School Newsletter May 2019 Hello! WOW! Can you believe it’s May already. I am sure that along with me you can hardly believe we are approaching the end of another school year. As always school life is very busy and I hope the following will help you keep up to date with what has been happening and what is still on the agenda Online Payment and School Meal Pre orders Most of our families are now registered on the School Pay System and it’s proving helpful in class as most children now have their lunches ordered which reduces the amount of time spent in class doing this task. If you have not registered yet and are unsure how to please contact Mrs Cameron in school office who will be happy to help you get set up. Can we also take this opportunity to remind you that if you wish your child to have a school packed lunch on a Friday, this must be ordered by the Wednesday afternoon – many thanks!
Parental Consultations Just a reminder that parental consultations will now take place on Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th May. Letters will be coming home in the near future to see what time slots would be more convenient to you. Water bottles As you are aware the weather is much warmer and therefore I would be grateful if you could ensure that your child brings a named water bottle to school, which we will endeavour to return home every Friday for washing. Extensive research has shown that children’s concentration is much improved by regularly sipping water. Many thanks!
Issue 4 Parent Council I am sure you will all agree that the Summer Fair was a great success – what a lovely day. The work and dedication put into this day is fantastic and we would like to say a huge thanks to everyone who took part. Recently the Parent Council have been able to subsidise the cost of various excursions, pay for PVG’s for parental volunteers and buy new furniture for our Nursery and P1/2 class. We are also looking forward to the arrival of a visualiser in school to help with our learning. Parent Helpers As previously mentioned, thanks to Parent Council funding we were able to apply for PVG’s for parents/carers who were keen to come in and help within the school. There helpers come in regularly during the week to help with reading, spelling and maths groups and also help with delivering Bikeability and attending excursions. If you think you might be keen to get involved please let Mrs Cameron know.
Loose Parts Play We are pleased to let you know that the application we submitted to the North Berwick Coastal Area Partnership was successful and we have now been granted the monies to purchase and fit out the shed, pay for planning permission and groundworks and cover staff for training. Once the Planning Application is granted we will be going ahead with this project and will keep you posted as to the progress.
