Mrs Mckee and the teachers found it difficult to choose superstars as everyone is trying really hard with their activities at home. We are therefore going to try something different next week to share more examples of the fantastic learning you are all doing at home. More details will follow from Mrs McKee by email.

iCycle Training
Mr McDowell and Mr Stewart organise iCycle training for our Primary 6 children each year. This training is delivered after school from 3.30 until 4.30pm over 8 weeks commencing w/b 9th March. This year, we have 47 children interested in taking part. We are absolutely delighted with the level of interest but this means we will need to deliver the training in 2 groups. Mr McDowell and Mr Stewart are happy to offer their time to lead the training on a Wednesday and a Thursday after school but we need your help to ensure it can go ahead.
Please indicate on the drop down below if you could offer your time to support our children in their iCycle training. We welcome help from parents / carers from any stage in the school.
Thank you
P7 Leavers Hoodies 2020
Example of previous hoodie
As you will know in the past few years, it has become a tradition for the P7 children to have the opportunity to buy a leavers’ hoodie. We are now looking at the ones for the Class of 2020!
Even if your child does not wish to have one, could you still indicate below whether or not you are happy for their name to appear on the back of the hoodie. You will be asked to select a size too. We have arranged for samples to be in the school and staff are happy to help the children choose the appropriate size, however, we are only too happy for you to come in at 3.15 pm to see the sizes for yourself.
Child sizes will cost £15.50, with VAT added for the adult sizes i.e. £18.60. PLEASE ENSURE CORRECT AMOUT IS ENTERED ON PARENTPAY.
Last year the authority instructed us to recall all the chords from the Adult sized hoodies due to Health and Safety, so this year we are also asking you for permission to remove the chords before we send them home. Child sizes do not have this design.
