School Roll 2010-11

At this time, I can inform you that there will be 8 classes for next year. The most likely classification and teachers will be:

• P1 – Mrs Sandra McLean
• P2 – Miss Mackenzie
• P3 – Mrs Ali McLean
• P4 – Mrs Macleod
• P5 – NQT and Miss Woodrow
• P5/6 – NQT and Mrs Tempest
• P6/7 – Mrs McDonough
• P7 - Mrs Govenden

All composite classes will be formed in accordance with Stirling Council guidelines i.e. age and then gender to maintain balance. Class lists will be sent out nearer to the end of term as I need confirmation of the school roll for next session.

P6 Residential Outing

Next week P6 will be enjoying the challenges of Ardentinny. Everything is organised for the trip with only the following few items of information to be shared:

• On Monday 17th May, please come to the Hall, through the side door at 9:00am. Children should have one bag only (apart from snack bag), which they can carry. If you need another copy of the Kit List, please ask.
• Children should leave their bag and go directly to their classroom. Please say your ‘goodbyes’ at this point. We want to try and keep things as calm as possible. I also think it would help if you waited at the top of Crosshead Rd to wave us off.
• Should your child require any planned medication during the trip, please bring it in a labelled container and ensure that a school medical form is completed. I will collect medication and medical forms on the morning of departure.
• No electrical equipment, including mobile phones should be brought to Ardentinny.
• The children do not require additional sweets, they will be given £5 in an envelope for the tuckshop.
• The school do not plan to contact parents during the course of the week unless in an emergency.
• Children can be collected from school on Friday from 2.00 p.m approx.

All of Primary 7 will be together with Mrs McLean and all of Primary 5 with Mrs McDonough for the week.

Sunny Weather

I know that it may not happen, but if it does, please ensure that your children are protected from exposure to the sun with sun cream and hats. Also, make sure that they have their water bottles with them as the classrooms do get very warm.

Sports Day

Monday 31st May is our Sports day. If you are on holiday (lucky thing!) and can help on the day please let us know before Friday 14th May so that we can make the best use of your talents. This year we are introducing a more competitive and challenging element for Primary 4-7. They will be running in middle distance and sprint heats over the next few weeks with the finals taking place on the morning of Sports Day. Gold, Silver and Bronze medals will be awarded to the winners. The Afternoon event will follow our usual format starting at 1.20pm and finishing at 3.15pm. Fingers crossed for a dry day.

Music Tuition – Registration of Interest

Forms are available from the office to register an interest in Music Tuition for pupils from P4 onwards. Please apply to school office for further details. Please note that an expression of interest is not a guarantee of music tuition.

Killearn ‘Elections’

Congratulations to Prmary4/5, P6/7 and P7 who really brought democracy to life last week. I think that all children in the school became aware of, and understood the importance of what was happening on Thursday. In my role as ‘Queen’, I have been visited by the successful candidates and have heard their requests. Ask your children about this.

PTA Duck Race & BBQ Saturday 5th June

The Duck Race will take place at the River Endrick at 11am and the BBQ will be held in the Primary School playground from 5pm until 8pm. A relaxed evening, where everyone can come along and enjoy a burger and a drink. Feel free to bring along picnic blankets, chairs etc and hopefully the sun will join us too.

Tickets for the Duck Race and BBQ will go on sale on Monday 24th May. Order forms be issued with the Tuesday notices on 25th May, and members of the PTA Committee will be in the playground at home time selling tickets for both the BBQ and Duck Race.
