World Book Day 2023

World Book Day – Thursday 2nd March

Dear Parent/Carers,

Book Swap

To celebrate World Book Day we are holding a Book Swap on Thursday 2nd March. Pupils are invited to bring in to school any unwanted books from home. Pupils will then have the opportunity to visit the Book Swap stall on Thursday to choose a new book to take home. Please can we ask that books are brought in to school by Monday 27th of February in order to allow teachers time to organise the Book Swap stall.

Stop, Drop and Read

Over the course of the day next Thursday, pupils will be invited to stop what they are doing and take out their book when they hear the ‘Stop, Drop and Read’ sound. Your child may wish to bring in their favourite book from home for this or they may choose to read their library book or AR book.

£1 Book tokens

 All pupils will receive a World Book Day book token to bring home next Thursday. These can be redeemed for a free World Book Day book at the following shops:

  • Asda
  • Morrisons
  • Sainsburys
  • Tesco
  • The Works
  • Waterstones
  • WHSmith.

Thank you for your continued support .

Principal Teacher

Dear Parent/Carer,

As you know Sanderson’s Wynd Nursery is open during the February week from Monday 13 – Friday 17 February 2023, when the schools are closed. During this time, your child will be able to attend on their usual days, either Monday/Tuesday/Friday or Wednesday/Thursday. Monday 20 February is an in-service day – school and nursery are closed to pupils. School and Nursery will resume as normal on Tuesday 21 February 2023.

If your child will not attend during the February week or to report an absence

Please use the link below to inform us if your child will not attend nursery during part or all of the February week by Wednesday 8 February 2023.

https://eastlothianconsultations.co.uk/education/february-attendance-2023

During the February week, normal attendance protocols are in place and you should report any absences. As the school office will be closed from 12pm on Friday 10 February until Tuesday 21 February 2023 and the school absence line will not be staffed during this time, please email nurseryattendance@elcschool.org.uk in the first instance, or if this isn’t possible, telephone 07718662056 to report the absence.

If you haven’t informed us your child will not attend nursery during the period mentioned above and your child does not attend, a member of nursery attendance staff will contact you to find out the reason for absence. Please let us know in advance if your child will be absent.

Please ensure you have booked your child’s lunches in SchoolPay before Monday 13 February 2023, for days your child is attending. Friday 17 February 2023 is a Friday for the Monday/Tuesday group – please bear this in mind if you need to order a lunch for that day.

Questions or Queries

When schools are closed during holiday periods, our Centre Manger Danielle Sackree is the lead in our nursery setting. As always, the first point of contact is the nursery staff to support you with any initial questions or queries you may have, but if you need to speak to our Centre Manager, the nursery staff will put you in touch.
