Dear Parent/Carer

I am aware that not every parent is able to access information via the Parent Council Facebook page and would like to share information regarding the cost of the panto and how it is calculated. The total cost of the tickets and the cost of the bus are added together then any contribution from the parent council is deducted and the balance divided by the number of children. There is no VAT added to the cost of the ticket and no VAT charged by the bus company.

I hope this information is helpful. Should you require any further information please contact me.

Regards

Mrs Burns

Parental Information Meeting for First Communions – Reminder

Father Sebastian is holding an information evening for all who are due to make their First Holy Communion in the spring. This meeting will take place tomorrow, Thursday 8th November, at 7pm in St Anthony’s RC Church, Armadale.

Good Neighbours

We have had several calls from local residents asking us to ask our parents to be more thoughtful and considerate to our neighbours.

Please do not block access to driveways or garages, try to keep noise down and perhaps walk a little further to avoid congestion in the streets closer to the school. Take advantage of the renewed footpaths/cycle paths which provide a safe route to the school when dropping off and collecting your children.

The Scottish Sun Book Bus

The Scottish Sun Book Bus was at our school on Friday to promote reading. Photos were in Saturdays Scottish Sun. Did you pick up your copy ?

Primary 2 and Clicker

We have been exploring how we can use Clicker for our Literacy tasks. Clicker Art lets us draw pictures. Clicker word processor “talks” what we type and prediction helps us to write sentences!

Poggle

Poggle is the story of Vince, who wants to explore the forest but is too scared, until one day he meets Poggle, a friendly creature. Together they go on an adventure through the forest where they discover the magical musical tree. A warm hearted, sensory dance theatre piece with live music, clapping rhythms and comedy throughout in an imaginatively changing world that the children have the chance to explore.
