Homecoming Parade for Royal Regiment

Around 180 troops will be on parade, accompanied by the Battalion colours and military band. The award ceremony will be held outside the Council offices in Court Street, Haddington, at 11am, followed by a parade through Market Street and High Street, before returning to Court Street.

Our P6 children will be due to return from Innerwick Residential Camp around 12 noon, however due to the above there maybe a significant delay in the bus returning through Haddington.

All parents should also be aware that this may have an impact on accessing the school around the end of the school day.

Lions’ Revenge

Primary 4C have been learning about some Christian Bible stories in RME.  This week we have been learning about Daniel in the Lions’ Den.  We decided to make masks to help us re-tell the story.  We went to the drama room and while we there we did a re-enactment of the Daniel in the Lions’ Den.  It was great fun!

A Visit from Clyde

The mascot for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow is a large, sporty thistle called Clyde.  Our school was one of 24 throughout Scotland to win a visit from Clyde.  There was great excitement on Monday, April 8 when Clyde visited all the classes to meet the children.  Our House Captains did a sterling job in escorting Clyde and Fraser, his tour organiser,  around the school.  Mrs McGinlay took photos of the event and these will soon be displayed at the front of the school for the children and visitors to see.
 
Parents will have a chance to see them during our annual “Bring An Adult to School Night” on May 28th.  Fraser Ralston, who oversees Clyde’s schedule will be creating a post tour report in which King’s Meadow will feature.  We will pass on further information about this when we get it.

Red Nose Day

We raised £347.35 on Friday 15th march for Comic Relief.  The children and staff had a ‘Red Day’ where children were able to come to school wearing red clothes, bring a red snack and have wacky hair.  Children completed a range of competitions such as ‘Design a Red Nose.’  Mrs McGinlay has been handing out the prizes for these competitions today.

£360 was raised by selling red noses. 

KMPS raised a grand total of £707.35!
