Dear Parents and Carers of West Barns Primary

The Parent Council are hoping to hold a Halloween Party on the above date in the school.  There will be lots of spooky fun & games for pupils from Primary 1 to 7 and further details will be sent home via a flyer in school bags.

We are looking for volunteers to help either in the lead up or on the night i.e. setting up the hall, making spooky snacks or playing some Halloween themed games.  If you have any spooky or scary skills please don’t be shy – you will be in much demand!  Also, you may have a skill that you may not realise we are looking for… Are you a budding DJ / Compare?  If you are able to help in any way please complete the slip below and hand it to any Parent Council member, or Lorna at the office by the 7th October.  We will then be organising ourselves in terms of who is doing what!

Your support and generosity is important as all monies raised go directly to the benefit of our children.

Thanks you for your help.

The sun shone on West Barns on Friday and both events were a great success.  Sports Day included an interesting addition of a parents’ egg & spoon race!  The sale of refreshments raised £165 towards the Playground Fund.

A few hours later we were back on the playing fields!  The rain held off and we were able to enjoy the view, the company and the queue for burgers!!  A fantastic £210 was raised, which again will go towards the Playground Fund.

Thanks to everyone that helped in any way.  It was certainly a very busy day but a great day to be part of West Barns Primary School.

Have a great holiday and see you next year for some more fun events.

Dear Parents & Carers of West Barns Primary

As you know and weather permitting the above fun filled events are due to be held on Friday 24^th June.

Sports Day – The Parent Council will be selling teas and coffees, home baking as well as juice and crisps.  Your generous donations of home baking will be warmly received – you can bring them along on the day or hand them into the office on Thursday.  Please come along and cheer the pupils on.

BBQ – Proving to be a very popular event.  For a small fee you can enjoy burgers, sausages, strawberries and scones.  There will also be juices for the children.  This event is not licensed but you are welcome to bring your own. 

There will also be a raffle and again your generous donations are requested.  They can be handed into the office or brought along on the night.

Please come along and hopefully enjoy the sun!

If you wish to help at the BBQ please speak to any member of the Parent Council.

All monies raised will go towards West Barns Playground Fund.

Thank you

More details on both these events to follow and obviously are dependant on the weather.

If you are able to help at either of these events please speak to any member of the Parent Council

Come along to experience a taste of the Mediterranean.  Included in the ticket price of £5 (available at door) you will be able to take away some high quality Parma Ham, which will be hand sliced for you on the night, a mouth watering recipe book to add to your collection, and a chance to sample some fantastic wines and ports.  Additional stalls will be provided by Jamie at Home and Rock Lobster Chocolates.

The Spring  Ceilidh was a great success with lots of super dancing, fantastic food, a great raffle, as well as a chance to win a bottle of whisky.  A good time was had by all who attended and £317.12 was raised towards the West Barns Playground Fund.  The Parent Council would like to thank everyone who contributed in any way to making the first West Barns Spring Ceilidh such a good night.
