Our Annual Christmas Fair will be held in the school on Sunday 24^th November, 2 – 4pm.  As in previous years, we really value your help in baking for the event and volunteering on the day.  Without your support it would be very difficult to go ahead with fundraising events like these, which bring our School community together.

If you are a consultant for a company, or a small business owner, and would like to host a stall, please contact Mr Manson at the school.  We do ask all stall holders to donate a raffle prize.  We will gratefully accept any other raffle prizes from parents and families.

When baking, please make sure to remember that we are a peanut and pineapple free school.

A reminder that the Learner Led Event is tomorrow from 3.15pm – 4.45pm.

This is a chance for your child to share their learning with you. They will be able to talk you through their learning and share some of the work they have done and how they feel about it.

Please feel free to come along anytime between 1515-1645.  During your visit you will hopefully have time for your child to show you their work, introduce their teacher(s) and show you around their classroom.  Class teachers will be in their classrooms so this will be an opportunity to meet them.

Representatives from the following agencies will be available at this time in our social area.  This will provide you with an opportunity to find out more about the work they do and how this can be of benefit to you and your families;

• Active Schools
• Skills Development Scotland
• Shetland Library (in school library, not social area)
