Dear Parent/ Guardian,
Happy New Year!
I can’t believe we’re into the second week of the new term already and as
always the school is so busy. The children have all come back after a
super Christmas and New Year break, all hopefully ready for a hard working
term that lies ahead.
CHARITY COLLECTION
£162 was collected at the Christmas Church Service and from staff
donations for Christmas cards; this will be presented to the Caithness
Branch of Diabetes UK during an Assembly soon.
JANUARY SALE
Many thanks for all your donations – the children had great fun spending
their money and £124 was raised for PSA funds.
SCHOOL MEALS
You will receive an information sheet, new lunch menu and a health bar
pre-packed order form along with this Newsletter.
“Good school meals – good for your child and good for school.”
Please encourage your child to try out new dishes – hopefully they’ll
enjoy them!
· Week 1 will start on Monday 19th January.
· Extra health bar forms are available on request.
TUCK SHOP
There is a range of healthy items on sale in the school tuck shop
including fresh fruit. Items are priced from 10p to 25p. Please encourage
your child to make healthy choices. All monies made from tuck shop go to
School Fund.
FEBRUARY BREAK
“Holidays already”, I hear you say!
The school will be closed to pupils on Thursday 12th February (In-Service
day for staff), Friday 13th February and Monday 16th February 2004.
BOOKS FOR AFRICA
Mackenzie’s Furniture Village in Brown Place are collecting books to send
to an orphanage in Africa, we will be gathering books from around school
to donate. If you have any children’s fiction or non- fiction books at
home in good condition which would be suitable and not needed any more
then please hand into school or Mackenzie’s shop.
TOYS/PERSONAL ITEMS IN SCHOOL
Children are bringing in quite a number of toys and games into school on a
daily basis. This causes a number of problems including squabbles in the
playground. Please do not allow your child to bring these into school.
Friday afternoons are the only times when children can bring in special
items and this is for “Golden Time” only.
P.E. KIT & INDOOR SHOES
Your child needs to bring their P.E. kit to school each Tuesday & Thursday
– please ensure that they have a pair of shorts, a t-shirt and gym shoes
in their school bag.
Jewellery MUST NOT be worn for P.E. – if your child has had their ears
pierced then they cannot take part in P.E. or swimming until they can be
removed. Please bear this in mind before allowing them to have them
pierced.
Gym shoes are required every day for classroom use – quite a number of
children have either grown out of their gym shoes or they are falling
apart. Can you please check that your child does have a pair to wear and
make sure their name is written clearly inside.
M.A.A.S.K.
Would you like your child to come to school at 8.30 am? Why not try out
the Morning Club - your child can have their breakfast and have some fun
until 9am. Costs only 60p.
How about after school? Would you like your child to play with friends,
have space and time to do homework, have a snack and lots of fun?
M.A.A.S.K. can provide all of these for 60p per session.
For more details contact the P.P.P. office at 606950.
Thank you for your continued support and please do not
hesitate to contact me if you have any query or concern.
Kind regards,
Pat Bowers
Headteacher
P.S. We are still collecting tokens from Persil,
Walkers and Cadbury! |
