The weather is getting warmer and we are now in full swing
this term with lots of activities and events planned for the last five weeks of
the term!
It was lovely to see so many family and friends of P3a at
their wonderful assembly on Friday morning. P3a taught us such a lot of
interesting facts about Lego and their singing of the song from the Lego Movie
was a fantastic end to their assembly!
We are looking forward to a sunny, fun Sports Day on
Thursday afternoon, fingers crossed for a dry day! Thank you to Miss Hutt for
planning and organising this event. GOOD LUCK to our P5 golfers who are
competing in the Club Golf Final on that day too!
The Primary 7 pupils who have started publishing a blog with
book reviews, author interviews and updates on new books in our library, would
be delighted if you would take a look at their latest posts. The blog can be
found at http://florasbookgroup.blogspot.co.uk
Fundraising – Hairy Haggis Marathon.
Teams of parents/carers and staff are running a Marathon on
Sunday in aid of funds to improve our playground. Thank you very much to the
runners! If you are able to cheer them along the route or send in a donation, we
would be delighted! GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!
News from the Parent Council
The next Parent Council Meeting is on Monday 26 May at 7pm
in the Music School. We look forward to seeing you then. The following Tuesday
3 June is the second workshop for parents run by Playback Ice to support the
work of the Parent Council. It would be great if you could come along and
contribute to the discussion! 6.30 to 8.30pm.
Save the Date! The
school Summer Fair is on Saturday 14th June between 2pm and 4pm. It's going to be a fun packed afternoon with
music from the school choir and bands, stalls selling lots of things from
plants to pre-loved uniform, and activities including beat the goalie, wellie
boot throw, a bouncy castle and crafts to name a few. There's also face painting,
balloon modelling and a tattoo and a nail bar.
There will be a café serving cream teas and home baking, as well as Di
Rollo’s ice cream and freshly made pizza slices by La Favorita.
Thanks to all those who have made donations so far. Please keep your donations coming - we need
bottles for the tombola, old uniform, children’s books/DVDs, and jam jars
filled with treats (things like marbles, stickers, sweeties, Lego). All the money raised is going to buy much
needed IPads for the school, so help us make our Summer Fair a great
success."

Our last informal drop in Coffee Mornings for the session
take place on Monday 26 June for Parents/Carers of children with an additional
support need and on Monday 2 June for all parents and carers in the Dining Hall

effort to arrive in school on time, thank you.
