We are so excited to inform you all about our upcoming events!  Due to COVID mitigations recently being reduced we have been able to plan fun opportunities for our children, during this final stretch to the summer holidays 🙂

We are delighted that we can rebuild our partnership with Dumfries house who have kindly found space in their packed schedule for our P1-5 pupils for Farming themed workshops and play, despite having bookings from schools all over Central Scotland!  This matches perfectly with our WORLD OF WORK theme, which this year was all about local opportunities, which includes our farming community.

P1a P1b P2 and P2/3 will enjoy the Springwatch workshop at the farm, meeting a variety of animals, learning how to look after them and all about animal life cycles, as well as enjoying time in the STEM playground and new park!

P3 P4 and P5 will be visiting the RHET Festival of farming days at Dumfries House, taking part in workshops where they will be learning about the variety of careers available in agriculture and rural life, as well as enjoying and meeting a variety of animals including horses, pigs, chickens, bees, sheep and cows.

P7 TRANSITION INFORMATION EVENING

Leave a comment

Dear parent / carer 

I am pleased to share with you the link to our P7 Information Video. As we are currently unable to welcome large groups of parents to the school for a face-to-face information evening, we decided to record a video that you can view with your child instead. This video should answer many of the questions you may have about the final stages of our transition programme. 

The video can be viewed by clicking the link below:

Or through our school blog’s P7 Transition section:

We would also like to invite you to an online drop-in session on Wednesday 25th May from 6.30-7.30pm.  There will be no presentation or content shared during this session, this is an opportunity for parents and carers to ask any questions they may have. I would encourage you to watch the information video and look at the content on the P7 Transition page of our school blog in the first instance.   

You can join us for the online session via the following link:

We are so excited to announce that we are hosting  a Halloween Fun day on Friday 29th October, supported by our Parent Council!

Pupils are encouraged to come to school dressed up in their Halloween costumes and enjoy games, competitions and treats in class.

Each class will be awarding a “best costume” prize, voted for by the pupils.  Prizes are being donated by the Parent Council.

There will also be a “Design a Pumpkin” competition with the winner from each class being gifted their VERY OWN PUMPKIN!

It’s going to be SPOOKTACULAR!
