Well done to our next two children to receive 80 points, a witch and a wizard this time!
Next Friday, 2nd March, we will be taking part in World Book Day. The children will receive a letter tomorrow with details about it and look out for the £1 book token in their bags next Friday. We’re hoping that some parents or grandparents can join us to share their favourite story!

Primary 1 had a busy day! Most of their learning was based around the story “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”.

Here are Primary 5 enjoying a session of Relax Kids with Mrs Baillie this afternoon after working hard on Literacy, Numeracy and topic research. Promise they’re not sleeping!
Today, we said a fond farewell to Mrs Moran. Mrs Moran has a new teaching job in a school closer to where she lives. She has been at Aitkenhead for nine and a half years and we will all miss her very much, especially P1! We wish you every success for the future, Mrs Moran.
Congratulations to Elsie from P6 onbeing highly commended in the road safety calendar competition.
