World Book Day 2025

Leave a comment
World book day will be celebrated in school on THURSDAY 6TH MARCH!  We would like to invite all our children to come to school that day either dressed up as a book character or snuggled up dressed in their pyjamas for a bedtime story.
In the lead up to World Book Day we will be hosting our annual Scholastic Book Fair.  Children will have the opportunity to visit the fair with their class and write their “wish list” of books.  If you wish to purchase books from your child’s wish list you can do so by following instructions to online payment that will be given out to children at the book fair.

Finally, it wouldn’t be World Book Day without a story themed competition!  Our Reading Schools Ambassadors are setting a challenge for children to CREATE A CHARACTER TATTIE!  At home, find your best looking tattie and transform it into a literary character… a Harry Potter tattie, a Gruffalo tattie, maybe even a Tracey Beaker tattie… use your imagination and get creative!  Please bring all finished tatties to school for judging by WEDNESDAY 5TH MARCH!  There will be a winner and a runner up from our infant school (P1, P1/2, P2/3), our middle school (P3/4, P4, P4/5), and our senior school (P5, P6, P7) so plenty of prizes up for grabs!

Happy reading!

A huge thank you to our talented young people, brilliant local performers and all in our school community who joined us for our 3rd annual Burns Family Night!

We love having the opportunity to welcome everyone in to showcase the work and talents of our young people, and with the title of ‘Scots Schuil and Scots Teacher of the Year 2025’ to our name, we really do have a lot of talent to share!

The evening was a huge success, the profits of which will go towards our P7 Residential Trip.

We thank you for your continued support!

Tasty treats for our guests to enjoy.
