Snack

Pupils eat snack outside during breaktime. They need a snack every day including Friday.
Snack is ONE easy to eat item that will keep them going until lunch time e.g. 1 banana.

Water Bottle

Pupils should each bring a water bottle filled with water.
If you wish for your child to have a carton of milk, please contact the school office – sign up is through Parent Pay.

Waterproof Coat

Pupils should bring a waterproof coat every day. Please put it in their bag if they do not want to wear it to school. We play outside regardless of the rain!

Name labels

Please label all of your child’s belongings. Writing on labels with a permanent marker or biro is fine.

Toys and Jewellery

Please leave toys, jewellery and pencil cases at home. We have toys and craft supplies at school and these can often get mixed up, broken, or taken by accident.

Pupils whom wear earrings are allowed to wear studs to school. If a pupil needs to wear a religious item to school, this should be discussed with the class teacher, and removed during P.E.

Learning Journals

Primary 1 use Learning Journals to share images and news with parents and carers.

A new permissions form will be coming out to you soon. We hope for a seamless transition from your Nursery experience.

Sports Day – Friday 12th June

Miss Copeland

Pupils will attend school as per normal.

Pupils should wear trainers and suitable sporting trousers/shorts.

House Colours

Pupils compete as part of a house group and are welcome to wear a t-shirt the colour of their team. Please see your child’s name below for the colour. This is not essential, however can help organisation on the day.

Pupils will participate in a range of activities, earning points for their house, as well as compete against their peers in races.

We will walk down to the location as a school and parents will be welcome to join us for the walk.

Pupils will bring their water bottle, snack and coat with them.

If the weather is hot – a sun hat or cap is recommended. Pupils are responsible for their own belongings. Please be aware they bring items from home at their own risk. Sun cream can be applied before school and pupils can apply sun cream to themselves however this must not contain nut or almond oil due to nut allergies.

Supporters

We encourage family to attend and support our event, however the following steps will support your child’s emotional regulation on the day.

  • If you can attend, let your child know where/when you will be arriving
  • If you cannot attend please tell your child in advance, and let them know when you will see them. I cannot express how much this helps on the day. We can also let these children know that we will take photos to share with their grown ups so they can talk through the day at home.
  • Encourage your child to stay with their supporting peers and teachers, as this is a school event.

After the event

Pupils will be expected to return to school until home time at 12:20 – if they are signed up to football club, 13:00.
