Bankie Bargains

Good Morning,
Just a reminder that today is the first Bankie Bargains organised by the P7's.  If you would like your child to buy an item please send their money with them in a purse or wallet to prevent it from being lost.  Please could any money be kept in their own school bag so it is easily accessible.  Prices of items range from 5p to £1.
Regards,
Mrs Stevenson

 

Harvest Collection

Dear All, 

I am delighted we are collecting donations for the Simon Community again this year. The support they recieve from us is very much needed and appreciated. We are asking everyone to donate an item from the list attached. This is instead of £1 for change for charity this month. Our Harvest Assembly is Friday 3rd October and all donations must be collected by then. You are welcome to bring in donations anytime on the lead up and Room 6 will be organising the donations. 

Thank you for your generous support.

Rain Showers - Jackets

As the weather has been extremely changeable recently, we would ask that you ensure your child has an appropriate jacket/coat with them to school each day. Most playtimes and lunchtimes in the last few weeks have been interrupted by frequent and heavy rain showers and many of the children have not had a jacket or coat with them. This can lead to children sitting in damp clothing for the rest of the day which can be very uncomfortable. 
 

Beat the Street!

Good afternoon, 

Exciting news...Beat the Street is back, starting tomorrow - Wednesday 17th September!

Your child will come home today with a Beat the Street Map and a family pack with 2 cards inside. 

These cards need to be activated before you can start playing! Follow the instructions by scanning the QR code inside the family pack - parent/carers have a card too. Remember to select Bankhead Primary School to ensure our school get as many points as we can! There is a space on the back for them to write their name. 

Please encourage your child to bring their card to school each day - they must keep it safe in their bag though, we can't replace these if they get lost. We will be arranging class and whole school walks - keep an eye on the app for further information. 

Let's BEAT THE STREET everyone!
TEAM BANKHEAD!

Morning Clubs - Sports Games

Sorry for the confusion. Your child may have received the wrong slip today.

P5-7 morning Sports Games club will be Tuesday mornings for next 6 weeks, if you have signed up.

P2-4 morning Sports Games club will be Wednesday mornings for next 6 weeks, if you have signed up.

Sorry for any inconvenience.


 

Room 4 - missing jacket

Good evening,
We are looking for a boys black waterproof jacket that may have been accidentally taken home today after being picked up from the infant playground at lunchtime - this will be labelled with a child's name (initial A). Please could this be returned to school tomorrow if you find this in your child's bag or have noticed that they wore the wrong jacket home today. Many thanks.

Kind regards,
Mrs Alexander. 
 

Homework Delayed - Sorry!

Due to many interruptions and a shelf breaking in our room, I haven't handed out homework today. I will hand it out tomorrow with jotters. I would still ask for it to be handed in on Thursday? 

Apologies for the inconvenience. 
Miss MacVey
