Tuesday 25th August 2015 and running for 12 weeks until Tuesday 10th November 2015 inclusive.
Your child will require swimming clothing, goggles, a towel and £1 for the hire of a locker and also gym kit, including trainers for the dryside activities. It would be advisable for the children to come to school on a Tuesday in sports kit which they can wear for their dryside activity to save any time changing from school uniform when they arrive at the Tryst Sports Centre.
The children will travel to the Sports Centre by bus organised by North Lanarkshire Council accompanied by School staff.
All pupils will have early lunch from 11:30 to allow travel time on the day.
Children will return to school before 3pm.

School reopens to pupils at 9am on Tuesday 18th August 2015!

Primary 4 School Trip
Primary 4 are very excited about our school trip to Edinburgh tomorrow! In the morning we are looking forward to visiting Greyfriars Bobby and in the afternoon we will be going on a spooky tour of Mary King’s Close! We learned lots about these places during our Edinburgh topic and now we cannot wait to visit them in real life!
The forecast is looking good for tomorrow and the sun is expected to be shining so please put on some sun cream before you come to school.
Please remember to bring a packed lunch in a disposable bag so it can be thrown away when you are finished.
Hopefully, there will be an opportunity to visit the gift shop at Mary King’s Close so if you wish to buy something please bring some money – no more than £5.
You can come to school dressed down for the trip. We will be doing a lot of walking so please come wearing some comfortable footwear.
Finally, we are hoping to return to school at 3pm, traffic allowing! However, if we expect to be late we will contact the school as soon as we can and parents will receive a text message with an approximate return time.
Check out our class blogs throughout the day tomorrow! We hope to keep you updated with our visit to Edinburgh and uploading lots of pictures!
Annie Tickets!
