HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a healthy and relaxing break.

Information update:

• PE days are now Tuesday and Thursday for P7. Children should come dressed for PE indoors or outdoors.
• Packed lunches – due to a slight tightening of Covid restrictions within school, children in P7 can no longer buy a school dinner. Therefore, pupils should bring their own packed lunch from home once more. Children will eat this in the classroom.
• Clothing – Please come to school dressed in layers than can be taken off/put on easily in class. In our efforts to keep rooms well ventilated, we will continue to have windows and doors open as much as possible.  All classes have a CO2 monitor too.
• A letter about current Covid procedures should have been received.
• Next week, I will post more information about P7s curriculum this term and news about Chromebooks that each pupil will receive soon.

That’s all for now,

Miss S Brunt
