Only a few more days until primary 7 are on their way to Kilbowie and the excitement is mounting! While the children are away we intend to keep primary 7 parents up to date with all their activities using Twitter and our new app Groupcall Xpressions. If you’re not already registered please consider doing so as this will be our only means of communication. We know all the children are looking forward to their trip!
If your child is not attending Kilbowie please remember they are still expected to attend school next week.
The time has come for our primary 7 transition visits which start tomorrow. All primary 7 children will leave the school at 9.15am to go to Cumbernauld Academy. They will be there until lunchtime so should bring a snack and a drink. All children should bring their PE kit as they will receive their timetable when they arrive and may have PE. Children will arrive back at Whitelees at approximately 12.30pm and will have an extended lunch. ALL primary 7 children will be attending the Cumbernauld Academy transition visits. This will be the case for Thursday 8th, 15th and 22nd December.
Young Scot cards are due back tomorrow (Friday). We are still waiting for 15 applications to be returned.
Young Scot cards are required for high school as this is what the children will use as their dinner card so without this children will be unable to attend school dinners.
These are required to be sent to North Lanarkshire Council at the end of the day on Friday so please remember to return any outstanding forms tomorrow.
Primary 6/7 and Primary 7 are holding a World War ll coffee afternoon on Wednesday 12th October 2016 at 1.30pm. The children made their own invitations which were sent home last week however, just in case yours hasn’t made it’s way to you yet this is your invitation to come along and join in. You can see all the wonderful work the children have been doing on World War ll and buy some tea/coffee and cakes!
All primary 6/7 and primary 7 parents/Grandparents/Aunts/Uncles are welcome to come and join the fun.
Last week’s visit to Whitelees by Ian and his Mobile Military Museum had an extra edge as our pupils were filmed to appear on Forces TV!
Army veteran Ian Inglis has taken an interest in the World Wars and forces memorabilia and turned it into an educational experience for our P6 & 7 pupils to enjoy as part of their WWII studies.
