Dear Parent/Carer
We have just had our second Flora’s Forum and our groups
came up with their action plans! Our Rights Respecting group will be working
with the Parent Council to plan an international day, Our Pupil Council and
House Captains made a film to help us with our Golden Goal (moving around the
school quietly), our Gardening Group spruced up the planters, our website group
came up with the idea of flying a drone around the school and getting a birds
eye view of Flora’s ours and our Newspaper group are busy writing articles! A
fantastic Friday!
As usual please remember to name all clothing. Our unnamed
lost property goes on a table outside the office every Friday and anything
which is named is returned. Some children have been wearing trakkie bottoms,
leggings or jeans to school and our preferred preference for school uniform is
trousers, skirts or shorts, thank you.
Today some of our Primary 6 pupils spoke in assembly about
how we treat others. The pupils came up with their own script, posters and even
made their own drama! We heard a strong message about what is ok and not ok and
when we need to stay stop!
We have a number of events planned for the next three weeks
and unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, George Vidits, the Minister
at St Stephen’s Comely bank will no longer be able to be at the Church Service
on Tuesday 19th December. Logistically we are unable to change the
date and he is sorry that we will not be able to have the service this year. We
value our relationship with George and we have agreed that we will visit the
Church in the New Year. P2 and 3 parents are still more than welcome to join us
on the last day of term for Carols on the Balconies!
The school have been informed that over the next three weeks
PMK engineering will be carrying out work on Orchard Brae and Comely Bank Road.
The work will result in parking restrictions and limited access to pavements.
PMK have assured me that they will contact me and inform me of any restrictions
immediately outside the school. I would be grateful if you could adhere to
safety notices and barriers and as soon as I have more information I will email
you.
Congratulations to the Jamieson family who won my last
Playground Patter Prize! A lovely box of my favourite truffles are coming your
way! I have asked over 200 people to name our Values and our next step is to
work with our Pupil Council to come up with a way to ensure that everyone
knows what they are!
We are looking forward to the Parent Council film event
tomorrow! We hope you have a lovely weekend.
Ms McGhee and everyone at Flora’s
