We would be delighted if you could donate any non perishable foods, toiletries or any of the items listed above. We will collect these items in school and they will be collected later in the month by Father Martin to be distributed at the foodbank .
On Wednesday children in Primary 1-3 had a fantastic afternoon sharing their favourite books and completing some lovely activities. Everyone also enjoyed a glass of milk and cookie. Thank you to Primary 7 who were brilliant helpers.
We look forward to sharing our pictures of this great afternoon.
A reminder that children should be in their line for school starting at 9am.
Increasingly we are seeing more children arriving to school after 9am and coming in via the main entrance. This means that children are missing the initial items that are taking place first thing in the morning. Going forward it is important that children arrive to school on time unless prior arrangements have been put in place.
We are delighted to let you know that our each of our classes will be attending Advent Services at Our lady of Mount Carmel church during December. We have really missed attending church in recent times and are looking forward to the forthcoming services with Father Martin.
The Sisters will also be completing services in school during this time.
We are delighted to say that we will be running our
“Reverse Advent Calendar”
appeal this year.
As of week beginning Monday 29th November, we will be accepting foodbank donations into the school .
Please ensure that all food donations are non perishable.
We know from previous years that donations of male/female toiletries are also very much appreciated and tend to be in shorter supply at local food banks.
Tomorrow (24th November), following on from Book Week(Scotland), the Primary 1-3’s will be having a pyjama and story afternoon. Children in P 1-3- only, are invited to come to school in their pyjamas if they wish and can also bring a book with them .

We are in the process of organising our annual class festive calendars. These will be available to order as of today through Parentpay at a cost of £2 per each. Orders will be handed out to pupils week beginning 20th December.
We have tried our very best to include every pupil in our class calendar but this has proven tricky this year due to the number of children currently off throughout the school. We appreciate your understanding.
The last day for ordering your calendar is Friday 10th December!
If you have been sent a letter from the NHS regarding sending your child for a PCR test we kindly request that you send a copy of a negative result before your child returns to school. This can be emailed to:
Primary 2/3 have been looking at ‘Energy Around Us’ as part of our new topics. We have been focussing on toys that need to be ‘pushed’ or ‘pulled’ to move. This week we made our very own ‘Penny Spinners’ which require a pushing twist action to get it to move. We moved into the open area to find a large smooth surface to test our spinners. Have a look at our wonderful designs and finished spinners…
Primary 1, 2 and 3 have been doing some quiet reading this week and had a lovely end to Book Week Scotland, by being gifted their Book Bag. Activities will carry on into next week when we will have a special activity afternoon on Wednesday, based on the books in each of the Book Bags!

We are pleased to announce that on Friday 19th November children in Primary 1 will receive their Bookbug Family Bag and children in Primary 2 and Primary 3 will receive their Read Write Count bags.
The children will bring these home to share with you. We would be grateful if you were able to take some photographs and send these to the class teacher. If you are happy we would then like to share these photographs on our blog too.
As you will remember from our November Newsletter we will have a special afternoon of activities on Wednesday 24th November. Children in P1-3 can come to school dressed in their pyjamas, bring a cuddly toy and bring their favourite book from the gifted bags. The teachers have planned a lovely afternoon for the boys and girls. The Primary 7 children will be there to help the children enjoy the activities as well as milk and cookies.
