Open Afternoon
We would like to invite all parents, families and friends to join the pupils for their annual Open Afternoon. This is a fantastic chance for the children to showcase their work. Please join us from 1.30 to 3.00 p.m. on Thursday 30th March.
Cycle Training
We start the icycle training on Thursday 20th April for 6 weeks with P6-7, initially in the playground. Now is the time to check over bikes in preparation for this. Pupils also need to wear a well-fitting cycle helmet. If your child does not have a bike, they may be able to borrow one, so let me know if this is the case and we can try to arrange a suitable alternative. Pupils showing sufficient aptitude and awareness of road safety will continue with the lessons in the village. Please note that it is preferable for bikes to be taken to school by a parent unless you are absolutely confident of your child’s cycling abilities on the main road.
