Nativity

The dress rehearsal for our Nativity

‘A King is Born’ will take place on

Monday 11th December. The

performances of the Nativity for P1

families are:

Tuesday 12th December- P1 Scots Pine / Rowan families performance

Wednesday 13th December - P1 Willow / Lime families’ performance -

Both performances are at 1:30am

Toys

I would encourage pupils not to bring their own toys to school. Children can become very upset if they are accidentally lost or broken. Electronic toys such as DS games /psps/ipods etc are not permitted at school.

Pupils are responsible for the safekeeping of all phones and toys they choose to bring to school.

School app

The school app is now ‘up and running’ and I would encourage you to download the app to your smartphones. This is another great way of ensuring good communication with families. It is very easy to install and to navigate.

Burns Night Ceilidh /

Scots Poetry Competition

We will be holding a Scots Poetry

Competition in January for our pupils.

In addition we hope to host a

Burns Night Ceilidh in January 2018

for our families. More details will follow in the

New Year.

Wednesday20th December

Please ensure you make arrangements

for your child to be collected
