World Book Day 5th March

Leave a comment

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.

Primary 6 Burns Supper

Leave a comment

Primary 6 enthralled the parents with their fabulous Burns Supper.  Having sent out their digital invitations to parents the young people impressed them with music, poetry, dance and speeches during the afternoon and there was haggis, neeps and tatties to enjoy as well.  A special thanks must go to Grants and Brownings for their wonderful donations towards the afternoon. Many thanks also to the parents who attended and who helped create such a good atmosphere  and response for the children.  Such a super time had by all!

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.
