First week of our new term and lots of activity going on in school. This week Primary Seven hosted our Be Safe Be Seen Fashion Show to raise awareness of road safety and travelling safely to school in the winter months. All of the children and teachers had great fun sashaying the catwalk and strutting their stuff to show how much bright clothing can make a difference in the dark. Primary Seven organised this event with Miss McGregor and they did an excellent job.

We also had our first assembly of this year – Primary 6/7 told us all about events in Pompeii as part of their work on natural disasters. They provided a real insight into life in Pompeii and how it was when the disaster struck. Well done Primary 6/7 a great standard to set for our first assembly.

Primary Seven have again been involved in the Forest School even in the wet! They made shelters today and really needed to use them to stay dry in the pouring rain!

Of course we also celebrated Halloween with everyone dressing up and presenting their Halloween songs and poems to the whole school. Primary 1-3 spent the rest of the afternoon in the hall enjoying a great party.

This week we have also welcomed our Quality Improvement Officer Mr Tim Sharpe into school to see how well the children work. He has enjoyed visiting all of the classes and has commented on how impressed he is with our pupils.

Thank you to everyone who purchased books at our bookfayre before we broke up. The children very much enjoyed bookweek and the activities around reading. Pupils in Primary Seven provided story telling sessions every day for our younger pupils and these proved to be very popular.
