P.E Kit & P.E. Days

Thank you for your support with school uniform and our new approach to P.E. kit.
This is just a reminder of what children should wear on P.E. days as some children have returned this term unfortunately not wearing P.E. kit.
We would request that on P.E. days children wear to school:
  • white polo shirt/ t-shirt – with school logo or plain
  • blue sweatshirt/cardigan – with school logo or plain
  • P7 – black sweatshirt/cardigan
  • plain black tracksuit bottoms/ joggers
  • black trainers
  • girls who are wearing a skirt over their leggings can remove their skirt on P.E. days
  • we would recommend that they don’t wear their shirt and tie on their P.E. days
In order to continue with our inclusive ethos and promoting our school identity we would request that children don’t wear branded clothing. We also have nearly new school polo shirts and sweatshirts that can be purchased for a small donation.
We would request that on non P.E. days children wear their normal school uniform.
Term 2 P.E. Days (same as last term):
  • Primary 1 – Mon/Wed
  • Primary 2/1 – Mon/Thurs
  • Primary 3/2 – Tues/ Fri
  • Primary 4/3 – Mon/ Tues
  • Primary 4 – Mon/Wed
  • Primary 5 – Tues/Wed
  • Primary 6 – Mon/Wed
  • Primary 7 – Mon/Wed

Thank you for your support with this.

We are also aware that children may have limited access to Halloween celebrations outside of school. With this in mind, we have organised an ‘in class’ Halloween fundraiser, please find information attached.
Our Parent Partner organisation are also preparing some fun Halloween fundraisers to do at home – watch this space!

End of Term 1

It has been fantastic welcoming all our children back and we have had a settled, calm and fun start to the new school year. As we approach the end of term 1, I wanted to express my thanks to you for supporting us to ensure our return to school was safe. Thank you for your patience as we refined routines in line with changing and updated guidance.
Just a reminder that the school is now closed until Wednesday 21st October for the October holidays. We will continue to offer take away school lunches to those who are entitled to free school schools between 12:00-1:30pm each day (Monday-Friday) from the dinner hall. If your child is making use of this service please ensue their rubbish goes in the bin and isn’t left lying on the school grounds. The main school office will be closed, meaning there is no access to our main school phone number or email.
Our nursery is open during the October holidays as normal. Please phone 01506 280997 to report an absence or in an emergency. If your child is absent, please phone between 8:00-9:00am. If your child is going to be absent in the afternoon please phone between 1:15-2:00pm. (The previous issue with the phone has now been resolved).
I hope the sun keeps shinning like it is today and you manage to enjoy the October holidays.
Kind regards,
Miss Burton

P1-7 Passwords for Home Learning Tasks (Homework)

As we are currently not using homework diaries your child will come home this week with a laminated sheet with the log in and passwords they require to access different online platforms.
For Primary 1-7 this will include Sumdog login.
Primary 4-7 will receive their glow username. Due to regulations we are not able to share their glow password, children should know their password. If at anytime they need it reset they can ask their teacher or you can request it through the office email.
Primary 5-7 will also have their Didbook log in.
If your child is in Primary 1-3 and you have returned the See Saw permission form they will receive instructions explaining how to sign up this week. If you have not returned the permission slip can you please do this as soon as possible so that we can issue you with a log in.
Please ensure they keep these log ins in a safe place at home, they also have a copy at school.
Home learning choice boards (homework) will resume after October Break. Primary 1-3 will share their learning via Seesaw and Primary 4-7 children will share their tasks via their class team. More information about this will follow in the new term.
