To celebrate the end of term, this Friday, we will be hosting a whole school FAB Friday Get Together, where we will be recognising the Wider Achievements of our pupils .
We want to hear about your child’s successes! Please bring in your certificates, medals or stories about your achievements from this Term.

Parent Council Easter Events
Our Parent Council have decided to hold a drawing competition and a Dress Down Day to raise funds for class trips next term.
Your child will be bringing home an entry sheet today, where they are to design either an Easter egg or an Easter bonnet. The closing date for entries is Friday 22nd March. All entries should be handed in to class teachers and the winners will be chosen later that day by the Parent Council and will be awarded a prize which has kindly been donated by the Gospel Hall.
This Friday 22nd March, the Parent Council will be hosting a Dress Down Day. The cost for this is £2 a child. Please note, no football strips should be worn. When your child hands in their donation, they will be given a raffle ticket which will enter them into a draw to win one of our Easter hampers.
A huge thank you to our Parent Council for organising these events!
World Down Syndrome Day 2024
Thursday 21st March is World Down Syndrome Day and we would like to celebrate and raise awareness by joining the #lotsofsocks campaign, coming to school wearing odd socks, or bright and colourful socks!
Donations can be made through ParentPay and all money raised will be sent to the charity Down Syndrome Scotland.
‘Respectme’ – Scotland’s Anti-Bullying Service
We ran a couple of competitions across the school to find a winning mascot design and a winning poster design to represent the ‘respectme’ program within our school. The level of entries were fantastic and it was difficult to come to a final decision on both, but we finally decided on Connie’s (P3) mascot design of her ‘Bee Kind’ bumble bee – caring, kind, friendly, gentle, happy.
Jorjie’s (P7) poster was chosen as the winning entry, with her play on words, clever use of acrostic presentation and the inclusion of ‘respectme’ within her design.
Even though we hadn’t advertised for a school motto, we had an entry from Aleesha (P7) that we just had to use:
Stop Bullying!
Don’t Stand By!
Stand Up!
Stand Strong!
Stand Together!
Very well done to our winners! Your work will be a permanent fixture in our school for all pupils, staff and visitors to see for a long time to come.
During parents afternoon/evening we will have a stand set up to promote the ‘respectme’ program. People will be on hand to answer any questions and to direct you to the website which is full of very useful information and resources. Prefects will also be on hand to explain the learning that has been taking place across the school, which has complimented our nurturing school ethos.
Questionnaires were posted at the start of the initiative so that we could work towards filling any obvious gaps. These were sent to staff, pupils and parents. Now we are at the point of posting these questionnaires again in order to measure the impact of this program within our school community. Parental questionnaires will be posted on the blog soon. Your input is valuable to us; therefore, if you can spare five minutes of your time to do this, it would be very much appreciated. If anyone needs support accessing this, iPads will be available at our stand on parent’s afternoon/evening and someone will assist you.
NCPS Parents Evening 27/3/24

World Book Day 2024 UPDATE
Apologies for the error in the previous post, World Book Day will be celebrated on THURSDAY next week, 7th March.
A wee reminder that chidlren are encouraged to come to school dressed as a book character or wearing their pyjamas and bringing their favourite bedtime story.
On Monday next week, children will be visiting the Book Fair with their class to make their wish list. Parents/carers then have the opportunity to purchase the books online. (Instructions will be noted on the wish list sent home.)
Next Tuesday, we will be selling Bargain Books from the Book Fair, priced £2 or less. These will be cash only sales as these books cannot be reordered once purchased. Children will be given the chance to purchase from the Bargain Books stall on Tuesday only, so please send them with money on this day, should they wish to look.
We will be holding our Big Book Swap on Thursday. If you have any old books in good condition that your child no longer reads, please send them into school, any day from Monday. Mrs Clarke will issue your child with a ticket which will enable to be first to visit the book swap on Thursday to choose a new book.
In addition to this, running all of next week, we are having a ‘GET CAUGHT READING’ competition, where children are to upload a photograph of themselves reading in a different or unusual place, and add this to their Learning Journals as a Parental Contribution.
Our P7 Reading Schools Champions will then review the uploads and will choose a winner to receive a free book from the Book Fair! These photos must be uploaded by Wednesday and the winner will be shared on World Book Day, on Thursday.
Celebrating World Book Day 6/3/24
On Wednesday 6th March we will be celebrating World Book Day at school.
Children are invited to come to school dressed as a character from a book or to come dressed in their pyjamas bringing their favourite bedtime story.
The Book Fair will be arriving at school that week. Children will visit the Book Fair with their class and will create a ‘Wish List’ that they will bring home. Parents/carers, then have the opportunity to make any purchases online, should they wish.
On World Book Day, we will be holding a ‘Big Book Swap’. If your child has any books they no longer read, which are in good condition, they can bring them to school on the Wednesday, to swap for a new book which they can take home.
