Weather Update

Latest news from NLC Headquarters is that due to the ongoing risk of the Amber weather warning until 10am tomorrow, all schools and centres will remain closed on Friday 2nd of March.

Hopefully things will calm over the weekend and we will be able to resume service as normal on Monday 5th March.

Regular updates will appear here on our website and Twitter accounts.

World Book Day

To celebrate this and to encourage healthy reading habits we have a number of initiatives taking place in school this week.

  • All pupils are being encouraged to bring their favourite book or books to school for silent reading time.
  • “Stop everything and read bell” will ring at selected times during the week.
  • Pupils will be encouraged to stop what they are doing and read for 10 minute slots.
  • Paired reading activities, Primary 6 will join Primary 1 and Primary 7 will join Primary 2 for joint sessions.
  • Drama related activities linked to reading books and stories.
