Sports Day will go ahead today at 1:15pm. We look forward to seeing you.
Reminder about the Uphall Station Gala Day.
We would like our nursery and school to be represented at the Gala Day with children and parent/ carers from our school community. The parade will leave Beechwood Grove at 12:30, with our school group meeting at 12:00pm. Parents and carers should walk with their children during the parade.
The theme is ‘Carnival’ and we encourage everyone taking part in the walk to dress up as much as they would like to.
The races will run from 1pm-4pm in the park, and there is range of opportunities for all our children to take part.
If you would like to join us please remember to return your slip to the school office.
Meet the Teacher (for pupils) and Dine Together:
On Tuesday 19th June at 11:00-12pm we invite all our pre-school pupils to meet their new teacher and class. During this time you are invited to stay for tea and coffee and get to know the other P1 parents. If your child is currently in the morning Nursery we will take them over to their P1 classroom. If they are currently an afternoon child you will have to make arrangements for them to be at school by 11am. Following this you will have the opportunity to sample a school lunch with your child (from 12:00pm-12:30pm). A lunch order form and more information will be given out at the induction evening.

Acting Principal Teacher
We have organised a range of events to ensure a smooth transition for your child into Primary 1. As your child is a currently enrolled as part of our nursery, most of these events will naturally happen and you do not need to make any extra arrangements.
Learning together
For this opportunity the pupils will be spilt into groups depending on whether they are a morning or afternoon child. They will get to experience what learning is like in a P1 environment. They will experience this at three different points over May and June, including a playground session, allowing them to experience the playground.
Assemblies:
Children will have the opportunity to join us with our whole school assemblies at different points during the term.
Buddy Visits:
Their buddy is a P6 child who has been matched with your child to support them during transition and to help them find their way around the school. We have organised for their buddy to visit the nursery three times before the end of this school year.
P1 Induction Evening – Meet the Teacher (for parents):
On Tuesday 5th June at 6pm we would like to invite parents/ carers along to find out about what learning and routines are like in P1. You will also receive all your enrolment and order forms at this time and have a chance to visit the P1 classrooms.
