Summer Fête 2013


Planning for the Summer Fête is well underway but to ensure it’s success we need your help!
 

 

 

 

 

Friday 17th May
Dress down day…..instead of bringing payment we ask that children bring a donation for our bottle stall (shampoo, bubble bath, juice etc) and/or chocolate for our chocolate tombola.

 

 

Cakes
A couple of weeks before the Fête, all children will be given an empty paper plate which we would ask you to fill with a goody for our Cakes stall. This donation can be brought to school on Friday 31st May at earliest or handed in the morning of the Fête. If you wish to hand in goods in containers, please ensure to label them with your child’s name and class.

Donations
We also need donations of the following items which can be handed into the school office the week of the Fête. Toys, books, DVD’s, CD’s, plants and used school uniforms.

 

 

Our Summer Fête is the main fundraiser or the year and in order to make it a success volunteers are needed to help run stalls on the day and/or set up the day before and help to clear up at the end of the day.

 

 

Many thanks in advance for your support and we hope to see you all there!

Take a look at some of the fun that we had last year.

The pandas were awesome. One of them looked at me and I was scared for a little while.

Then we went to the Education Centre and we put animals in their habitats.

For music we are making a backing track for a mini film.

 

Football for Pinkie

A team of P6′s and 7′s went to Loretto RC to have a game of football.The team all enjoyed the match and the score was, wait for it………. 8-0 to Pinkie. The next game is a tournament on Friday the 10th of May at Pinkie on the Astro and the first game gets kicked off at 9:30 Am.

P3,4 and 4/5 News

P4/5 are starting  to learn about invertebrates and going out on an angle hunt. They have also been going outside to play rounders and having a workout. Primary 3, 4 and 4/5 spent an exciting Friday morning on their junk ‘Invention Challenge’. In mixed groups each team had to decide which challenge they would go for. Would they design and make a table tidy or a car? Or would they prefer to choose a rocket or jewellery box? Teams then drew their designs and decided what materials they would need. After break the teams had one hour to build their challenge from junk.  The following week, all 3 classes meet up to show everyone their finished product and discuss some of its features.

Football Coaching

On Thursdays a group of P3′s to p5′s have been getting football coaching by the football reps from the upper school. Active Schools football coach Ewan is the overall coach who is trying to coach the upper school coaches and the trainees at the same time. The purpose of this is to stop all the fighting and arguing.
