AUTHOR VISIT – 7TH MARCH

Exciting News! P4-7 Author Visit – Friday 7th March

We are really excited about an upcoming event in our school.  We have invited the author Simon Lamb to visit our school to lead an assembly for P4-7 pupils.  Simon is a really funny and engaging author and we are so lucky to have him coming to visit.  Each pupil will be allowed to invite along one adult guest if they wish to do so.  There will be an opportunity to buy Simon’s book as Sarah from the Book Nook will be accompanying Simon on the day.  Pupils will be asked to preorder the book prior to the visit and the first 33 children to preorder will be involved in a workshop taken by Simon following the assembly. More details to follow!

MISSING JACKETS!

Please check that your child has the correct jacket as we have a few children who have lost their jackets. Some missing jackets do have names on them, eg, inside pockets etc.

Many thanks.

URGENT! CHESS UPDATE

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will have to cancel the junior chess event planned for Tuesday 17th December 2024 to be held at Greenwood

We hope to start them again in the New Year and will advise you when that is planned

We are delighted to announce that the disco raised £637, £500 of which we will donate to our reading resource campaign, with the rest added to our general fundraising pot. We appreciate all of your support.

    A special thank you goes to Mr Howie for his amazing experiments, Miss Orr, Mrs Beveridge and Mr Gilroy for keeping the disco flowing, our P7 volunteers who helped run the door and support our younger pupils, and our brilliant helpers who applied glitter tattoos and staffed the tuck shop and lucky dip. We hope wehaven’t missed anyone but we really appreciate everyone’s efforts to make the night so much fun for our children.
