P7 Transition

Good afternoon

I am delighted to inform you that we had two very positive, and productive, induction days for our new S1 pupils last week. As a year group they have made a good first impression on our staff and we are looking forward to welcoming them back officially as pupils of The Robert Burns Academy in August.

Over the summer you will receive a letter confirming your child’s Principal Teacher of Guidance and their PLP and practical class details. On their first day of school, I have asked all S1 pupils to make their way to Barony Hall, where they will be met by their senior guides and organised into their class groupings. Our staff will be stationed at the entrances to the building and at various points across the walkway to the school to assist anyone who needs help.

Please remember that there is information on our school blog that may be of interest to you.

I wish you all a safe and relaxing summer.

Primary 1 – 6 Prize Giving Presentations

We are delighted to have been able to get back to some sort of normality this week and invite a small number of parents into the school to celebrate successes with our children.  Although it was only a small percentage of children who could be presented with an award, EVERY single pupil, in our school, shine in their own way and we are proud of every one of them.

Primary 1 – Primary 3 Prize Giving

Primary 4 – Primary 6 Prize Giving

Primary 7  will be showcased in due course – their special Prize Giving day is tomorrow!

P1A, P1B, P2 and P2/3 Summer Outing

All of the classes had a fantastic day out at Dumfries House today and the children are all a credit to our school and their families.  We had an excellent day and this video says it all about the fun had by our P1A and some of our P1B children sneaked into some pictures.  Enjoy the short video.  I am sure the children would all be exhausted this evening because they never stopped the whole day.
