School has now closed for the summer. Thank you for all your support this session. We will see all the pupils back on Tuesday 23 August.
Have a good summer.
Steven Eagleson.
Medication in school
All medication currently held in school must be collected from the office – by an adult – by tomorrow afternoon. Any remaining medication will be disposed of according to NHS guidelines.
Lunchtime on the field
Today the P5, P6 and P7 pupils had the choice to spend lunchtime on the field. Â They had great fun with all the extra space. Â They played football without getting in the way of others. Â They climbed the bank and played among the trees (and nettles!) and they climbed trees – safely. Â Mr Eagleson worked with the groups to chat about the dangers and how to keep themselves safe and we will continue these conversations as the good weather continues.
You can support us at home by discussing with your children how to keep safe by judging and managing risk. Â We reinforce that they should be in sight of an adult, never try to flip or “acrobat” jump down a hill. Only climb into trees as high as your shoulder is off the ground. Â We have established a border with the tree line at the top of the bank.
The Jungle Book
Tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday) pupils will enjoy a stage production of ‘The Jungle Book’ in the school hall. Â This is a chance for pupils to be an audience and enjoy a theatre production. Â It is not a pupil production for parental attendance. We hope they all enjoy it – there is no charge for this – we will pay the cost from School Fund.
Parent Council
Thank you to those that came along to our parent council meet last night. We had 5 parents turn out along with Miss Morrison and myself. Â We discussed what a Parent Council is for and what we could do to engage with more parents.
The Parent Council will be taking some of their ideas forward over the next weeks so please, look out for this information and consider how you can contribute to your child’s schooling.
Footballs should not be brought from home.
The letter below was emailed home today. Â If you do not receive emails – a copy was put into your child’s schoolbag.
Parent Council – Informal wine and chat evening
We hope to see you along this evening for our informal wine and chat evening – 6:30 – 7:30. Â We hope to discuss what you want from your Parent council and how you can help. Â See you there.
Steven Eagleson – Headteacher and Lauren Potter – Chair
Summer Weather
Be aware that we will be making the most of this weather to move learning outside as appropriate. Children may need hats, suncream, etc.  Where you feel it is appropriate put suncream in your child’s bag – staff will not apply the cream for the children but will support the pupil’s independent application where necessary.

SPORTS DAY PREDICTION
Weather for today (Thursday) is looking to be damp and wet which will affect the condition of the grass. Â However Friday morning weather is looking to be fairly dry and mild with a slight chance of shower. Â I will assess the condition of the grass on the field after school today and make a decision about going ahead or postponing tomorrow’s sports day. Â I will inform you all by groupcall email.
