Young Citizen of the Year - P6

Please ensure that all entries for the Young Citizen of the Year are handed in tomorrow morning.  Only five entries can go forward.

Thank you.

Stay, Play and Learn Session

From ongoing building work in the school, and class movement, staff have decided that we will not have 'Stay, Play and Learn' sessions this term but we would like to offer these at the end of Term One in the next academic year.  It is a shame and we know that you will be disappointed but we need to ensure Health and Safety for all as a priority.

Sexual Health and Relationships

My thanks to all the parents that came along to the information evening regarding the introduction of the Sexual Health and Relationships part of our Health Curriculum.  From feedback on the night, it was good to hear that parents approved of these planners and that they would help to educate their children to look after their bodies and know how to keep themselves safe by knowing what their body parts are called.
From this, before a series of lessons are taught in classes, parents/carers will get a covering letter emailed out to them and on the website, classes will give a brief overview of the health going to be covered.  Parents can text the absence line if they do not wish their child to be taught any aspects of the lessons.

NURSERY - Parent 1-1 consultations

Our parent consultations will take place weeks 19th and 26th May.

All parents are encouraged to have one to discuss children's progress and staff can answer any questions you may have. 

Please speak to your child's key worker to arrange a convenient time and day during those 2 weeks.  Yellow Group parents should arrange theirs with Mrs Gallagher. 

NURSERY - IMPORTANT - Story Sacks

Can all Story Sacks be returned today from Green and Red group sessions please as we have Purple groups session this afternoon and are missing quite a few.

Thank you. 

Regional Rotary Quiz 2025

Last night, Mila, Tierney, Peyton and Georgia took part in the regional final of the Rotary Quiz at Troqueer Primary School.  There were a lot of hard questions in the ten rounds but I am pleased to report that they were placed 3rd and will now go to the finals in Hamilton in May.
Well done again to these pupils who have been working so hard over breaks and lunches.

NURSERY - IMPORTANT - SUN SAFETY

We are required to ensure all children are kept safe in the sun while at nursery. 
Can all parents please ensure :

• Suncream is applied of exposed skin BEFORE coming to nursery - face, legs, neck, ears, arms.
• A sun hat is worn on sunny days.

Previously we have asked for parents to supply the suncream but this resulted in 40+ bottles of the same brand and alot of time finding the correct one for the correct child.

If you have already supplied suncream for your child we send this home unless your child requires that specifc brand. 
If your child requires a specialist/allergy suncream please provide it. 

For all other children nursery will apply our own suncream Tesco factor 50 for sentisitve skin as and when required throughout the day. 

If you do not wish sun cream applied on your child's skin, please ensure they wear clothes that cover their arms and legs and wear a sun hat.

If you have any questions about the above, please ask Mrs Gallagher.

Uniform Update

Shorts (city or cycling) that your child may wear as part of their school uniform (not PE kit) should be just above the knee or on the knee. Black skirts (which sit just above the knee or on the knee), leggings, joggers or trousers can also be worn.
Thank you in advance for your support with this.
