It has been a couple of weeks since we updated our blog and as always it has been a very busy time at Longhaugh Primary School. Hopefully this blog will sum up everything that has been going on!

Reporting to Parents

Reports have been issued and follow up parent/teacher interviews have also taken place. Feedback from reports have been positive overall. All comments are read and hopefully any concerns have been addressed. If you did not manage to make Parents’ evening but would still like a chance to discuss the progress of your child please put a not in the diary and the class teacher will get back to you to organise a suitable time.

Week Beginning 6th May

Last week was another really busy week. I know Mr.Munro was a little frustrated as he had a number of appointments out of school which meant he was about as much as he would have liked. However this week seems a little more settled and hopefully there will be more tweets and Mr. Munro able to see more of you all.

By the end of this week report cards will be issued. You will also be offered a time for parent/teacher interview on Monday 19th May.

Highlight of last week was certainly the primary 7 World War II exhibition. Well done to all the pupils and staff for such a successful event.

Netball Team

Well done to our netball team. Each week they represent our school with pride and never let us down.

Football Team

Our school team also played a couple of times this week. On Thursday they had a great match and a fine result against Ballumbie Primary school.

Primary 7 Competition Winners

Recently our primary 7 pupils entered a city wide art competition. This was to design a venue for the Dundee Waterfront. Two of our pupils were winners. Sian and Liam accompanied by family and Mrs. Corstorphine to a presentation in town through the week. We are very proud of them.
