Weekly Update 23rd June

Dear Parents/Carers,

As the end of term draws close, there are a few updates to make you aware of.

It has been a very busy week at PPS! We have enjoyed welcoming our new Primary 1’s to their transitions days and hope that our P7s have had a great few days at Portree High School.

Last Friday’s Community Café raised an amazing £518 for Skye and Lochalsh Young Carers.  A huge well done to everyone involved.

Our summer picnic took part, in two instalments, this week with a lovely lunch provide by the canteen on Tuesday and an afternoon of fun and games at the KGV yesterday.

Transition Arrangements

Our new Primary 1’s and our new Primary 7’s had their transition visits this week.  Transition for our current P1-5 will take place on Monday and Wednesday afternoon next week.

Soccer 7’s

The final Soccer 7’s event of this session will take place on Saturday 24th June in Broadford. We are very grateful to Starsky Campbell, Barry Speed and John Urquhart for offering to help out with coaching at this event.  Further information and strips have been given out.  We ask that all strips please be returned to school by Monday 26th June so that they can be organised and stored away before the end of term.

Prizegiving

Our annual Prizegiving assembly will take place on Wednesday 28th June at the school at 9.30am.  This is our opportunity to recognise the achievements of the year and to wish our P7’s well as they head off to High School.  Primary 7 parents are welcome to join us for this event and to stay afterwards for tea/coffee and cake.  Parents of prize winners in other classes will also receive an invitation.

End of Term Arrangements

Thursday 29th of June is our last day of term and the school will close at 11.50am in order to tie in with transport arrangements.
