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!

Do you have books at home that you have out grown?

Do you books that you are too old for now?

Bring them into school by Thursday and donate then to our Big Book Bonanza .  The children can discover new authors, new stories and new favourites.  Books should be dropped off to Mrs Milne’s office by the children  or taken into class where they will be collected..

Thank you for all of your continued support.

Leave a comment

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!
