Dear parent / carer

As we are now well into the final term of the year, I thought I would send an update with some of the key dates for P7s over the next few months.

Key Dates 

Wednesday 24^th May- P7 Information Evening at RBA 6.30pm 

Tuesday 13^th and Wednesday 14^th June- P7 Induction days at RBA 

Throughout this term we will continue to liaise with our colleagues in the primary schools to make plans for our new S1s. In addition to this, our staff have also prepared a series of lessons designed to introduce our S1 curriculum to your child. These lessons will be issued to each primary school in the hope that it will give P7s a sample of what to expect during their first few weeks in S1.

I am now at a stage where I will begin to create our new S1 classes for next year. To allow me to do this I would appreciate it if you could return the medical / sibling information form that has been issued to you by your child’s primary school.

I would strongly urge you to attend our P7 Information Evening at The Robert Burns Academy on Wednesday 24^th May. This evening will provide you with an opportunity to meet some of our key staff and see inside the school. In preparation for this evening, I would also like to gather your views on what you most like to hear about on the evening. The Glow form below will take only a few minutes to complete and will provide me with the feedback required to tailor this evening to your needs. Please complete this by Wednesday 10^th May if it is your intention to attend the information evening.

Once I have collated the response to this form, I will issue a letter with further details regarding the arrangements for the Information Evening.

P6/7 stitched a felt bird for a special person in their life. They had to learn how to cut a pattern out, pin it on to the felt and then cut it out very carefully.

Buttons were sewn on to the wings and running or back stitches were used to sew the sides together – life skills for the future!

Don’t you think they look bold, bright and brilliant birds?

P5/6 and P6/7 welcomed Farmer Bryce of Mossgiel Milk and Mrs Morton of Morton’ s Milk to discuss all things dairy in the local area.  Farmer Bryce shared information on his own farm, his ancestors and how dairy farming has progressed through the years.  Mrs Morton shared with us the process of milking and all about her computerised farm shop which stocks lots of locally sourced goodies.  We then welcomed Mark from SmartSTEM who showed us an experiment on how to separate fat from milk.  A huge thank you to all of our visitors for taking the time to share their experiences with us.
