Scots Poetry Competition

We have been delighted at the number of children who have practised their Scots poem in front of the class. This week we will choose one winner from each class so pupils will be given the chance to perform again if they wish to take part. Your teacher will let the class know when this will be but all winners will be chosen by Friday 31st January.

Happy New Year

We look forward to welcoming you all back to school on Monday (6th January), after a well deserved break. Thank you very much for gifts we received.

Homework will resume next week.

Please make sure children are dressed appropriately for the weather and make sure all hats and gloves are labelled, we sent so many to lost property before Christmas. It would be appreciated if a spare pair of socks could be popped in the children’s bags so they can change in the event of soggy feet.
