Foodbank and Harvest Assembly

We would like to say HUGE big thank you to all families who managed to send in something for our West Lothian Foodbank Appeal.  As always, we were blown away with your generosity and kindness! Your contributions will go a long long way to helping to support local families in West Lothian over the Christmas period.    img_6988

During our Harvest Assembly we discussed how we rely on farmers to harvest fruits and vegetables which they provide to supermarkets.  We watched a clip about the process of harvesting potatoes using a huge combine harvester!  Some children from The Launch Pad came up to tell us all about the apples they had been busy picking this week from our school garden – they told us that they are going to use them to bake an apple crumble…yum!  We can’t wait for a wee taste!

Nursery Halloween Party

The children in Nursery have been busy planning their Halloween party for Monday 31st October and decided they wanted to write their own invitations at Group Time, which they brought home with them yesterday!  They have planned all of the food they would like, the songs they wish to dance to and the party games they would like to play…safe to say…we think that Monday will be exhausting (but very exciting!)

Just a quick reminder that Parents’ Evenings are on Wednesday and Thursday next week from 4pm-6:30pm.  All appointment slips were issued a few weeks ago.  As always, a creche facility will be available in the gym hall on both evenings. We are very much looking forward to discussing your child’s progress with you.
