Well done to all our pupils who learned their Scottish poetry and Base songs. Thanks also to Mr. McDowell and some of the guitar elective pupils who accompanied the Base 4 song.  Well done to all!!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter our McCoo statue naming competition. We held the draw this afternoon. Now, I don’t know what the odds of this happening are. But, Ruaridh picked the name RUARIDH MCCOO out the hat! So there we have it our McCoo has got a name. All we need is for Steven Brown to add our McCoo to his clan. Fingers crossed.

Well done to Annie McDowell, P4, who received her wider achievement certificate today for her achievement in gymnastics.

Congratulations to our Superstars who received their certificates at assembly on Monday.

Well done to all our children who shared their Wider Achievements with us at assembly.  What a lot of talented children we have!
