Scrapbooking:

In previous years, graduating students have created a scrapbook of their years at primary school for display of the night and as a keepsake. This will still be an option this year.

To get prepared for the scrapbook you can start collecting photos of student’s time at school for them to add. An example of a scrapbook is in Miss Hamilton’s classroom. Students will be allocated some time at school to prepare for these but may need to finish them at home. Students can bring in their scrap books on Monday the 26th of November and will be given time between the 26th of November and the 18th of December to complete their scrapbooks.

Signature keepsakes:

Some students like to collect signatures and comments from classmates and staff on the night. This is not compulsory but could consist of anything from a page in their scrapbook to a signature bear.

Any questions, please speak to a member of the Senior PLT.

Kind regards,

Mr Ahern, Miss Hamilton, Miss Atkins and Miss King.
