Our Primary 7 children and getting ready for their week long visit to Kilbowie Residential Outdoor Centre near Oban. They have much to look forward to including rock climbing, skiing and gorge walking. The children will be joined by Mrs McBain, Mrs Cook and Mr Clark who will also take part in the activities. Press HERE to visit the Kilbowie website for more information.

Children should be in the school assembly hall no later that 8.45am on Monday morning to ensure that we are well organised before the bus arrives.

Happy packing primary 7. We all hope you have a wonderful time and great weather.

On Friday Kirkshaws Primary School was transformed into multi-colour by the JRSO team when everybody wore bright and reflective clothing. At assembly our Junior Road Safety Officers highlighted the need to ‘Be Bright and Be Seen’ during the dark mornings and evenings. Certificates and a prize were given to the brightest child in each class as well as the brightest staff members. Well done to everyone who dressed up and brightened everyone’s day.

Kirkshaws Junior Road Safety Officers are holding a ‘Be Bright Day’ on Friday the 20th of January. This will be used to heighten the awareness of  wearing bright clothing during the dark evening and mornings so that it is easier to be seen by motorists. Everyone is encouraged to dress as brightly as possible. There will be prizes for the brightest dressed child – and teacher! Check back next week for some photographs of the day.
