Thank you to all of the parents/carers who have volunteered to come in to talk to the pupils about their job and their skills. I am still trying to contact a few people to book their visit for the week (30th March to 2nd April). Apologies if I have not managed to speak to you yet but I will continue to leaves messages and/or email.

Thank you,

Miss McDowall, Principal Teacher

Spelling Information Evening 6.30-7.30pm, Tuesday 18th February

A reminder about our Spelling Information Evening 6.30-7.30pm on Tuesday 18th February.

As you know, we changed our spelling programme at the start of the session and are now well underway with positive results. We would like to invite you to an information evening to further share how the programme works and what the children are experiencing in class. This will be a good opportunity for you to find out how to reinforce the strategies used in school at home.

If you are able to make the information evening, please complete the slip in your child’s bag (oldest child only).

Kind regards,

Karen McDowall, Principal Teacher

Thank you for your support.

Christmas Lunch Orders

A letter was issued today for your child to choose their Christmas lunch option. We would appreciate if you could complete this slip and return it no later than Wednesday 27 November.

The cost of the lunch is £2.25 for P4-7 pupils and free for P1-3 pupils. Payment is made through Parentpay so if you have not activated your account, please do so as soon as possible.

The options are:

  1. Turkey with trimmings
  2. Steak pie with trimmings
  3. Quorn roast with trimmings (vegetarian option)

All options come with ice cream and milk or water.

If your child’s teacher does not receive a completed form, they will assume they are a packed lunch.

Thank you in advance.
