P1 Parent Workshop
Thank you to Mrs Smith for running a workshop on Monday for the P1 parents. Mrs Smith outlined the
type of work and activities that your child can expect in P1. Everyone who attended found the
information very useful.
Outdoor Space
As you can see, the work has started on our outdoor space to the side of the school. The rough ground
has been levelled and seeded for grass, and the old trees have been felled and put to good use around
the raised beds. This work could only happen with the generosity from our parents. The grass is already
beginning to grow, as are our plans to make good use of the area!
Book Bags
Thank you for your help during the busy school morning, by making sure that most correspondence to
the school comes via your child’s book bag. This not only offers a chance for your child to be
responsible and independent, but also encourages a link between the class and Mrs Smith in the office.
Evening Express Tokens
We are collecting the tokens from the paper. This Sports promotion only lasts for the month of
September. The more we collect, the more of a share is granted to our Active School’s Coordinator,
Shona Park. Get friends and family to help!
Healthy Snacks and water bottles
As we are an Active school, we do encourage healthy eating and rehydration. Please ensure your child
has a healthy snack with them every day. We welcome water bottles in the classroom, and your child
may take a drink at appropriate times. We do have water fountains that can be used to refill if
necessary, but your child’s class may not be close to one, so please come to school with water bottles
filled.
Netball Club Monday 3.30 - 4.15

Dance and Cheer Tuesday 4.00 – 5.00

Calling P6/7 Parents!
There will be a meeting about the forthcoming Activity Week to Dalguise. Please return the reply slip to
Mrs Gibb as soon as you can. The meeting will take place on Thursday 25th September. Please come
along to find out about this wonderful trip.
Message from Mrs Smith
I would like to thank you all for the thoughtful gifts and messages you gave me at the end of term.
My painting is hanging in my kitchen, opposite my place at the table, so that I can see it every time we
sit down to eat. It will always remind me of my happy time at Tarland Primary School.
I am sure you have all settled well into the new term. I am delighted to hear that the outside area is
underway!
I am enjoying my new job and having a little more time to devote to my family.
With kind regards,
Niccy Smith
