Uniform Swap Shop

The Gylemuir Uniform Swap Shop is now up and running.

We have created the Swap Shop to support families with the cost of school uniform and to reduce clothing waste. Most of the items are unnamed pieces which have not been claimed from Lost Property by the end of term, but we also welcome donations of uniform – coats, jumpers, trousers, polo shirts, etc – which your child no longer requires. We ask that these items are clean and in an acceptable condition, please.

Families are welcome to take what they need from the items on the rail located in the corridor next to the school library.

After School Sports Clubs – bookings open

Bookings are now open for the after-school sports clubs which are running this term. Please note that bookings close on Thursday 17th January.

The clubs on offer this term include badminton, basketball, athletics, football and street dance.

A New Year begins…

Happy New Year! We hope everybody had a good break and managed to recharge the batteries over the holidays.

We look forward to seeing the children back on Wednesday 9th January.

Christmas Week at Gylemuir

It’s set to be a busy last week of term at Gylemuir with lots going on:

• On MONDAY it’s pantomime time as M&M Theatrical Productions come into school to perform their panto. The first of the year group Christmas parties takes place afterwards.
• TUESDAY morning sees P1 & P2 welcome parents and carers to their WINTER WONDERLAND! There will be Christmas crafts, games, home baking and a Christmas cafe. There will also be a chance to buy a DVD of the Nativity performances given by the children last week, and photo calendars of the children in their Nativity costumes.
  Any donations of home baking will be gratefully received. Please hand to the office or your class teacher on Monday 17th December or the morning of Tuesday 18th.

  Meanwhile, some of our P5, P6 and P7 pupils will be showcasing their vocal talents and cheering up shoppers at Tesco on Tuesday, when they take to the store to sing some Christmas songs. Be sure to join in if you happen to see them!

• FRIDAY is the date for our P3-P7 Outdoor Christmas Concert. After the fabulous P1 & P2 performances last week, it’s the turn of the older children to entertain their parents and carers with a selection of Christmas songs. The concert starts at 11am and be sure to wrap up!

  Friday is the last day of term too. Please remember the school closes at 12 NOON.
  

Christmas Jumper Day – 14th Dec

On Friday 14th December, the school is taking part in Save The Children’s Christmas Jumper Day – so if you have a jersey which is so tinselly that it’d put Rudolph off his carrots, be sure to wear it!

If you would like to wear a Christmas jumper to school on the 14th – or even a Santa hat or reindeer antlers – please bring in a donation of  £1 which will help Save the Children’s work around the world.
