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.
The apples below were picked today by our wonderful Janitor Mr Renton! These will be available at the end of the day for anyone who would like some (please bring a bag).
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.

On Tuesday P6/7 carried out STEM challenges. Paper cups were moved magically using string and elastic bands and marble runs of over 50cm were designed by each of the groups. The budding engineers had a ball using their Metaskills to solve challenges.
Children from P5/6/7 were recently showing their leadership skills by planning and carrying out different sporting activities such as football skills, parachute, dodgeball, jumping, tennis and hockey. We had a competition to see who were the most supportive and engaging instructors as voted for by the 2 classes. Our winners were Hannah and Libby who did an excellent job leading a high jump station. Well done to all instructors who volunteered!
