P4M Learning Profiles
The majority of P4M’s learning profiles have been emailed to you. The rest will be emailed when I receive an email address or I will send a paper copy home if you prefer.
I would really appreciate any feedback or comments on your child’s profile as well as confirmation that you have received the profile.
Kind regards,
Miss McDowall

- sunglasses
- Santa hat
- reindeer antlers
- red nose
- ‘See you Jimmy’ hat

If you have more than one of these and would be happy for someone to borrow, that would be great. Thank you!
ParentPay Permission
Thank you to everyone who has already ticked the permission box in ParentPay for our visit to the Cornerstone. Apologies again about the trouble but because we cannot see what you see it makes it difficult to explain.
However, as all P4 parents have now activated their account and the trip has been set up you should now be able to give permission. In ParentPay you should see a box for ‘Other Items‘. If you click on this you should see an option for the Cornerstone visit which is what should be clicked on.
Thank you in advance.

We will be leaving the school at 12.30pm to arrive at the Cornerstone at 12.45pm. If your child is a home lunch we would appreciate if you could drop them at the Cornerstone when they have finished their lunch.
Thank you in advance.
Christmas Choir to perform at school Christmas Fair
We have enough children who have returned forms to enable us to go ahead and perform at the School Fair on Saturday. We have our final rehearsal tomorrow (Wednesday) at lunch time – 12.15 in Miss Mackay’s classroom. It would be good if you bring a packed lunch. On Saturday, we will be performing at 2 o’clock for about 20 minutes on the stage. We will meet at 1.55pm in the P7 cloakroom near the stage.
Hope to see you all tomorrow. Miss Mackay and Miss Cuthill
