Everyone returned to school On Wednesday and we started our daily mile. Children and staff are enjoying it with our primary one getting around the school building four times ( one mile) in under twenty minutes! We hope everyone will get even faster! Mrs Preston and Mrs Cruickshank only managed it once! “Must try harder ladies!”

We have exciting times ahead as we go cashless in the lunchroom on Tuesday. A letter explaining  the procedures went home in the school bags on Friday. Children will have their photographs taken on Monday and Tuesday. Some volunteer primary 7 children will help out with the distribution and collection of cards. They will work in teams, great preparation for the world of work.

Next week is Registration Week. If you have a child who is due to start school in August please come along to the school on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday from 1.30. Parents must bring their child’s birth certificate and a council tax bill or statement. Children must be enrolled in their local school. Please spread the word to any neighbours or friends.

Primary 3, Mrs Campbell’s / Mrs Galloway’s class will lead the liturgy at holy Mass on Friday in St Thomas’ Church at 10.00 am. The theme of the Mass will be family and the Epiphany. Parents and families  are very welcome to join us.

This week we will start the preparation for our school show “Joseph” which we will perform in the school in March. Auditions for the main parts will begin this week. Please encourage your child to put themselves forward as it is a great way to build confidence.
