(Bring Your Own
Carrier Bags!)
Our Christmas Shopping Night is on Thursday 27 November at
6.30pm. Come along and enjoy a great range of Christmas Shop-
ping opportunities, pick up the Christmas Cards you made in your
child’s class, enjoy the £1 bags, the teddy tombola and try to win
one of our amazing hampers.
You have given so generously so far towards the £1 freezer bag
appeal and to the hampers. We still need some hamper goodies so
here is a reminder of what the different classes could bring;
P1a cakes P1b chocolates
P1c savouries/crisps P1d puddings
P1e biscuits P1/2 sauces (eg cranberry)
P2a tea/coffee P2b preserves/jams
P2c cheese/biscuits/savouriesP3a Christmas items (crackers etc)
P3b tins of fruit/custard P3c soft drinks
All the money raised at the Christmas Shopping Night will go into
the School Fund, which subsidises trips and the pantomime.
The children have all been busy creating a craft item for you to
buy, as their contribution to the Christmas Shopping Night. You
will get a letter explaining what your child has made and how much
it costs before Christmas Shopping Night so you won’t be disap-
pointed at the event because somebody has bought your child’s
item. Any unsold items will be sold at Christmas Shopping Night.
The P1-3 children will be performing Ralph the Reindeer 3 times;
Thursday 11 December 2014 at 2pm
Thursday 11 December 2014 at 6.30pm
Friday 12 December 2014 at 10am
This year, we will be selling 2 tickets to each family. Each ticket
will be £1. This money will be used to pay for costumes. You will
be sent a letter on Tuesday 2 December with a ticket application
f o r m . Look out for it.
We are very grateful to Nursery parents Samantha and Keith
Murphy who have been successful in asking their employer Bank of
Scotland to give 6 staff a day to come and build our show scenery.
The bank have also donated £150 to pay for the scenery. Thank
you so much.
We had a competition in school to de-
sign 2 boards to go round Prestonpans
Christmas Tree at the War Memorial.
The winners were Zack Watters and
Darby Turner. Look out for their lovely
designs when Prestonpans Christmas
Lights are switched on. This event
starts with a parade starting at 5.15 at the Community Centre on
Sunday 7 December 2014.
The Parent Council Fundraising Group ran 2 lovely discos for the
children who dressed up so well and had a lovely time. Thank you
to the parents & carers who gave up their time to run the discos.
We are very proud that Place2Be are
showing a film of our P3 children sing-
ing at Place2Be National Awards in
Kensington Palace in front of the
Duchess of Cambridge and Place2Be
supporters.
Our P2s have finally been successful in
being chosen to sing to Radio Forth au-
diences on the Boogie and Arlene show.
This is being recorded on Wednesday 26
November in school. We’ll let you know
when it’s broadcast.
We are growing so big that we can’t all fit into the Brunton
Theatre together any more so P1s are going on Monday 15th
December at 9am. P2ss and P3s are going on Tuesday 16th
December at 9am. We won’t need any parent helpers as we
have enough staff to accompany the children. We will give the
children a drink and some sweets at the interval so please
don’t send them with any goodies. Thank you.
All P1 parents and carers are invited into
classes on Thursday 27 November at 2.15pm.
The children will be presented with their
Scottish Book Trust bookbag gift. This is a
lovely gift and we hope you will join us. You
can take your child home when the wee event
is over.
Our second FAST programme is going well and also quickly. The
FAST graduation will be on Friday 5 December in the gym hall.
Well done to all the families who are coming along every week.
