A big thank you to all the parents and children who came along to our local Morrisons supermarket to raise funds for the school. The children and adults spent the afternoon helping shoppers pack their groceries and the public gave very generous donations. The Parent Council are looking forward to sharing the fundraising total with us all soon.
The children enjoying their first Parkour session today.
Mrs Anne Chalmers, our Community Development Officer, arranged storytelling sessions for our P1-3 pupils. The children shared stories & songs and we invited our family to join in the fun. Each week all children are able to choose a different themed story sack containing books and puppets.
Our mural is taking shape despite the rain ! We are hoping to complete our mural and the repainting of  all of our playground markings soon.
We are keen that everyone gets the opportunity to get involved in the painting and hope that all children bring in old clothes and shoes, if they haven’t already done so, to enable them to take part.
Primary 6/7 were working hard with our friends from B&Q to create hanging baskets which will not only look wonderful but that will attract wildlife into our playground.
Pupils from P5-7 began their cycle training with Miss Smith during the ‘Bikeability After School Club’.
The children began painting our first playground mural today. The children made a great start and enjoyed working al fresco !
Can we please remind all children that they  need  old clothes and shoes, which can be kept in school, to enable them to take part in the playground improvements.
