P6 and P7 Grow a 5er Update

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are excited to bring you an update on our Grow a 5er topic.

Over the last few weeks, we have worked hard to create and develop our products and we are now ready to welcome pupils to view and (hopefully) purchase some of our products. We have decided to host a selling afternoon on Wednesday 22nd May on the top floor. We will be inviting all parents of P6, P6/7 and P7 pupils to come and see our products from 1.40pm. We will then be offering all classes from P1-5 the opportunity to purchase our products.

Pupils will be showcasing what is available at Assembly this Friday through some PowerPoint slides. We will also share the same PowerPoint slides on each class page displaying our products and the price of each product.  If your child would like to buy something from us then please send them to school on Wednesday 22nd May with the money that they need. There will be change available but if possible exact money would be massively appreciated. In the event that we do not have enough change for all pupils on the day we will get their change to them no later than the end of the day on Friday 24th May

More details will follow early next week.

Thank you for your cooperation so far.

P6 and P7 Grow a 5er Update

Dear Parents/Carers,

Thanks for your patience with Grow a 5er. We have had numerous issues with the MS Forms on the Sways so we have decided to host a selling afternoon on Wednesday 22nd May at school instead of having pupils pre-order items. We will come around and bring children to the P6, P6/7 and P7 classrooms so they have an opportunity to purchase our products. We will also send a reminder email closer to the date so pupils can bring in money for the products.

Thank you and thanks again for your patience and support,

P6, P6/7 & P7 Team

Miss Murray, Mr Horan & Mr Murray

Finally, the week was rounded off with an International Cafe run by our Parent Council FAB team. OPEG pupils helped with setting up and selling at the cafe. There were lots of tasty treats from different countries and cultures to buy, and a recipe share so people could copy or photograph the recipes of others!

We’d like to thank everyone who gave up their time to come and take part in Sunrise Week! Thanks to all our visitors for sharing their stories, information or performance with the classes, and also to all the volunteers who helped organise the International Cafe. Thanks also if you attended the cafe and bought something! Let’s see if we can get even more visitors at Sunrise Week next year!

P6 Epic Day

P6 had an epic adventure this week at Bonaly Outdoor Centre! They spent the whole day and most of the evening taking part in a range of activities, including archery, hill walking, stream walks, climbing, bushcraft and outdoor escape room problem solving. The day was rounded off with a campfire and marshmallow toasting!

The pupils were excellent ambassadors for our school, showing determination, resilience and a growth mindset to new challenges!
