Photographer in Kirkshaws
The Tempest Photographer will be in Kirkshaws Primary School and Nursery Class on Thursday the 8th of March to take our annual school photographs. Make sure that you fill out the slip that has been sent home in your child’s bag. There is an option to have your child’s photograph taken individually, as a family group or both! Please indicate what type of photographs you would like take to avoid disappointment. A sample of your child’s photograph will be sent home attached to the order form. There is no obligation to buy any images.
So get the combs and hairspray out and dust down your best smiles. and remember to say cheese!

Look out for an appointment time sent home in your child’s bag.
We look forward to seeing you then.

Wonderful Willow
Yesterday we were visited by Alan Kain, a wood artist, who helped us to create a wonderful twisting Willow Tunnel in the Nursery garden. He was assisted to construct it by children from Primary 6. They worked most of the day and managed to get it finished. Mrs Steel filmed some of the process using time-lapse photography.Press here to see our time-lapse movie
We are looking forward to watching it grow over the seasons and the Nursery children can’t wait to play in it. We hope Alan can visit us again in future projects to improve our school grounds.
