RED NOSE DAY 2023

We took part in Comic Relief 2023.  We raised the sum of £231.50!  We had a fun day and  we had lots of activities.  Mac in P6 guessed the number of sweets in the jar – 283 and Mia in P4 guessed the birthday of the teddy – 12th June.  Thank you to everyone who donated!

Our Scots Language Poetry Celebration

Our whole school focus on Scots language culminated with the sharing of poetry during our Scots Language Celebration Assembly. We are super proud of all of our children and young people who shared their learning in class and during the Assembly. They did this with confidence and demonstrated great skill in reciting poetry. Well done to every runner up and finalist.
Finally, here is the video with all of our young people. Can we please ask that you do not share this link thanks.
