Dunblane Remembered
Primary 7 children represented Galston Primary at the Dunblane Memorial Service on Friday 13th March. The pupils laid roses during the service and were thoughtful representatives.
Primary 4 Open Afternoon
Primary 4 enjoyed their experience of leading their open afternoon with pupils being the teachers of the various activities at each of the stations. They started with the housekeeping and directions which included where the nearest fire exits were and what to do in the event the alarm sounded to how long they had planned for parents to be at each station, what they were learning and why. All of this took place before the visitors were taken to their starting station and the activities they had designed.
Well done Primary 4

Parent Teacher Appointments
Have you made your parent appointment for the 26th March 2026 yet?
Please make sure you telephone the school office to arrange a time to come and speak to your child’s teacher. See the progress they have made. The children’s work is available to see, both jotter and displayed work. We know the children enjoy showing off what they have done, parents enjoy seeing the progress they have made and so we look forward to seeing you there.
The Book Fair is also available in the hall. We are a cashless school so payment is made via the Book Fair QR code on your phone.
Bikeability
Mrs Fairbairn has completed a Bikeability Instructor training course with Cycling Scotland. We are hoping to run Level 1 for our P6 year group in Term 4 when the better weather arrives, in conjunction with Active Schools and Bikeability Scotland.
Within Level 1 – Riders learn how to prepare for a journey, check their bike and equipment are safe, and develop control skills, good observations and decision making. They also learn the importance of sharing space responsibly with other people. Training is completed in a traffic free setting.

As the ratio of adults to learners is set at a strict 1:15 for rider safety we would like to gauge interest in such a course to allow us to timetable sessions in the playground to accommodate P6 cyclists.
Please read the attached parents guide to become familiar with the course content and complete the questionnaire below.

World Book Day 5th March
Dear parent/carer
World Book Day is on Thursday 5th March. The children have been given their book tokens home to get a free World Book Day book or to get money off a more expensive book.
On Thursday there will be activities in classes relating to World Book Day and children are welcome to dress as a favourite book character. Please note you do not need to go out and buy a costume as the focus of the day is enjoyment of reading. No football strips should be worn, as with any dress down day, however comfortable clothes can be worn.
If your child has a favourite book, they wish to share then they can bring it in. We would kindly ask that their name is put inside to help identify their book.
We plan to have good fun and plenty of activities on the day.
Thank you for your continued support.
