Rowan came up with the name Salty Sam and this was chosen as the Stewartry winner.  Salty Sam was brought to school today for Rowan and her friends from P3 to see. The pupils also met Wee Dee Gee and got the opportunity to sit in the gritter.

Nursery News

Over the past two weeks while Miss Carson has been on her travels, Mrs Wixon has been in the nursery covering the topic of People Who Help Us.  After getting ideas from the children, we planned some fun filled activities together.

We focused on people who help us at home, in school and in the wider community.  We went on visits to the Health Centre and Post Office.  We also had a visit from the fire brigade, a first responder, a nanny and also some special people who help us in school.

We had some great learning experiences from this topic and would like to thank all of the people for helping us by telling us how they help other people.
