We are so glad our wider community could join us this morning for our P6 sports.  Our pupils showed great sportsmanship and competed in a variety of races.  A thoroughly enjoyable morning for all!

P6 is visiting ‘Amazonia’ at M&D’s in Glasgow on Friday 17 June. The bus will leave school at 9.15 am and return by 3.00 pm. Pupils should wear school sweatshirt, casual bottoms and bring a snack and a packed lunch (if your child receives free meals the school will provide a packed lunch). The cost of this outing is £15 per pupil including a game of 10 Pin Bowling. Please pay through ParentPay or call in to the office for a Barcode letter.

If you are able to go on this outing as a parent helper please complete form below.  We will only contact you if you are required to help.

Our Rights Respecting Schools ambassadors worked hard to create our ‘pawsome’ new playground charter. Primary 3T then designed the graphic which was then transferred onto our lovely new signs, huge thank you to John Imrie Signs.

To launch our new charter and house points, each class in the school participated in a Paddington Hunt where they searched for marmalade jars and clues leading them to the big reveal! Primary 1s and 2s even got to stamp Paddington’s passport.

Check it out in the video below and keep your eyes peeled for Onthank’s very own mini-Paddington bear!
