Friday Parent Craft Club – all welcome
Tomorrow at craft club we are trying our hands at decoupage under the expert tuition of Danielle. It’s a great way of upcycling picture frames, boxes and other things. Please come along between 10:30 and 12:25 if you would like to give it a try and have a good chat at the same time. Coffee, tea, cake and juice to be had and there are crafts and toys for younger children.
Thanks, Sarah-jane
Support with School Uniform
As a school we are provided with a small fund of money each session to support parents in cases where buying essential clothing for school is a financial hardship.
We appreciate that it is not always easy to ask for help, however if you are struggling to provide school uniform, shoes or other essential parts of school clothing we may be in a position to help towards part of the cost.
Please be aware that it is a small amount of money we have and can only help in extreme cases.  Where necessary we would purchase the items on your behalf, we are not able to distribute funds directly.  Please do get in touch with Mr Eagleson or Miss Morrison if you need to discuss this.

Scottish Government Survey on Early Learning and Childcare
Copied from email:
As you’ll be aware the Scottish Government is planning to nearly double the hours of free early learning and childcare by 2020. Because the views of parents and carers are crucial for the success of this expansion, the Government has commissioned independent researchers to undertake a survey of parents. It is now asking for your help in sharing the survey link (www.bit.ly/elc-survey) with as many parents of 0-5 year old children in your community as possible.
All parents taking part will have the opportunity to be entered into a prize draw and have the chance to win one of 10 x GBP100 cash prizes.
The survey is carried out for the Scottish Government by Craigforth, an independent research company. If you have any questions about this survey please send a message to: survey@craigforth.co.uk
P6 Weekly Blog
We talked about the rules we should follow in the class and around the school. We picked the most important rules for the Class Charter. We decorated hands for the charter then we shook hands with Mrs Campbell and Miss Young to bind us to the contract. Then we linked our rights to the class charter. 
Primary 2
Primary 2 have worked very hard creating their class charter!
We chose rights that we felt were important to our class:
* the right to be ourselves
* the right to say what we think and be listened to
* the right to show what we are good at.
We talked about what we might do in school to ensure these rights are followed. Finally, we ‘signed’ our charter with our own stars.
This is our charter:
Check in with us next week to see what we are learning!
Until then…
Primary 2 & Miss M 🙂
