Primary 5 pupils recently took part in a fabulous day of dance.  They had great fun practising their dances before the event and we are sure this will mean some great dancing can be expected at their Christmas party this year too!

It’s almost Christmas Party time!  Please note that the class party dates are as follows:

• Monday 17th – Primary 7 & Primary 6
• Tuesday 18th – Primary 5, Primary 4 & Primary 3
• Wednesday 19th – Primary 2 & Primary 1

Pupils in composite classes will attend their Christmas party with pupils in the same stage ie P3/2, pupils will attend either P3 or P2 party as appropriate.

All parties will take place after lunchtime.  Pupils can come to school on the day of their party in party clothes.  If you wish to take your child home at lunchtime to change, please send a letter into school advising.  All pupils going home are required to be collected via the school office.

Sleeping Beauty Pantomime at the Palace Theatre, Wednesday 5th December 2018.  Please be advised that we expect to return to school around 4pm.  Pupils will be dismissed from the gym hall, pupils will not be allowed to meet parents in the playground.  Please note that all pupils must be collected, no pupils will be permitted to walk home alone.

The children are so excited to welcome an extra special guest to the school this week! The Kindness Elf made an appearance in Primary 1, Room 2 this morning and over the next few weeks will be helping the children use kind words and demonstrate acts of kindness.  We are delighted to have the elf visit us and look forward to hearing stories from the children about the acts of kindness they will all be carrying out.
