Sumdog have been running a national mental maths competition and our P6/7 class took on the challenge. They did very well and have finished 2nd in the United Kingdom and on Wednesday were the daily winners out of 1600 schools. In P7 Naomi was the class champion.
Autumn Disco Over 200 pupils came along to Autumn Disco on Wednesday and, if the heat in the hall is anything to go by, an energetic and fun time was had! Thank you to all the parents and staff who gave up their time to organise and run the Disco.
Pupil Council Certificates The Pupil Council held a competition to design our Bronze, Silver and Gold Award certificates for this year.

Our October holidays start this afternoon and we return for the Winter term on Monday 31st October. We wish everyone a happy holiday.
