Christmas Baubles

The Christmas tree has arrived in school and we are working on decorating it. Our usual tradition is for Primary 1 children and any new children to the school to bring in a bauble which will be hung on the tree each year. Each year we do always end up losing some baubles therefore, if you or your child are unable to find or see their bauble on the tree, they are welcome to bring in a replacement.
P1 and children who have recently joined Bankhead should bring in a bauble this week so that the tree is fully deocrated for our Christmas Fayre on Saturday 29th November.

The electric motorbike is now sold.

Toy Stall - Doll's House and motorbike

We have had a beautiful doll's house and an electric motorbike which have been donated for selling at our toy stall. 
As these are larger items and potentially great Christmas gifts, we would like to offer the option to purchase these before the Christmas Fair. 
The doll's house has some wear and tear but is still beautiful and has a lot of life left in it.  The motorbike is in full working order. 
If you would be interested in purchasing either of these please contact the school office.
I have attached photos for you to view these items.

P1-3 Orienteering Club

The P1-3 Orienteering Club had a huge response, however we have limited spaces, therefore it went to a ballot. 

If your child was successful in gaining a place for the next two weeks they have a slip in their bag detailing so.

If your child wasn't successful in the ballot, we do apologise, please look out for further opportunities when they become available.

Room 1 Week Beginning 24-11-25

Good Morning,
I hope you had a lovely weekend.
This week is the last week of formal homework before the holidays.  I will send home the next set of flashcards next week to revise all taught sounds and some word cards too if you would like to use them.

This week we are learning about 'c' and 'k'.  There is a double sided written task coming home today in book bags.  

In Numeracy we are continuing to work on addition and a task is coming home today too.  Please can all written tasks be returned by Friday.

If you have not yet returned the Christmas Lunch letter please can you do so as soon as possible.

We hope to see you this afternoon at 2pm in class to work with your child on Literacy tasks linked to the books which they will all receive and bring home today.

This week our school Christmas tree has arrived and is being decorated in preparation for the Christmas Fair on Saturday.  If you would like your child to add their own bauble to the tree please can you send one in labelled with their name and this will be added to the tree each year.

Have a great week,
Mrs Stevenson
