A gentle reminder that trip money (£2) and a slip confirming lunches is to be in no later than Thursday of this week. Thank you for all of the help offered for our trip to Stirling Castle, we were overwhelmed with your generosity.

Thursday afternoon also sees a presentation from Mrs Davidson and Mr Collins about the launch of Primary 2 book bags from Book Week Scotland. After the presentation there is an opportunity to come into the classroom to explore the books and activities within the bags with your child. Please do not worry if you are unable to make this event, I will be there to support and read with all children and the book bags will be sent home for you to enjoy together.

Thanks
