YIPWORD – Pedal-up Programme

YIPWORLD staff will run a 6 week programme on cycle maintenance and cycle skills  in the school from March to May 2023.  The training will take part during the school day across a number of weeks.

Places on the course are very limited and are now open to any interested P6 pupils. They must have their own bicycles  and cycle helmet. Places will be given out on on a first-come, first -served basis. 

If you would like your child to take part, please contact the school in writing by  3 p.m. on Monday 27 February.

*Further information will be sent out to those who are successful.

World Book Day – Thursday 2nd March 2023

To celebrate World Book Day children can bring in their favourite book to read to other children. If you have any children’s story books at home which you would like to donate to the school we will also be running a book swap shop on the day. Please do not feel obliged to buy any books or costumes for the day. The children are expected to come to school in their normal uniform as we do not wish to put additional financial pressure on parents. However, if your child already has a favourite book character costume and wishes to come dressed up then they may do so.

World Book Tokens were issued last week, please check your child’s schoolbag.

School lunches have a special menu that day, please see the attached poster.

P2/3 and P5/6 Time Connectives Fun

We have been learning lots about time connectives over the last few weeks to help us with our instruction writing. We have played fun games in class, used them in our writing and finally made our own board games to help us practise time connectives at home. Before we take our games home though, we thought we would practise playing them with P5/6. We all had great fun hearing some of the amazing sentences using time connectives that we came up with!

Parent Council Easter Raffle

“The Parent Council are back with their Easter Raffle again! So if you are out shopping and happen to see some yummy treats or crafty things, we will be looking for some donations again this year. You can hand any donations into the school and we can collect from there. The raffle tickets will be handed out at school to all children in due course.

Again all money raised will be used for the children in the  school. “

Scottish myths and legends with Primary 4

Pupils have been throughly enjoying their new topic. We have learned all about Nessie, the Kelpies and enjoyed the story of ‘The Wee Bannock”.

We are debating wether or not Nessie is real, what do you think?

We have been very lucky to have “Harris’s Mum” come in and show us how to make 3D models of the Kelpies using a really cool substance called Polymorph.

Harris and Flynn made a battle of the Bannocks at the creative area, and you can also see Eilidh working hard researching facts about our mythical creatures.

Have a super February break everyone!

Children’s Mental Health Week – Mon 6th – Fri 10th February

 Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connectionsHuman beings thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our wellbeing. When we have healthy connections – to family, friends and others – this can support our mental health and our sense of wellbeing. And when our need for rewarding social connections is not met, we can sometimes feel isolated and lonely – which can have a negative impact on our mental health.

As parents and carers, you play an important role in your child’s mental health. Click the link below to find a range of free resources that you can access:
