Sporting Events
As

accompany the children to these events. If you can spare any
time, please contact myself or class teachers as soon as possible
so that we can confirm if our teams can participate.
Lunch Menu Change

Wednesday 17th February the menu has been changed to
the following:

Parent Helpers
Many thanks to all parents who have volunteered to come into
school to help in our classes. We really appreciate the support
and commitment. If anyone has had their Disclosure Scotland
accepted and has not been contact by myself, please give me a ring
to arrange a time for you to come in.
Homework
Thank you to all parents who have completed the feedback on
homework sheets ( p4 – P7). Almost all the responses have been
very positive, with parents and children enjoying the new
challenges. We will continue the roll out programme and also
provide more information on guided reading.

Uniform
The Primary uniform is navy skirt or trousers, blue school polo shirt
and school fleece or sweatshirt. Polo shirts, fleeces and sweatshirts
with the school logo are available to order from school. In summer, girls
may wear school summer dresses. Pupils should bring shorts, T shirt and
gym shoes for PE. All pupils change their footwear on arriving at school
and should therefore have indoor shoes which are kept in school
Transfer
of Pupils from Primary to Secondary Our
aim is to ensure the smooth personal, social and emotional transfer of
pupils from primary to secondary. Effective transfer of information regarding
pupils progress in areas of Personal and Social Development, Mathematics,
Language (French) is also a requirement. This ensures progression and
continuity in all aspects of the child’s development and learning.
The process
is based on a partnership between pupils, primary staff, secondary staff,
and parents and will consider the needs and requirements of all.
Parents will
be encouraged to comment on any issues relating to their child’s
transfer which will enhance the transition e.g. any special factors which
need to be considered when classes are being formed.
Full details
available from school office.
