School Blog
Our school blog will continue to update in regard of school news and what is up and coming in school. However we are unable , at the moment, to upload photographs that fully reflect the life of our school. When this issue has been resolved we will provide a gallery of pictures reflecting our Literacy Week and School Celebrations for our Golden Jubilee.

What’s Happening this Week
Our week ahead is action packed with all classes involved in our Literacy Week Celebrations. All classes have been busy completing the writing of their own books and will be involved in reading for enjoyment throughout the school week. The Book Fair is in the school all week with plenty of opportunity to buy a new book. All classes have also been extremely busy preparing for our forthcoming school concert to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. It has been a real treat to take a trip down memory lane.

Friday Assembly
Our end of month school assembly saw our new Primary 7 House Captains and Vice Captains present their first whole school assembly. They did a wonderful job and presented with great confidence. At our Friday assembly the Editor of the Coatbridge and Airdrie Advertiser came along with one of the judges of the Writing Competition. We were delighted to announce that one of our very own Pr.7 pupils came in third in her catergory that had over 250 entries. Quite an achievement.!! She was presented with a wonderful glass award and vouchers. Our children are really aspiring to great things and we could not be more proud. Please watch out for the feature in the next edition of the Advertiser. Our end of month assembly gave us a chance to celebrate the Writers, Maths Stars and Artisits of the Month!! Well done boys and girls!!
