P7b Assembly will be on Friday 4th October just after 9am.

Primary 6a have been enjoying their introduction to ‘Forest School’. The weather was much better today than it was for last week’s group. We found a massive mushroom.

Primary 5/6 launched our ‘Respect Me’ week last Friday with an assembly looking at issues associated with bullying. They worked very hard in the weeks before to learn all of their lines. They certainly gave everyone something to think about and enjoyed presenting what they had learned to family members and the rest of the school.

Well done!

We had a fabulous number of entries for our Pirate Hat Competition. The whole school were very impressed with all the efforts. It was a difficult decision to pick. However, in the end Sam won the competition. He is looking forward to playing on his skateboard.

The Pirate Hat Competition was due to be held on Tuesday but we are going to delay this until Thursday. A text message was sent on Monday afternoon regarding this. The prize is a skateboard so good luck.

Last week we invited our new Primary 1 parents in to their child’s class. Everyone enjoyed the mornings and I think we can all agree that Primary 1 have settled in extremely well. Keep it up!

On Friday P7a put on the first class assembly of the year all about smoking. In class they have been learning about the health and financial implications associated with smoking. Their overall message from the assembly was ‘Don’t Smoke Baby’ (to the tune of Vanilla Ice’s ‘Ice Ice Baby’).

A reminder to parents of children in our P5 class. We are having a Baby Celebration on Thursday 30th May at 1:30pm to mark the end of this year’s programme for Roots of Empathy. If you can come but haven’t returned your slip, please call the office.

Our children are enjoying some good old fashioned fun today thanks to our Parent Council. They have funded today’s Space Hopper Activity through the company Micro Fit.

A big thank you to our Parent Council.
