Don’t forget to pop along to our Christmas Fayre this afternoon at 1.30pm.
We have lots of fun games, tombolas and activities with loads of prizes to be won. We also have our hand-crafted ornaments from each child in the school as well as tea, coffee, home-baking and hot dogs for sale.
We’ll end the day as always with our grand raffle – there is still plenty of time to buy a few more lucky tickets.
Huge thanks to our wonderful Parent Council for hosting the first Family Movie Night- the Polar Express was the clear winner in the poll and has put us all in the mood for Christmas. Thank you to everyone who came along to support this event and helped to fundraise for our pupils here at St David’s Primary School.

Just a reminder that everyone is welcome to wear a bit of tartan to school today to celebrate St Andrew’s Day.
Our Sharing the Learning Family event starts from 2pm today and is set to be a fantastic celebration. Remember you can drop in any time between 2pm and 5pm.
On Thursday 29th November, we will be hosting the second Sharing the Learning Day this session.
This time we are working with our partners in Adult Learning to share more about Family Learning and why this is so central to our school approach.
On the day you can expect familiar faces from school and the Pizza Club as well as lots of fun activities to get involved in. The event starts at 2pm until 5pm – you can drop in at any point and stay for as long as you like.
If you can make it along at 2pm, you can head along to collect your child from their classroom and go with them to the hall where the event is being hosted. If you can’t make it until after 3pm, don’t worry as there will be plenty of Scottish themed activities going on in the classes.

We are looking forward to seeing you there – please feel free to add to the Scottish theme by wearing tartan on the day.

Primary 1 have had a great day rounding off Book Week. We started with ‘Drop Everything and Read!” in class then joined Primary 2 and Primary 6/7 in Dream Island for a bedtime story. We enjoyed snuggling up with a blanket and some toast to hear stories from the older children. What a fantastic week it has been!

Primary 1 had a great surprise on Wednesday, when Bookbug appeared at their library session with Emma, our outreach librarian!
Not only did Bookbug come to visit, he also gifted a very special bag to each Primary 1, full of books and other goodies to take home and keep!
We hope you have had a chance to read some of the books – please let us know your favourites!

Emma introduced everything inside and then shown the pupils what to do with it all. We even had a special visitor that came along to gift all pupils with a ‘Read, write, count’ bag!
This was very exciting, we got lots of cuddles and High- 5’s!
Thank you BookBug for your appearance today, we are so lucky to have you visit our school!
