A Busy Week in Primary 1a
Primary 1a have been busy this week! They have been learning how to capture images using the I-pads then change the image using an app called Doodle Buddy.
They have also enjoyed learning about 2d Shapes and using them to create pictures.
They have created spooky skeleton pictures after hearing the story Funny Bones! Their skeletons were excellent and they and lots of fun!

Halloween Parade
Today is our Annual Halloween Parade which will begin at 1.15pm in the school hall. Our theme will be based on the book ‘Room on the Broom’ by Julia Donaldson. Our Nursery Class and Primaries 1-3 will each perform on stage as the story is being read with a few more surprises. Our morning nursery children are invited to return in the afternoon for the performance.
Children are permitted to go home to change at 12pm if picked up by their parent, alternatively they may bring their clothes in and will be assisted in getting changed after lunch.
We will be holding a raffle during the performance and any donations of raffle prizes would be appreciated.
Doors will open at 1.10pm (to allow the hall to be cleared). Families are welcome however, we are unable due to health and safety, to accommodate buggies in the entrance, Primary 7 pupils will be available to take your buggy from you and put them in the project hall until after the performance.
We look forward to seeing you.
Halloween
Many thanks to the Parent Council for a fantastic Halloween Disco last night! The children had a spooktacular time!! The costumes were fantastic!
School Photographs
The photographers will be in the school on Thursday 9th November 2017.
As has been the practice for several years they will only be taking photographs of Primary 1, Primary 7 and Nursery children at this time.
You may also have the opportunity to have your children photographed either individually or as a family. Please reply by Monday 6th November 2017. If you do not select one of the options via the email link then we will assume that you do not require the photograph to be taken.
The photographers will be ready to start at 8.30 a.m. This will enable parents with children in the nursery to bring them in before they start, if they wish. Children who attend the nursery in the afternoon will also have an opportunity to have their photographs done from 1 p.m. Children wearing glasses are asked to move them further down their nose than normal to prevent the flash showing in the photograph. Should you decide that you would prefer them to remove their glasses please tell your child to do so on the day.

Outdoor Learning in Primary 2
This Friday, 6th October, Primary 2 are planning on having an Outdoor Learning Day. Children should come to school in their own old clothes, suitable for being outside all day. If they have a pair of wellies these would be great but if not the school can provide some.
If you are able to help please click on the links below to indicate which session would suit you best.
Many thanks.
