Sports Day 2025
Our Sports Day was held today at the Glens Park. We were very grateful of the lovely weather we had!
Each of our House teams led a victory march around the pitch to kick start our Sports Day celebrations.
A huge thank you to our parents and carers who came along to cheer on and support our children as they competed in their class flat races and novelty races as well as our upper house relays.
The Sports Day points will be added to the shields and our overall winning House will be announced at our annual Prize Giving on Wednesday 18th June.
A huge thank you to the Glens Park for hosting our Sports Day and allowing us to use your facilities!
Working Mens Club – Home Energy Scotland
On Monday 12th May, between 10-11am, Home Energy Scotland will be at the Working Mens Club to provide a top up for those on a prepay meter for their gas and electric.
We know this will be a huge support to many of our families.
Thank you Heather and Sheryl for letting us know about this.
Sun Safety
At Get Together this morning we discussed sun safety. ☀️
With this lovely weather we have been having, it is important our young people remember to:
Slip 👕
Slop 🧴
Slap 🧢
Slide 🕶️
Shade ☂️
Please ensure your child comes to school with a sun hat/sunglasses and sun cream applied in the morning. It would also be useful if they had a bottle of sun cream (with their name on) in their school bags so they can apply it to themselves later in the day.

Rehearsals
Please note that rehearsals will run on a Monday 3-4pm (song practise) and a Wednesday 3-5pm (full stage rehearsals). It is important that all cast members attend. If your child cannot attend a rehearsal, please be courteous and let Mrs McNulty know.
Stage Hands
We are looking for children who would be keen to attend rehearsals to support us with props and staging. If your child would be interested in this, please contact Mrs McNulty by email.
Swimming Lessons
We are delighted to share with you that due to a successful funding application to the Small Wind Farms, every child in our school will receive a 4 week block of swimming at our local swimming pool. Please see the timetable below of when your child’s class will attend.
On your child’s swimming days they must bring in a bag:
- A towel
- Swimsuit/shorts
- Goggles (if they wish to use them)
Parent helpers to support the walking to and from the pool have been arranged, however, they cannot support with the changing of any of our pupils, other than their own.
We ask that if any parents/carers of our infant classes (P1, P1/2, P2/3) wish to come to the pool to support with the changing of their OWN CHILD ONLY prior to or after the lesson is finished, please see the timings below. The class teacher will also be on hand to support with the changing of our infant classes.
Please note that there will not be any phone calls made home for missing swimming bags, as we are sure you can appreciate how busy our office is. Any child who does not have the appropriate kit will sit pool side with their class teacher during the 30 minute lesson.
A huge thank you again to the Small Wind Farms for their generous donation, we know our families will be extremely grateful of their child receiving the opportunity of lessons at no cost to them. ❤
