Beat the Street Award

On Monday 19th January, Head Teacher Lynne and  teacher Lorna went to St Mirren stadium with Craig and Daniel from the secondary department. This was to represent the school at the ‘Beat the Street’ awards ceremony. We were placed first in our category and won a £50 voucher. Well done to Lorna who did the organising for this, and all the staff, families and children who walked for miles. Most importantly it was wonderful to see our young people achieving and bringing home a trophy. Time for a trophy cabinet!

Robert Burns 2026

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are pleased to inform you that Riverbrae will be celebrating Burns Night with a fun Scotland-themed day on Friday 23 January.

To mark the occasion, children are welcome to take part by wearing Scottish-themed clothing such as tartan, kilts, blue and white colours, ribbons or other Scotland-inspired accessories. Scotland tops are fine but no other football colours please. We will offering optional face painting with simple Scottish designs, such a small flag or flower.

If you do not want your child to have their face painted, please let the class team know in Learning Journals.

Participation is entirely optional, and there is no need to purchase anything special, simple colours or small accessories are more than sufficient.

This celebration is a lovely opportunity for pupils to learn about the life and work of Robert Burns in an enjoyable and inclusive way.

Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Dear Parents/Carers

We hope you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday season! It has been lovely to welcome the children and our families back.  The classrooms have been buzzing with energy and excitement, and it has been a joy to see the children settle back into their routines and learning with such enthusiasm given the cold weather we have had.

This newsletter is only a short one, but we wanted to take a moment to say how happy we are to have everyone back and to wish you all a very happy, healthy and productive start to the new year!

Festive Wreath Making

On Thursday 18th December, parents and carers came together for a festive wreath-making workshop that was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended.

The session was relaxed and welcoming, with plenty of friendly chat and Christmas music creating a lovely atmosphere. Parents enjoyed the creative process and the chance to unwind together — even if there were a few brave moments of getting gently poked by holly along the way!

Have a great holiday 🌲
