Arrangements for activities and prep in the last week of term

Due to the Year 7 Field Trip there will be a revised activities programme for Monday and Tuesday evenings. Football and Judo will go ahead as normal and there will be a variety of other activities from which other children can choose. During prep on these two evenings the children will watch Year 6 perform some short plays which they have been practising in Drama lessons. There will be no activities or prep on Thursday evening - children staying in school will be shown a film in the Nipper Hall.

Early Years activities in the last week of term

Judo and Football will take place as usual on Monday and Tuesday but there will be no Dance Activity on Thursday.

Year 6 Plays

Year 6 children will be performing some short plays to the school on Monday and Tuesday evening between 5.15 pm and 6.00 pm. Year 6 parents are invited to come to watch - Yr 6T will perform on Monday and Yr 6D will perform on Tuesday.

Early Years Sports Day

This is a reminder about Early Years Sports Day on Monday. Sports day will start at 1.30 pm. Please note that all Early Years children should wear red tracksuits on Monday and bring white shorts.

Giant Sleepover

Last Saturday 33 Nippers attended the Save the Children Giant Sleepover at Newfield House. This was part of a world record breaking 51000 strong sleepover nationwide. Thanks to the families for sponsoring the children and to the parents and local businesses such as Starbucks and Lucas who donated gifts. In total we have so far raised a total of £580. Could any participants yet to hand in their donations please do so to Mrs Pearce by 25 June.

School Transport from Edinburgh - New Service

A number of new parents living in Edinburgh are interested in a School transport service to and from Edinburgh from Monday to Friday. The current proposed collection points are: Trinity, City Centre, Newington and Duddingston. An alternative option is a School minibus running to and from Musselburgh Railway station. If you are interested in either of these services please contact the bursar, Alan Lawson before the end of term, by email: bursar@loretto.com or telephone: 0131 653 4400.
