Primary 4 Update
Primary 4 have enjoyed investigating the different parts of a peach today. We looked at, and felt, the skin, flesh and pit before having a little taste of course!
P6/7 Update
Primary 6/7 have been busy – take a look ……
Primary 2/3 Update
We have been learning all about alphabetical order in our literacy lessons. We love doing activities to learn and practise our new skills. Our grammar activities include a letter hunt, a dictionary search, putting animals into alphabetical order, sorting letters and playing a capital and lower case matching pairs game.
Primary 2/3 have been busy learning all about place value in maths. One of our favourite activities is a number hunt which we often do in our gym hall. We have to find all the number cards and identify the number that is covered up by the animal. This is such a fun way to learn new skills!
Halloween Costume Swap Shop
If your child has outgrown their previous Halloween costume and you are wondering what to do with it, we have a possible solution!
Sent it to school on Monday 3rd October in a clearly labelled bag – costume, type and age/size marked. This allows for the costume to be in school for a few days.
Then on Parents@ Evening you will be able to, hopefully, select a different costume for your child. If you are happy to make a small donation this would be much appreciated. Donations will be put towards the school’s transport cost evenly across the school.
Thank you for your continued support. If extra costumes are left over, the school will donate them to a charity shop.

At Assembly this week the children were talking about respect . This includes good listening, caring for others, encouraging each other and being pleased for each others’ successes. It also means remembering to say please and thank you and being kind to each other.
