Rag Bags

As part of our ongoing work towards maintaining our ECO status, your child has received a Rag Bag.  As you will be aware, this initiative has been developed to raise awareness of textile recycling. By participating you are helping the environment and supporting West Lothian Council to meet recycling targets as well as raising funds for our school.

We are looking for wearable clothes, paired shoes, handbags and belts. Please return your Rag Bag to school by Monday 6th March.  If you have lots, we will gratefully receive them in black bags too.  If your child cannot manage in with them themselves, please drop at the office, thank you!  More information can be found here:  http://www.rag-bag.co.uk/

World Book Day

This year World Book Day falls on Thursday the 2nd of March, but in school we will be celebrating on Friday 3rd of March where we will invite all children to dress up as a character from one of their favourite books.  You can find lots of ideas at the following website:  http://www.worldbookday.com/

Our Assembly team are busy working on a very exciting Assembly for Friday too and will be going around school this week filming staff and children telling us what their favourite books are.  They will then make this into a short movie that will be shared with the children at Assembly.

As part of World Book Day, the children have requested that we do a book swap again.  We would like to ask everyone to send in a book from home that they are finished reading and that they wouldn’t mind swapping with someone else in school.  Books should be in very good condition.  Children can send in more than one book and our aim would be that all children in our school get to swap a book and leave with another.  This was hugely successful the last time we did it and we are really hoping for the same thing again this year.  Please send books in to classes anytime from now and we will aim to carry out our Book Swap at the start of next week if we have enough books.  Thank you in advance.
