Blackburn Gala Day – Saturday 9th June
Come along and join the fun on Saturday.
All pupils and parents are welcome to come along and join Murrayfield parent council members and staff as they walk around the village as part of the procession, which takes place straight after the crowning ceremony. Look out for our Super Mario themed school float which is currently under construction…we are hoping to scoop 1st prize again! As usual there will be spaces available for nursery children and their parents (these spaces will be given on a first come basis)
The school have chosen to go with the theme Super Mario (easy costume idea – dungarees/jeans, brightly coloured t-shirt, pretend moustache) but you are welcome to come along as another cartoon character or approprate gaming character.
We are looking forward to seeing you on Saturday.

Murrayfield’s Gala Float – Blackburn Gala Day
The Parent Council have made a great start to our float decorations and we now have several drawings ready to be painted. The hub will be available to use after school from 3.20pm on Tuesday 29th and Wednesday 30th to set up and paint these items, alternatively if you have paints at home and would like to come and collect one of these drawings and take it away to paint at home then this can be arranged. These drawings are on card which are approximately 1m x 50cm – 1m x 1m in size so can easily be carried or fit into a car. If you are available to come into school on either Tuesday or Wednesday please contact the school office to let them know. Likewise if you would like to take a drawing away, please speak to the school office or Mrs Waugh to arrange this.
We are hoping to get 1st prize again this year so all help is much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Mrs Waugh
Outdoor Learning – Access to Playgrounds
Outdoor learning is a part of our curriculum and during the school day we may be using the surrounding playgrounds as an outdoor learning space. We require these areas to remain available to allow for outdoor learning to take place at any time and for health and safety reasons we cannot permit parents/ carers into the playground until the end of the school day. Please do not open gate/ enter the playground until after 3.15pm.
Thank you for your support
