‘Welcome to our Class” 2020 video
Although we could not hold our annual Meet the Teacher event this year we still wanted to provide our families with a flavour of the wonderful work and learning our classes have produced since returning in August.
Enjoy!
Outdoor P.E. timetable
Details of class P.E. days is attached below and also in the updated “Classes” section of the school app. The timetable begins next week (w/b 24th Aug).
Current guidelines mean all P.E. lessons will be taken outside so pupils should come to school dressed in their OUTDOOR P.E. kit on P.E. days. No football colours should be worn. They should also bring suitable footwear and a jacket so they are comfortable and stay warm and dry in our changeable Scottish weather.

P1 Transition Virtual Tour videos
Unfortunately, due to the school closures, new P1 pupils who are planning to join our school next session cannot get the chance to visit our school. However, every Monday for the coming weeks, we will upload some videos to our app, Twitter and website to give the pupils and their families a Virtual Tour of Kirkshaws!
We hope this provides at least a little flavour of what life and learning is like at Kirkshaws Primary School.
