Many thanks to everyone who came along to our Parents evening last week. We hope you left feeling well informed about your child/children’s progress in learning and their application to work. A huge thank you for your contribution to our ongoing school improvement with the completion and return of our school questionnaires. Our pupils have also been busy over the last few weeks completing questionnaires and surveys to help us identify school priorities for next session. Mrs.Elliott has collated all responses and will publish the outcome of our survey. Many thanks to everyone for your very positive feedback and kind words that acknowledged the great work taking place in the school and also for taking the time to identify what we could do better to further improve our school.

Fish in schools
Room 15 had a great time releasing their fish into the Luggie Burn.
They have loved raising the brown trout from eggs into alevins then fry and have learned lots along the way.
Keep an eye out for our fishy friends if your passing!!
Move and Learn
Room 15 have really enjoyed working with the sports coaches from the Celtic foundation over the last 6 weeks.
They have been learning ball skills in the hall/yard and all about the eatwell plate in class. They are now all super fit and healthy!
