Pr.5 at Primary Games
Our wonderful Pr.5 pupils attended the Primary Games event at Ravescraig on Friday. They had a wonderful day and were complimented on their excellent behaviour. It looks like a great day was had by all.
Pr.1 using Technology
Our Pr.1 pupils in Room 2 have been busy in class sending me e-mails to tell me all about their year. They have all received their replies.
Miss Ross said
Primary one have been learning about the world of email and shocked Miss Ross with their knowledge! Some children have already sent and received emails to family members and friends.
Primary one chose to send emails to Mrs Docherty, they decided their own subject and wrote the email very independently. They are familiar with the language of email and can use the mouse to click on the send button. They are also becoming more familiar with a keyboard. Most children are familiar with this through their use of ipads.
Well Done boy and girls in Room 2!!!

Wear Yellow Walk
The Primary 7s had great fun last week walking 6K round Strathclyde Park in aid of St. Andrew’s Hospice. The sun was shining brightly. It was a fabulous day enjoyed by everyone. Everyone was exhausted by the time they got back to school! The pupils were excellent and repreented the school beautifully. Well done boys and girls!! Please encourage your child to bring in the sponsor money for this great cause as soon as possible. Thank you for your support and generosity.
