Winter Sports

Please send in a photo of your child in action or with their team.  We are putting together a winter sports page for our next newsletter.

Ski Trip

A HUGE thanks to all the parents who helped us out - and to all those who stayed behind to look after brothers and sisters who weren't on the trip. It was a fantastic sunny day and the kids did fantastic. It was great to see the kids practicing their control in turning, speed and stopping. There were some other kids there who were very dangerous in the way they were screaming down the hill - one even went home with broken wrists as proof!

Click on the picture and it should take you to more pictures from skiing. If you have pictures from the day, we'd love to have a copy to help us with our story writing.

Welcome back

We hope you all had a great time with your children over the holidays. Its great to see them all back and enthusiastic!

Please note that we are currently in the process of upgrading our water filter system and your children need to bring a labelled water bottle to school each day.

Also the ski trip for year 3-6 students is on for Tuesday 9th of Aug. Please let us know ASAP if you are able to drive!

End of Term!

Phew! What a long term. It's been tricky with so many kids being away this term so we are all looking forward to a well deserved break.
We are looking forward to you joining us tomorrow for a shared lunch and assemby. We are also saying farewell to Mrs McNish. It's been great having her with us this year and we are sure she will have lots of fun with her new baby.
Enjoy the holidays and keep an eye on the class blogs!

No Skiing tomorrow :(

We were really hoping for a cold miserable weekend and a good dumping of snow, however we had a lovely time in the sun. So, at this point we will not be skiing tomorrow.
We will have another look after the holidays. We will hold your money until then, unless you speak to Jane.

Keep an eye on Porter's website to find out more :

Congratulations Mrs B!

Congratulations!
Mrs B has completed her required teaching time to achieve her full teaching registration.
We all enjoyed a great evening out and yummy meal to celebrate Mrs B's great work.

Keep up the great teaching.

Water filters

We forgot to say in the newsletter that the water filters have been changed. Our drinking water is all good to go. Thank you for sending in drink bottles for your children.

Ski Trip

At the moment we have enough cars to get us up to the ski field and now we just need Mother Nature to provide the snow!

Changing the Blog

Hi all -
We are changing the blog so that we can use this space to keep parents updated on school events.
Class entries will now be on a different blog.
Hopefully you will find this site helpful - please leave us comments / feedback so we can do our best to keep you informed.
