Prestonpans Infant School Newsletter
October 2013
Some of our P3 children
have been delivering your
kind Harvest gifts to
Harlawhill Day Centre,
Johnny Moat Housing,
the Salvation Army
Thursday Group and to
East Lothian Foodbank.
All of these local community
groups were delighted with
your kind gifts and by the P3s
lovely singing. Thank you all.
The dining hall was full to enjoy a cuppa
and some home baking. Everyone that
gathered loved to hear the P2s sing and
dance. Thank you for coming and raising
£235 for Macmillan Cancer Relief.
Follow all of this on www.weepans.org
or on our new Twitter account
Do you know anyone who has a child under 3? Can you
tell them that there is an online consultation about the
Scottish Government’s plan to increase the number of
hours a child is entitled to be in nursery. Now it’s
475hrs but it’s going to rise to 600hrs in August 2014.
The consultations asks all parents and carers how they
would want those hours to be organised. You can find
the consultation on East Lothian Council website :

We are looking in car boot sales etc
for wee figures that our children
can play with in the woods. Do you
have any old fairies, soldiers, animals, dinosaurs, heroes,
Macdonald toy rejects etc that we could have? Nothing valu-
able but anything that will get wee imaginations going. Please
hand them into the office. Thanks to Mr Ferguson, our jani-
tor, for all he’s found us so far.
The families of our P2 children are
invited to join them for a Ceilidh on
Monday at 25 November 2013 at
1.30pm in the gym hall. The children
have been learning Scottish Dancing
and have become very good. You will
be able to watch them dance then join
in and have a wee dance with them.
Kat Fairfoul and Jaqui Davie
are also on our
Parent Council.
50 tickets left and these will be on sale on Wednesday at
8.50am at the main school entrance. The disco is on
25.10.13 in Prestonpans Community Centre from 6—7.30pm
Ticket are £2 each and an adult must accompany the children.
Kittle Photographers did our class photos so beautifully. They
will be back on Wednesday 30 October from 9am to take
family and individual photos. More information to follow but
please note that date.
Please do NOT come into school through the staff car
park. Teachers have complained that there have been
dangerous incidents recently because of children and
parents being in the car park. We have to leave our
gates open on bin uplift days but this does not mean
families can use the car park. Additionally an elderly
carer needs the gate open from time to time to access
our disabled parking spot. However, no child is allowed
in the car park at any time.
Last year you said you wanted the chance to buy
Christmas Cards designed by your own child. Today
you will have a leaflet from Cauliflower cards that
allows you to do that. Cards cost £5.50 A4 or A5
sized paper and stick it onto the Customer Order
Form. Do not use staples or paper clips. YOU
MUST RETURN THE ORDER FORM AND PAYMENT
TO SCHOOL by 5 NOVEMBER 2013. This makes
£1 per pack towards School Trips. We will display the cards
and answer questions about this at Parent Consultations.
