As we have had applications for the free Olympics tickets from families which exceed the number of tickets available, a draw will be held in school at the end of the RRSA Day of Change Assembly (9.00 a.m.) on Monday 11 June. Thanks to everyone who applied and, if that is you, we hope you are one of the lucky ones whose name comes out in the draw.
As part of the London 2012 Get Set Network, Stoneyburn Primary School has been given a batch of free tickets for the Women’s Football quarter-final tie to be played at Hampden Park, Glasgow on Friday, 03 August at 12 noon. As this event is during the school Summer Break and, after staff consultation, we have decided that we should gauge interest from families and, if there is sufficient interest, we would hold a ballot for the tickets. If there isn’t sufficient interest, we will have to send the entire batch of tickets back again to allow other people the chance to take them up. A letter will be going out tomorrow to all families asking if they would like to be considered for some of the tickets and, consequently, entered into the ballot. Please only submit a request if you wish to go to this Olympic event and do intend attending, as the school will be held responsible for non-attendance and it would not look good for us if we had accepted the tickests and then not bothered to turn up. If a ballot is to be held, it will take place on Monday, 11 June at the end of the Rights Respecting School Day of Action Assembly.
Just a reminder, school is open tomorrow (Monday, 04 June) as normal, but will be closed for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Holiday on Tuesday, 05 June.
Health Week got off to a great start today with some excellent weather and a football tournament. One unexpected extra event took place – a Primary 7 V Staff Football match in which the P7s got gubbed good! We also had Primary 3 leading a whole school aerobics session, which was out of this world. If you’d like to see a video of P3’s aerobic session, click the link below. If you want to see a video of the P7 V Staff match – well, there isn’t enough money in the world …
Next week is Health Week in Stoneyburn Primary School and information on activities has already been issued. Here is a quick-reference pictorial activity chart on what is happening each day:

As intimated on Newsletter, Blog and by word of mouth, if left property is not claimed by tomorrow, 25 June @ 12.20 p.m., it will be disposed of. The children will be given one more chance to reclaim their lost belongings tomorrow morning before Golden Time, but to make you aware of the problems we face in this area, here are pictures of the left property that has not yet been claimed, despite parading the children past it and asking them to take what is theirs:
Ten pairs of trousers, three pairs of shorts, two lunch-boxes and two hats – none with names on!
Six outdoor jackets, seven t-shirts, five jerseys/sweatshirts, none of which have names on!
Fifteen pairs of shoes and eighteen odd shoes.
… and four items that have either names written on them or have something inside them that lets us know who belongs to them!
If you know whose items these are, we’d be grateful if you would alert them to the deadline for disposal.

Parents of current Primary 6 children, who are interested in participating on next year’s Primary 7 school camp at Barcaple Outdoor Centre, are invited to a parents’ Information Evening, to be held in Stoneyburn Primary School on Tuesday, 22 May @ 5.30 p.m. At this meeting, the Barcaple Centre manager will give a presentation on the centre, its activities and be available to answer any questions parents may have. We look forward to seeing as many current P6 parents at the meeting as possible
One of the regular features in our newsletters is the Health and Wellbeing Section. In this section, there is information on what to do if your child comes into contact with infectious diseases, or if parent or emergency contact information changes (buying a new mobile phone with a different number, for example). We also ask you to check your children’s heads regularly for headlice. The following two links give advice and recommend the action you should take if you find your child has headlice.
These rather fine models are the result of a homework challenge issued to Primary 5/4 pupils. The children had to work with a family member or carer to design and make an Olympic Mascot from junk materials. As you can see, the results are nothing short of spectacular. Thanks to all children who took part and a special ‘Thank you’ to all the family members and carers who got involved in the challenge. ‘Good Job!’
