The Noticeboard
First week of Term 2, we hope you all had a lovely October Break.
We are very excited that our Tuck Shop will be launched this Thursday, Fairtrade Friends, with all teams playing
their part! A BIG THANK YOU to all the groups for their hard work so far, and we are looking forward to customers enjoying our Fairtrade snacks. Please remember to bring money if you would like to buy a snack!
This Thursday, we will be learning in role, exploring the realities of power and discrimination. We will be doing
this through drama and role play, and the pupils will have an opportunity to discuss their experiences.
This Friday, please come to school dressed in a Halloween costume of your choice, but
please no masks. We will also have a surprise fun activity.
Kind regards, Miss Clouston and Miss McNicol
