M&M Productions will be in school on Friday 4 November at 9.30 a.m. with their production of “Sleeping Beauty”.

A contribution of £2.00 per child can be paid through ParentPay.

Thank you.

Please note that if you are still having difficulty placing your child’s lunch order on ParentPay, please contact the school office by 9.15 a.m. who will be able to place the order for you.

Your child has been issued today with their annual EV5 form.

Thank you.

From Monday the 29^th August, all EA Catering Services Primary Schools will provide free fruit during morning interval for our young people to promote healthy eating as part of their 5 day. A variety of fresh fruit will be available from the canteen in all primary schools for our young learners to enjoy.

Freshly prepared soups home baking, dessert, milk and water will be available at lunch time in accordance with the weekly menus. All main meals at lunch time will be served with 2 choice vegetable/salad garnish.

To help celebrate Roald Dahl day we ask children to come dressed as their favourite  Roald Dahl character on Wednesday 14 September. Roald Dahl’s books were about children being kind and caring even when life is super tough.

We are not asking for a donation from the children as a donation from the school staff  will be sent to support the Roald Dahl charity for children who are seriously ill and being brave. If anyone wishes to contribute, a box will be available just inside the front door of the main school entrance.

Being brave is about feeling scared but carrying on anyway. Being kind is being kind and generous to someone else. The nurses, who look after sick children, are super kind and are amazing!

Can you discuss with your child about a time when they have been kind or brave to help us to celebrate on 14 September.

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.
