What a quick week it has been!\u00a0 There’s been lots going on in our classes, remember to have a look at your child’s class post to hear more about their learning across the week! Thank you to the P1 parents\/carers who joined us for our Literacy learning session on Monday, it was well attended and hopefully everyone found it useful.\u00a0 Some of our P7 pupils took part in the West Lothian Cross Country event held at Dechmont Law on Thursday, well done to everyone who took part.\u00a0 Today we were joined in school by staff from NHS Lothian who administered flu vaccinations.\u00a0 Children should have a leaflet and vaccination slip in their school bag today.<\/p>\n
False Nails and School Safety – To help keep all pupils safe, we ask that children do not wear long false nails, acrylic nails, or nail extensions to school. These can cause accidental injuries during play and learning activities, may break and cause harm, and can make participation in some school activities more difficult. Thank you for your support in maintaining a safe environment for all pupils.<\/p>\n
Morning arrangements – please see email sent yesterday about arrangements for children during periods of inclement weather.<\/p>\n
