Our Rocket Readers Leadership Group are inviting members of our local community who grew up during the 1970s to visit our school and read your favourite childhood stories with our pupils during our 50^th celebration week.

If you would be interested in joining us, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please contact the school office to let us know when you are available and which class/classes you would like to read to.

We are planning on having an afternoon of Potted Sports tomorrow as part of our House Challenge. Children are welcome to come to school wearing their house colours. Please ensure they have plenty of suncream on, a hat (if possible) and plenty of water.

This Friday, we will be offering healthy breakfast session before school from 8:30am as part of Health Week. Children who wish to attend will have the opportunity to try a selection of healthy breakfast foods, including tasters of overnight oats, natural yoghurt and a variety of fruit. If you wish your child to take part but have alternative dietary requirements, please contact the school.

As part of our transition activities, the children will take part in a “Bump Up Afternoon” today, where they will have the opportunity to spend time with their potential new year group and experience some of the routines and learning for next year. We also look forward to welcoming our new Primary 1 pupils who will be joining us for this session too.

At this stage, classes have not yet been finalised due to staffing arrangements. Therefore, children may not necessarily be with their final class peers and class teacher during this session. Final class information will be shared with families as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
