This morning we talked about our school values – resilience,safety, fun, tolerance, respect, nurturing and effort.
Next week we will be presenting our merit awards for children who have consistently demonstrated these values throughout September.
We also talked about how smart everyone looks wearing school uniform for school photos yesterday and it is great to see almost everyone in school uniform today.
Every child who wears school uniform every day that they are in school during September, and every month thereafter, will earn themselves and extra playtime next week.
We said well done to Leah, Chloe P, Daniel, Layton and Dylan P for taking part in Cross Country League Race 1.
Primary 4 were awarded certificates of participation for Fun Fours last Friday.
We wish P5 girls all the best in the Girls Only Fun Fours Festival this afternoon.
Well done everyone. We are very proud of you.

As part of our school improvement plan we are committed to trying to make sure all learners from across stages receive quality outdoor learning.
Outdoor learning can take place in our surrounding countryside, our local community or simply by taking learning out into our playground, and can support other curricular areas such as Numeracy, Literacy and Health and Wellbeing.
We are trying to create a bank of parents, carers and family memberswho would be willing to support outdoor lessons.
If you would like to support our children by taking part in outdoor learning sessions please contact Mr Patterson via school office or Class Dojo.
Welcome back to all children and families from P2 to P7 and a very warm welcome to our new children and families in Primary 1.
