There are a number of exciting things happening across the school that we’d like to share with you!

In Primary 1, many parents have been visiting for our successful ‘Stay and Play’ sessions.  These will continue into November.  P1 parents can come Wednesdays from 9:00 – 9:45am.

  Primary 2 have begun the ‘Read Write Inc.’ literacy programme, which is designed to create fluent readers, confident speakers and willing writers.  The boys and girls are really enjoying their work!  Primary 1, 3 and 4 will begin towards the end of November.

  Primary 4 and Primary 7 enjoyed a trip to Perth for a Scots reading of Fantastic Mr Fox.  Children watched the film and reviewed using Scots language.

Primary 5 have a new class member – Junior the snail!  The children have been learning how to care for him and have been excitedly sharing this with children across the school.

Primary 6 (along with those in Craigbank and Fishcross) are currently participating in the Youth Music Initiative Clackmannanshire Brass Project.  All children have been given an instrument to take home.  The children are learning how to play them in school and will demonstrate their skills along with the other schools in a performance later in the school year.

  Primary 7 children will be involved in the ‘Max in the Middle’ project next week.  Across the week, the class will focus on various scenarios regarding healthy living: preparing and tasting food; being physically active; reflecting on their experiences, and transforming their learning into a drama and dance-based performance for parents and carers on Friday 4^th November.
