Today Mrs Baillie was truly a very naughty head teacher today, pranking our poor pupils! Not even just once… but twice!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First Mrs Baillie tried to convince them all that since some had been off with Covid this past term, they would have to come in over the Easter holidays and make up their time doing numeracy and literacy! Some of Miss McNicoll’s older pupils were a bit too savvy for it but poor Miss Douglas’s class fell for the act! (Give that teacher an Oscar!) The joke was quickly revealed and we all breathed a sigh of relief that we would get to enjoy our 2 weeks + a day off!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Did she stop there…? Oh no, Certainly not!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs Baillie was back at it again after break with a very official letter dictating that due to our planting our trees and bushes in the playground, the council were going to refuse to cut the grass around them so we had to trawl out with our trusty scissors and rulers to ensure all the grass was at the recommended 5cm! This time, we got em’ all!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There was much amusement to the staff about this, as you can see from the many photos but it did descend into a sticky willy war as the pupils understandably realised how utterly ridiculous they looked!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please enjoy these photos of them at their best for your own amusement!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
