Primary 5/6/7 had a brilliant day at this year’s St Andrew’s Day of Dance at Bells Sports Centre. They practised a variety of dances in preparation for the event, and joined more than 900 pupils from all over Perth & Kinross. It was a great day with fabulous music provided by the Jim Berry Trio.

Primary 6 pupils were recently awarded Young Leaders Certificates. They took part in a number of weekly training sessions with Christine Cook, our Active Schools Co-ordinator, and now organise playground games with the younger pupils. This has proved to be a huge success and very popular.

Mr Donnachie and Mr Robb have groomed and trimmed
fine moustaches in support of Movember, helping to raise
funds and awareness of prostate and testicluar cancer
both well deserving causes – Well Done!

We think they look very dapper!

Mrs Duffy recently spotted some of our childrens artwork on display in Perth Concert Hall – well done Angus, Ailsa S, Christie, Brodie, Naomi and Archie.
Why not pop in and have a look at their works of art? Let us know if there is anyone we should add to our list.

The ‘Charighties’ Group are organising a ‘Kilts for Kids’ day in support of Children 1st. Pupils and staff are invited to wear a kilt or something tartan to school and donate £1. Children 1st is a Scottish charity who helps children who have difficult lives.
Kilty Cookies will also be for sale.

Many thanks to everyone who helped raise over £60 in support of the Royal British Legion’s annual Poppy Appeal. The Royal British Legion is the national custodian of Remembrance, a role which ensures that those who gave their lives for peace and freedom are remembered.

Primary 1,2 are very excited about their visit to Perth & Kinross’s WEBWalk (Waste Education Boardwalk) later this term.  There will be a tour around the displays and interactive games & activities to help us learn about the problems of litter and landfill and learn about the types of material that we can recycle.

The class have already been discussing the importance of recycling and this was the focus for their ‘show & tell’ this week.  The children have been very creative & informative. Did you know for example….that 25 plastic bottles went into making this fleece?

We love the mask & fishing rods boys!

P5,6,7 are looking forward to a day of outdoor active learning on Thursday 29th September.
