Scottish Poetry Competition

It’s time for our annual Scottish Poetry competition!

All children should now have received a poem home to practise. Class teachers will be going over the poem in classes and will judge the children’s poetry recital based on their knowledge, pronunciation and performance of the poem. For each class, 3 finalists will be chosen by Monday 26th January and these children will go forward to be judged by our guest judges on Friday 30th January when a winner shall be chosen for each class.

Class winners will be invited to perform their poem at assembly on Friday 6^th February.

January 12, 2026 Mrs Milne Leave a comment

Our P5 staff are considering a visit to the Titanic Experience in Belfast on 9th June 2026. The children would leave the school at 8:45am and return at approximately 11:30pm. The cost of this trip would be between £88-£90 per person. At this time we are looking for feedback to find out if parents would be interested in their child attending a trip to the Titanic Experience. Please complete the form by following the link below and submit it to the school no later than Friday 16th January at 3:00pm.
