Hello everyone,

Church Service
On the morning of Thursday 21^st December, P4-7 will attend Netherlee Church for a Christmas Service. As space is limited within the church, unfortunately, we will only be able to accommodate two family members from the children who are reading, performing in the choir or playing their instrument. Separate information has been sent to these families already, please only attend the service if you have received confirmation that your child will be performing. The service will be recorded and a link to the recording will be emailed out as soon as possible afterwards. We hope that you are not too disappointed with these restrictions. If you would prefer your child not to attend for religious reasons, please email the school office by Monday 18^th December.  For safety reasons, we cannot accommodate any further withdrawal requests on Thursday morning.

Winter Fayre
A huge thanks and well done to everyone who played their part in last night’s fantastic School and Nursery Fundraising Fayre. A very special mention to our fantastic PTA for their amazing help with planning and organising the event. A special mention to Mr Bryce, Miss Haughey and Mrs Gilchrist for all of their hard work with the admin and organisation beforehand. It was wonderful to see so many cheery, happy faces having such a fun festive evening. I have never seen a longer queue for a fayre stall than “Hit the Teacher with a  Snowball” had.  Finally, a huge well done to all the children who had made things, helped by wonderful staff and teachers. We are so proud of them – they were superstars! Continue reading →

All of the children looked amazing in their spotty uniforms and had great fun creating spotty artwork, completing the Bearpees challenge and learning about Children in Need. Check out all the posts on X to see examples of the amazing activities that took place in the school and nursery. Thanks to the hard work of the House Captains and your amazing generosity we raised £1,011.45 for Children in Need. Continue reading →

Hello everyone,

A huge thank you for all your generous donations for Children in Need.  So far the school and nursery have raised £669.76 for Children in Need. If you would still like to make a donation, Parent Pay will be available over the weekend until Monday morning and we will confirm the total amount raised in next Friday’s newsletter.

We also took part in lots of fun experiences for Children in Need, organised by our Primary 7 House Captains. This included decorating our doors, wearing something spotty and doing some spotty artwork! We are very grateful for all of the donations we receive for this great cause.
