It will include a voucher code for £10.00 (you will receive a total of £20.00 per child per week).

The message will be sent either as a text message to your mobile phone, by email or as a printed copy if you don’t have internet access.

You can use the voucher code at any shop that accepts Pay Point, for a list of your local Pay Point retailers visit Find your local PayPoint store and enter your postcode.

Thank you very much for being a great audience for our pupils.  They really enjoyed presenting their Scottish songs, poems and performing the dances.   We are very proud of everyone who took part.

Harvest Art

Leave a comment

We were delighted to welcome our parents and carers into our classrooms today to showcase the children’s Harvest artwork.  The children thoroughly enjoyed sharing the skills they have been learning in art with our parents and carers and it was lovely to see our parents and carers having a go at some of the techniques too! Thank you to all those who came to support this event.

Thank you also to those who contributed to our Harvest collection for the food bank and those who bought a raffle ticket for the Harvest hamper to raise funds for our school.  Your continued support is very much appreciated.

We look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Litter In Our Community!

Leave a comment

The Sustainability Committee informed the assembly today about the amount and types of litter that enter our playground from our community.  They decided to create posters that we can display in our shop and community hall to encourage members of the community to bin their litter, not to drop it.  The children worked hard using programmes on their iPads to create posters.  Here are the children busy at work and some of our first drafts.

ROAD SAFETY – S M A R T PARKER

ROAD SAFETY – S M A R T PARKER

Chilly weather on the way?

Darker mornings and afternoons?

Thinking of taking the car to or from school?

 Safety Means Always Recognising The dangers!

If you are taking the car to school, please be a S M A R T PARKER!

Police Scotland said in a recent tweet, “In autumn and during the winter months, there are the additional risks associated with poor weather, which adversely affect visibility for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists alike.

If you have to drive your child to and/or from school or nursery, make sure that you park legally, safely and responsibly and well away from the main entrance. Please always consider all other road users, especially children who are walking or cycling to and from school or nursery.  Always look out for them.”
