What an amazing night at the opening of K-Fest.

Our Onthank Ambassadors joined our very own Mr McIlwraith, Mr Swan and the rest of Loudoun Musical Society on stage to perform an amazing night of music. They were fantastic and were a credit to the school.

What a way to end P3! We had the most amazing sunshine for our ‘Water Day’. Pupils and teachers had so much fun!! A big thank you to Mr MacLeod and P5M for helping at all of the stations.

A great performance from our Primary 7s at their Leavers’ Assembly today.

An emotional but very proud day for lots of our parents and carers who were in attendance.

We wish all of our Primary 7 Leavers well as they continue on their learning journey at their respective new schools.

 

 

We had over 450 members of the Onthank Community attend our Community Night for an evening of fun, friendship and food.

A big Thank You to Mr Swan, our Parent Council volunteers and our staff for making it such an enjoyable evening.

We hope to see many of you attending our next one in the new session.

We want to hear what our community would like to see at Onthank Primary School!

Share your views and ideas here.

P3 have been enjoying learning about the water cycle and about the various uses of water.

On Thursday 27th June all P3 classes will be participating in some fun water activities.

As the weather forecast looks good we are asking for pupils to wear shorts and t-shirts to school but to bring a change of clothes and a towel.?

Pupils should come prepared wearing sun tan lotion and bring a water bottle.

Let’s have some super fun to end a fantastic year in P3!

Thanks,

The Spice Teachers

There is a £15 spending money limit and pupils should not bring mobile phones or any other electrical devices with them. Pupils are welcome to bring disposable cameras if they wish. Fingers crossed for the weather.
