Dear Parent/Carer
We have enjoyed a week of all things Scottish and look forward immensely to the Parent Council Family Ceilidh on Saturday. This event has sold out and promises to be an excellent evening! Huge thanks to Jamie from Broughton High School who piped us into assembly today accompanied by Elian on the snare drum. What a wonderful start to the day! We were thrilled to listen to a number of wonderful recitations and shown great examples of art work at our assembly also. Richt braw bairns!
The minutes of the recent Parent Council meeting can be found on their website at florasparentcouncil.wordpress.com
The next Parent Council Meeting is on the 20th March at 7pm.
Thank you for supporting all our Fundraising efforts. You donated £132.39 to the Children’s Charity, The Yard at our Christmas collection at the church and £389.09 to the homeless Charity, Crisis at Christmas. Huge thanks to you all.
News from the Chess Club
We had a good day at the Lothian Junior Championships on Sunday 22nd January, which was held at Broughton High School. Flossie, Pavel and Kasey played in the P6/7 tournament. Flossie came joint 5th and will get a trophy. Pavel and Kasey each won a medal for scoring 50% or higher. Rocco and Marshall played in the P5 and Under. Rocco came away with a medal and Marshall did extremely well as one of the very youngest in the tournament. Mahima and Tristan had their first tournament experience today as well, playing in a half-day mini tournament for children who had not played before. The UK Chess Challenge will start in school on Friday 3rdFebruary. Jenny Wilson
