On Wednesday 16th January at 7pm, Pauline Moriarty, founder of local Scottish Registered charity ‘Beautiful Inside & Out’ (Scio) shall deliver an outline of the background, aims and services of the charity, with discussion of ways in which all adults can promote positive mental health in our young people.

The school has strong links with the charity and would urge parents to come along and listen to Pauline talk about her personal journey and the development of the charity – its services were even praised by Theresa May during PM Question Time recently.

Primary 3a have been learning British Sign Language with Miss Caldow.

They have started to teach the whole school how to sign A Million Dreams at assembly today.  We can’t wait to learn the full song.

Well done to all the children who were recognised for being Superstars at assembly today – what a great start to 2019!!

Our children in the ECC and Primary 1 are going to be becoming very familiar with this bright and colourful character over the next few weeks.  If we are very good, he may even come to visit us with Nan and Betty McCoo too.

The staff have been working hard to prepare some fantastic and creative learning experiences for the children with a focus on literacy but also covering a wide range of other curricular areas.  We are looking forward to welcoming Shirley Husband, the author of the McCoo books, to introduce our topic to the children on Tuesday morning.

The children really enjoyed sharing their learning experiences with me and each other with a drink of juice and a biscuit this morning 😊

Huge congratulations to Sam McCallum in Primary 7! After the regional qualifiers in Ayr during November, his superb time for 50m Freestyle means he has qualified for the Scottish Schools Championships later this month. He will be representing Gargieston at Tollcross in Glasgow on the 26th January.

Good luck, Sam and enjoy every minute of the day!
