Parental Engagement Evening – Innovation and Creativity

A reminder we are having an open evening in the school on Tuesday 20th January from 6pm to 7pm. We will be showcasing some of the work being done at various stages across the school this session. Our theme is innovation and creativity. This is a drop-in session where you are able to visit the different bases and speak to some of the children about what they have been doing.
From 7pm -7.30pm, we will also have an information session for P7 parent/carers who are going on the residential in March. Information packs will be given out and sent home with children who’s parents/carers are unable to attend.
We look forward to welcoming you all there.

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

Final Day of Term

It has been a very busy term and we are all looking forward to the holidays.  This week has been one of the busiest with seven parties, a house treat, a nativity at the church service all rounded off by a dress down/pjs day watching the pantomime.  We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to making this a fantastic term.

School closes at 2:30 tomorrow and reopens on Monday 5th January at 9a.m. when we look forward to seeing everyone back, well rested and ready for a fabulous new year!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes!
