Article 31: The right to relax, play and sport.

#Article 14: Freedom of thought, belief and religion.

Dear all.

Thanks for your support today with the lines. Standing that little bit further back really helped our pupils and teachers.

We had hoped to be able to update you about Parent Consultations today but are still awaiting further guidance from Head Office. I really hope to have this information to share tomorrow. Apologies for the delay.

Our Parent Council Meeting will take place tomorrow, thanks to those who have notified us that they will be attending. Please be advised that all available spaces have been applied for so unfortunately you won’t be able to come if you haven’t booked. We will of course share minutes of the meeting with you all via email next week.

Please remember that pupils will only attend school from Wednesday to Friday next week, due to Public Holiday on Monday 4^th May and staff In-service Day on Tuesday 5^th.

As always, please continue to ask any questions to myself or Mr Crowley in person or via school email (admin@st-cuthberts.edin.sch.uk) or via telephone on 0131 443 2621.

Kind Regards

Mr Brack

Dear Parents/Carers

I hope you and your families had a restful weekend. Please see today’s update below.

School Football

Firstly, congratulations to our P6 footballers who defeated James Gillespies in a sporting and hard fought game by 10 goals to 5 on Saturday. Good luck also to our P7 footballers who will be taking part in the EPSSA cup tomorrow at Meggetland.

P4 Singing Lessons

Secondly, it was great to see P4 recommence their singing lessons with Katrina from the Cathedral this afternoon.

P3-7 P.E This Term

Please see below a message from Miss Armitage re P.E. for P3-7 parents this term:

‘In the summer term we endeavour to take the students outdoors as much as possible whether it be for outdoor learning, games, exercise or simply to read their books in the shade of a tree. 

The students will also be having a dedicated PE lesson on the following days:

P3- Wednesdays

P4- Wednesdays 

P5- Tuesdays 

P6- Tuesdays

P7- Thursdays 

If the weather allows, these lessons may take place outdoors. Please ensure your child has PE kit to change into on these days. This will include trainers, t-shirt, shorts / leggings / joggers. Long hair should be tied back and jewellery should be avoided, particularly no dangly earrings. Please also ensure your child is bringing a refillable water bottle to school this term.’

Parent Council Meeting – Friday 1^st May 11am

Finally, as shared last week, the Parent Council will meet in the Nursery TU at 11am on Friday. Space is limited and attendance at the meeting can only be secured by contacting our Admin mailbox by Wednesday lunchtime. Thanks to those who have done so already.

Kind Regards

Mr Brack
