Welcome Back
It was wonderful to welcome everyone back to school after the long summer break. We hope you all had a lovely summer holiday with your family. We can happily report that everyone settled in well to their new classes and looked resplendent in their new uniforms. They really are a credit to you all. Our new Pr. 1 pupils were fantastic and enjoyed making lots of new friends. The Pr.7 buddies have been doing a great job supporting the newest members of our school community settle in to their new environment.
We look forward to working with you all in the year ahead.
P1/P7 Buddies
Our fabulous P1 children met their P7 buddies today and got to spend some time together at break and lunchtime. Here are a few pictures – as you can see they got on brilliantly.
Return To School
School is open to pupils tomorrow. Classes from Primary 2 to Primary 7 should line up in their new classes (allocated before the holidays). New Primary 1 pupils should arrive at 9.30 am (for the first day only and can be picked up from 2.45 pm). They will be brought straight into class and parents can stay briefly for a photo opportunity. Looking forward to seeing you all!
Happy Holidays

End of Term Assembly
The whole school gathered today for our end of term assembly. We took the opportunity to review our term and celebrate some of our success over this period. Congratulations to our maths, writers and artist stars of the month. Well done everyone.
Today we awarded netball stars, football stars and received awards for attendance as well as celebrating the fact Monklands won the sports day points tally.
We are immensely proud of everyone for their hard work and commitment over the past year and wish our primary 7 children well as they go off to pastures new.
We hope everyone has a fabulous summer holiday. Keep safe everyone. We can’t wait to see you in August.

Foodbank Donation
Massive thank you to everyone who kindly supported our Foodbank appeal over the past few weeks in aid of Coatbridge Community Foodbank. Your support has been overwhelming, with over 30 bags of groceries and toiletries being received.
Mrs Drummond ran out of space in her car to take this donation to the Foodbank and had to enlist some help from these trusty pupils to carrry everything. In a world when you can be anything – be kind.
