South Primary School - New Year Newsletter 2003

Dear Parent/ Guardian,

I hope you have all had a happy start to the New Year and long may it continue. The children (and staff) all seemed a bit bleary eyed on Monday morning, probably due to late nights and long lies! Another busy term lies ahead - 13 weeks of school with the February weekend in the middle.

February Weekend

School closes on Wednesday 12th Feb. at 3.15pm for the children and resumes on Tuesday 18th Feb. at 9.15am. (Thursday 13th Feb. is an In-Service Day for staff.)

Community Carol Singing

Thank you to all who attended this informal get-together before the Christmas break. £120 was raised between the silver collection and the raffle. The money has gone to school fund and helped with monies for the parties.

Chess Club

Presently P6 and P7 are enjoying their weekly Chess Club, run by Miss Robertson who is a volunteer in school. We are desperately looking for some “chess playing parent volunteers” to help out on Wednesday lunchtimes. Please contact myself if you are interested. We are holding a school competition in a few weeks time and it would be helpful to have “experts” on hand!

P6 and P7 Aviemore Residential Trip

There will be a meeting next Thursday afternoon (16th January) at 2.45pm to discuss fundraising for the trip. Please come along with your money -making ideas and we can then organise a programme of events. Money is required for all the additional visits e.g. Landmark, Go-Karting.

Golden Rules

Our approach to the New Year has incorporated sets of moral rules for in school and the playground. I’m sure that you will agree with me that these rules are the ultimate goals, which we all have for the children.

These rules are for all within school (staff and children) and I hope they become part of the wider community.

I have included both sets of rules on the reverse of this sheet - please spend some time discussing these with your child. I’m sure you have the same kind of rules at home!

Kind regards,

Pat Bowers - Headteacher
