We had a fantastic time on Friday, going Spotty for Children in Need. We raised a fantastic £324! Well done everyone!

We are about to be part of the Queen’s Baton Relay Concert by the BBC Symphony orchestra. All very excited!

We would like to invite all parents and carers to our Open Evening on Wednesday 11th September at 6pm until 7pm. Your child will introduce you to their teacher and then show you round their classroom. The focus this year is on Homework and in particular spelling and phonics. If you are keen to know what Elkonin boxes are and how to do diacritical marking then this is your chance to find out about how your child learns to spell. Your children will be showing you how to do it!! Hope to see you on Wednesday at 6pm. (P7 parents please note the Kilbowie meeting is directly after the Open Evening, at 7-7.45pm)

First meeting of the year is on Wednesday 28th August at 6.45pm in the school library. All welcome.

This is what it takes to update our blog! Sometimes we struggle to get signal especially when we are on the move and it can take a long time to post pictures but we eventually get there. We are really enjoying sharing about the things we are up to and it is lovely to hear your messages back to us.

Leah was the bravest on the ride by herself third time round!

We had another brilliant day enjoying all the thrills of the fair at Flamingoland! Lots if the children thoroughly enjoyed the Cliffhanger, Mumbo Jumbo, Velocity, Flip Flop, Kumali which are really big rides! Others enjoyed the Carousel, Pterodactyl, Boat Swing and many more!!! We were excited to see the baby giraffes, giant tortoises, wallabies and seals. The most exciting animal though had to be the Sumatran Tigers – so majestic! Just as we got to the flamingos the heavens opened but that didn’t stop us having a last few shots on our favourite rides! It has been fantastic even if a bit wet! After eating our burgers or pizza we have headed to the bowling where the competition is fierce for the highest score! All good fun!

During our visit to the Jorvick centre we called P2a in their classroom to see if they had anything they wanted us to find out about for them as they are learning about the Vikings. Some of the children in P2 gave us quite hard questions but we managed to find out all the answers for them. When we came out of the Jorvick centre we called the children back again (think the wee one’s were ready to burst by then!) and some of the children in P6 gave them all the information . It was a fantastic experience for all involved!

We have had a fantastic day in York! First we went round the Castle Museum looking at life in the past – some of the room were even before Mrs Brown’s time! We all loved the dungeons and the staff really liked the prison and the gallows:) After lunch we jumped over to the sights, sounds and smells of the Jorvick Centre, had a quick ice cream then it was time for THE GHOST WALK!! Lots of gruesome stories winding our way through the Shambles. On our way to dinner then it’s off to the Military Adventure Park….
