Scavenger Hunt

We are thrilled to share that our Rights Respecting Schools Committee has been diligently working behind the scenes to kick off preparations for our much-anticipated annual UNCRC Article Scavenger Hunt! This engaging event is a wonderful opportunity for students and the community to explore and understand the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in an interactive and fun way. The scavenger hunt encourages students to learn about their rights, promoting a school culture that values respect, understanding, and inclusivity. We are eager to foster a deeper appreciation of these important principles among our young learners. Stay tuned for more details, as we’ll be providing further information next week. Thank you for your ongoing support, and we look forward to another successful and enlightening event!

Road Safety Magic!

Primary 1 – 5 all had a magical time at Alans Magic Road Safety show today.  They gained their Official Magician’s Assistant certificates by knowing and demonstrating the road safety rules. Alan the magician showed us lots of magic while reminding us how to be safe when crossing the road.  Ask the children from P1 to P5 to tell you about what they learned.

Primary 5CM & Primary 5P

You are invited to attend a Parental Engagement Afternoon for our P5 classes on 19/3/25 from 2pm – 3pm. This is an opportunity to visit your child’s class and see the work that they have been doing in. This will also allow you to see the work they have been doing on their Titanic topic before their outing to Belfast on 24/4/25.
Thank you

World Book Day 6th March

On Thursday 6th March 2025 it is World Book Day.  We will be celebrating it throughout the day.  Children should come to school in uniform.  Teachers have planned book related activities and if children have used their book token (sent home in school bags Monday 24th February they can bring in their book to share with the class.  If the children have a favourite book they may bring that with them.

P3 Enterprise – Scottish Tuck Shop

   
Next week sees the return of the P3 Scottish Tuck Shop.  This was a very popular event last year and the children are keen to see it return.
The classes have a timetable of their tuck shop day as shown below:
Base 4 children and Mrs Smith’s P6/7 – Monday 17th
Base 3 children – Tuesday 18th
Base 2 children – Wednesday 19th (most of P3 have chosen to have this during their Parents Open Afternoon but they can have it for snack should they wish)
Primary 2 in Base 2 will be given a time slot before break to purchase items.
Base 1 children – Thursday 20th
On the last day, Friday 21st, the children will have an opportunity to buy from the tuck shop for the final time as a trolley will come round before break.
If possible please bring change with you for your items.
Items on sale will be Irn Bru/Red Kola, tablet, fudge, teacakes, snowballs and chew bars, to name but a few items!  We will also have a selection of cakes donated by Greggs but are unable to say at this point which day that will be as they are kindly donating these to school at some point next week.
Please note that this is a child led Enterprise activity therefore we would advise you discuss with your child beforehand if they have any allergies which items they would be able to purchase as we are unable to cater for all dietary requirements.
Prices will range from 20p to £1 although we do have a limited number of tablet and fudge boxes at £2 which retail between £2.75 to £3.00 normally.
Thank you for your support in this Enterprise Venture.
