LASSWADE PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWSLETTER Living it, learning it, loving it …… Lasswade SCIENCE FAYRE Thank you to all families who attended our recent Science Fayre. There was a real buzz about Lasswade during the day and the pupils were so excited to share their learning with their families in such a practical way. Thanks also for the fabulous feedback we received on the forms which were sent out. They were hugely positive and a real boost for staff and pupils. We appreciate the support given to Lasswade by our parents, friends and extended familes. A particular mention to Jillian Galbraith, scientist and Grandma of Beth Forrester (P2) – who responded to our appeal for family members with a background in science and came along to present at the showcase. After the Easter Holidays the whole school will have a focus on numeracy – Financial Education in particular. We would really appreciate input from anyone working in the banking / financial sector – more details to follow or email [email protected] if you would like to help!
