On Tuesday 29th of October Primary 6 and Mrs Morgan visited Kilsyth Library.  The reason we went to the event was to meet Kenneth Stevens, the author of great novels such as Ghost Wing & Santa Maria.  The event was called Imagining Things and was to inspire us to use our imagination when we are writing.  He told us were he lived and read us some of his poems.  It was a very interesting event.

Yesterday at Cumbernauld Tryst our school was represented at North Lanarkshire Schools 2013-14 Swimming Championships by one of our fantastic P7’s.  She is part of a swimming club and spends an astonishing 6 hours a week training.   She competed in the 50m breaststroke and won the bronze medal with a personal best.  When asked how the race had gone she said, “My goggles got water in them so I know I can go faster.”   She said, “I really enjoyed my day especially when I got chips as a treat.”  We are very proud and wish her luck in her future endeavours.
