There is a theatre company visiting on the 2nd of November to share a performance with our P4-7 classes.

We had a surprise visit to the nursery from the Care Inspectorate on the 2nd of November.

They have sent out a questionnaire for our nursery parents to complete and return.

Thank you to everyone who has managed to do that.  

The children were super and we got lots of praise for so many things.

We also got action points which we will share with you when they are published in a few weeks.

We will be going over some of the basic safety rules for children to make sure we all stay safe on November the 5th.

We have a four legged visitor on Monday the 7th, Zoe is coming along to school to help us learn about keeping our community safe.

We have a Remembrance Service planned for the 11th of November.

Scottish Book Week

The children in Firth Primary and Nursery have been enjoying a day of reading as part of Scottish Book Week.

They have also been reading in lots of very strange places during the week.  Have a look at our gallery to see for yourself:

We are delighted to say we now have a full Parent Council Committee.

Thank you goes to Ann Leask for taking on the role of Chairperson.  Along with Cathy Smith (secretary) and Gemma Morris (treasurer), we are in safe hands.  The school looks forward to working with the Parent Council and achieving lots of success for our children and school.

Well done to the parent council for the successful bid for CO-OP Community funding.

Rachael Brammah, the Chairperson when the funding was applied for, received the cheque on Saturday on behalf of Firth Parent Council – Friends of Firth.

We are now at the really exciting stage of putting together a working party from the Parent Forum to take forward our Outdoor Community Project, along with the lead teacher Mrs Chalmers.

I have been appointed as the HT in Firth Primary School, and I am absolutely delighted.

Mrs Emma Jane Rendall

I am looking forward to developing the school together with the pupils, parents and carers, staff and wider community.  There are so many great opportunities available and we want to make sure our children get every chance to have great learning experiences.
