Diversity Evening
All families are invited along to celebrate our third Diversity Evening, which will be held on Thursday 30 January, from 6.30pm until 8pm. There will be musical and dance performances to enjoy as well as food tasting, crafts, information stalls and a showcase of the children’s learning from Diversity Month.

Almost all of the evening is free of charge however, our Primary 6’s will have a neurodiversity stall selling a range of fidget toys (priced at 50p) and there will also be a small charge for our delicious Derby ice cream. Of course, if you wish to make a small donation to the evening, all proceeds will be donated to the Scottish Refugee Council (SC008639), who are planning to visit and speak to the children on Friday 31 January. The charity will also have a stall on the evening if you wish to find out more.

I hope you will all be able to join us for part or all of the evening!

Chinese New Year Celebrations
Xīnnián kuàilè (Happy New Year)
A group of our wonderful children, from P1- P7 who celebrate Chinese New Year at home, has been helping to plan events and activities for our school and nursery to help us celebrate Chinese New Year.  This year we will celebrate this on Wednesday 29 January. On this day, children who celebrate this festival and tradition are invited to wear their traditional Chinese clothing, if this is something that is readily available to them or, if they do not have traditional clothing, they are welcome to wear an item of clothing (top, skirt or trousers) in one of the Chinese lucky colours, which this year are black, red and yellow.

Please note this is optional. All other children should wear their usual school uniform or nursery clothes on this day please.

As always, we are always here to help in any way we can, whether that be about your own child or a more general matter in relation to the school or nursery.  We are also always looking for suggestions and new ideas so please don’t hesitate to get in touch at any time.

Have a wonderful weekend.
