Summerlee Information Monday 27th March

Hello Room 6!

I hope you are all excited for our trip on Monday to Summerlee! 

Please remember to bring a packed lunch with you if you have not ordered a lunch from school this week. Can I also ask that all children are wearing their Uniform on top, e.g. a Bankhead polo shirt and jumper, so we can easily identify our group while at Summerlee, and joggers or leggings on the bottom. Please bring a jacket as we know how unpredictable the weather in Scotland can be!

Looking forward to a great day! smiley

Thanks,
Miss Carr

Bikes = Change of Day

Room 7 will be participating in the 'Bounce Back' sessions on Thursday 23rd and Thursday 30th March. These sessions clash with our bike ability time and I would like to give the children one last bike session before spring break. Therefore, our last bike ability will be on Tuesday 28th March. If you would like to bring your bike or helmet for our last session please do. Thanks Miss MacVey

Good morning,
Tomorrow we are going on our trip to The Museum of Rural Life.  Our bus will leave at 9:30 and we will return to school before the end of the day.
The forecast for tomorrow is rain so please dress your child in their uniform but with suitable outdoor clothing as we will be outside for part of the day to visit the farm.  If your child has wellies they would be advised.
Please could your child bring their school bag so that they can keep their lunch, snack and water bottle in it to prevent any items being mixed up as we will be given an area to leave our belongings.
We are looking forward to it!

Room 11 Parents' Evening Appointments - Cancelled

Parents’ Evening – Thursday 23 March

Dear Parent / Carer

Parents’ Evening – Thursday 23 March
We look forward to welcoming you into school for parents’ evening this week. Please enter by the main entrance shortly before your appointment time and make your way to the gym hall. You will see your child’s teacher at a desk around the hall. Please have a seat in the seating in the middle of the hall near your child’s teacher and wait to be called over.

The teacher will give you information on attendance / punctuality, progress in learning and general information on behaviour / attitude etc. There will be time for you to ask questions or discuss your child’s progress.

All appointments are 7 minutes long. Staff will stick to this as closely as possible. If you haven’t managed to discuss any issues in that time that you feel you need to, then the Senior Management Team (Mrs Yardley & Miss Boyd) will be on hand if you want to speak with one of us.

The book fair will be in school for the parents’ evening, with members of Friends of Bankhead looking after it. As well as cash, you can now pay for items using bank cards. We normally make a lot of money on commission from the book fair, with the money being spent directly on books for the school library and classes.

Friends of Bankhead will also be serving up tea and coffee. Please feel free to get yourself a drink and peruse the displays and information we will have on the night, as well as the book fair.

There will be a large selection of pre-loved uniforms available on the afternoon / evening. All parents / carers are encouraged to stock up for the winter. The uniforms are in excellent condition and will only go to waste if they are not used. The recycling of uniforms saves money as well as the planet!

We will also take the opportunity to seek parental views on school related issues. We value your input and it helps us improve things in school for the children. Moving with the times, there will be a QR code on display around the school, which you should capture with your mobile phone so that you can complete the questions online. It will only take you a couple of minutes to complete.
The online booking system for appointments is now closed. If you missed the deadline and would like an appointment, please contact the school office as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely
Julie Yardley
Acting Head Teacher
