Assembly report by Evie McGougan and Mrs Duncan

The children have been working very hard this week in a range of curricular areas. We have also seen that some of the children have demonstrated the school values this week and received awards for this . Other reasons for awards included great decoding skills, making sure the presentation of work is high quality, being a positive role model and high quality narrative writing. Mrs Gray also gave awards for great work in P.E this included care and control with a football, and showing brilliant determination in golf.

Thank you to everyone that was able to join us in church today for our Easter Service. Unfortunately, there were some gremlins in the church sounds system but the children all coped brilliantly with this and sang the 3 songs we had been learning really well. Our P7 readers also shared the Easter story through their readings. Well done.
Thank you to the Reverend Wilson for sharing her Easter message with the children too.
Have a lovely Easter break everyone and thank you for all your support over what has been a very busy term.
