What a busy December we have had here at Moorfoot Primary School! We have had our drumming performances, a nursery Christmas Stay and Play, our school show Cinderella and Rockerfella, our Christmas lunch, our Wider Achievements Assembly, a trip to the Fairy Trail at Archerfield, a Christmas Service at the Village Hall, a Christmas Movie afternoon, Christmas parties and a whole school trip to the Lyceum Theatre to see Wendy and Peter Pan. We have even had visits from Santa Claus!
We enjoyed a whole school Christmas Sing-along this morning where each class has put forward two of their favourite Christmas hits.
May I take this opportunity to wish everyone connected to Moorfoot Primary School a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2019 when it comes.
I look forward to welcoming the children back to school on Tuesday 8th January.
Kind regards,
Lynsey Stevenson
Following the recent visit of the NSPCC to Moorfoot PS, they have provided some helpful information for parents and carers.
The materials shared are designed to help parents of all primary school aged children.
SHARE AWARE
A resource for parents aimed at keeping children safe on social networks – information here

UNDERWEAR RULE
The NSPCC Schools Service recently visited our school to provide the children with key messages about keeping safe. It can be beneficial for these messages to be reinforced at home.
The NSPCC has developed some guides for all parents of primary school aged children to speak to your child about keeping safe – called the Underwear rule.
 You can find guides to the Underwear Rule to help you have simple conversations about keeping safe from abuse at www.nspcc.org.uk/underwear
 You can speak to an advisor for further advice or request a hard-copy guide for parents and carers by phoning the NSPCC Helpline on 0808 800 5000. You can also visit www.nspcc.org.uk/parents for other advice on keeping your child safe.
