Roald Dahl Day
We are going to celebrate “Roald Dahl” day on Wednesday 13 September. The teachers will prepare some activities for class and we thought it would be fun, for those who want to, to mark the day by also doing one of the following:
- dress up as a character from a Roald Dahl novel
- wear something yellow (his favourite colour!)
- wear some of your clothing backwards (seeing as Roald Dahl liked funny backwards words!)
There is NO need to buy anything new, this is just a little bit of fun to mark the author’s birthday.

NHS Update
Currently, parts of the UK and Europe are seeing an increase in the number of people getting measles. In response to this, Public Health Scotland (PHS) has prepared the attached letter to be distributed to parents and carers of P1 and S1 pupils. This raises awareness of the importance of the MMR vaccine in protecting against measles and provides information on what parents/carers can do to make sure their child is up-to-date with vaccinations. This letter is also available in Arabic, Mandarin, Punjabi, Polish, Ukrainian and Urdu (see QR code on letter directing to translated versions). Please see attached PDF.
