Our whole school gathered together on Friday to review our achievements and success for May.   Our monthly Maths, Art and Writing awards were given out – well done to all our award winners!

We took time to celebrate some very successful events and to congratulate many of our children for wider achievement.  It is a delight to share news like this in front of the whole school.

We also invited Kelly along from Marie Curie to receive our cheque for the recent Daffodil Tea.  She was delighted to receive our cheque for £528.44.

Careers Fair

Our Careers Fair last week was a great success, very much enjoyed by all in attendance.  We heard from many local businesses about their line of work, any specific training required to do certain jobs and how sometimes the job you plan to do is not the one you end up doing.  We learned how many skills you can develop in life are transferable.  Thank you for coming to work with us.

Wear It Yellow Walk

Primary 7 pupils were issued with a letter today reminding them they are going to the Wear Yellow Walk on 5th June (next Wed).  This letter asks that the children bring a packed lunch that day or order a snack to go as they will be away for most of the day.

Pupils have been asked to obtain sponsorship from family and friends for this event to raise funds for St Andrews Hospice therefore your support in this regard would be very much appreciated.

If you are able to assist at this event please let us know.

Wider Achievement

We love sharing news about Wider Achievement so are delighted  to share with you the news that this young lady competed for Scotland in a British National Gymnastics Competition at the weekend.

We are so proud to let you know that she did amazingly well as she finished as the top Scottish Gymnast in the event and was 2nd of all the gymnasts competing from across the UK in one of the disciplines.  Absolutely fantastic!  We can’t wait to congratulate her at our assembly tomorrow.

Wear it Yellow Walk

Our primary 7 children will take part in the 6k Wear it Yellow Walk at Strathclyde Park on 5th June.

This is a great day organised by St Andrews Hospice each year for Primary 7’s where they meet children from all over the authority, usually bumping into friends they have made at their high school transition days.

By taking part we therefore look to support the hospice by way of sponsorship for this event. Our P7s were recently issued with sponsorship forms and are encouraged to return these before the event.  Any sponsor monies can also be handed in before and after the event.

Thank you for supporting the children in this activity.
