Welcome Back
We are delighted to be back in school after the Christmas & New Year break. We hop you had a wonderful time with your loved ones.
Now we are back in school, we have lots of exciting things planned for this very busy term. Remember to follow us on Twitter @LawmuirPS or download the school app for updates.
Uniform
Its great to see everyone back and looking so smart after the holidays. It is cold though so if you need to wear an extra jumper please try your best to make it school colors and as plain as possible. No logos please.
If you have found you child has grown over the holiday and you need some uniform please contact the office we have loads of nearly new uniform. We might be able to assist.
Scotland Month
This month is traditionally our Scottish month at Lawmuir. All classes will be learning a wee bit about Scottish culture and history. We would love to see some of their work or poetry recitals on Twitter, so please tag us @LawmuirPS if you wish to do so.
Caledonian Braves
On Saturday, a number of pupils and their parents enjoyed a very wet afternoon out supporting Caledonian Braves.
Miah, who won The Braves recent artwork competition met some players and we all enjoyed an exciting game of football. Next time we are hoping for a win. Thanks to everyone who came along to support.
