Meet The Teacher

On Monday 14^th September 2015, at 7pm, parents are getting the opportunity to come to school and meet their child’s teacher. Parents will be given a brief overview of the school year and get an opportunity to see what actually happens in the classroom, should it be Jolly Phonics, Guided Reading, Tables, World Around Us themes, ICT and also get a first look at our new handwriting scheme which we are introducing this year. If you plan to attend this evening can you please ring Dawn in the office to confirm? Thanks.

Sponsored Walk

This year we are having a Sponsored Walk on Friday 2^nd October at 6.00pm. This is instead of our Christmas fair. We are hoping to raise money to purchase a new Interactive Whiteboard for school and also to help subsidise a trip, for the whole school, to the theatre at Christmas time.

A sponsorship sheet has been sent home with children today.

The walk will take place in Portballintrae and on The Tramway. More details will follow.
