On Tuesday the 29th of January at 9:15 am, Primary 1 and Primary 2 will be hosting an open morning for parents. Our focus will be on Scotland. We have been learning about Scotland and what makes Scotland special and unique. We have learned Scottish songs and dances which we will be showcasing. We hope to see you there but here is a sneak peek.
Thanks to all our parents/guardians who came in last week for the second of our class meetings. We completed another successful STEM challenge and I’m sure you’ll agree that the children were completely on task and contributing well, the photos below prove that!
Our challenge was to
Create a marble run that will keep a marble running for up to 60 seconds.
We were looking for
* effective planning and communicating
* all members on task
Take a look below at our ideas and how we managed to complete our task.
All parents are invited to a focus group on Monday 21st January at 3:15pm led by Mrs Rowley and Brian Donnelly . At this group we will be looking at our new Anti-bullying: Respect Me Policy.
Throughout Term one we consulted with all staff, pupils and parents what our anti-bullying policy should include.
We have taken into consideration all views and have created a first draft of this policy.
We would appreciate as many parents views on this draft policy and make any amendments required to ensure that all views are represented in our final policy.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
Welcome back and Happy New Year!
Primary 1 have been excited to see what topic they will be learning about this term. Today they explored a mystery topic bag and looked at some clues. Can you guess what our topic will be?
I think it’s a cow or a goat.- Rachel
It is like a big scarf.- Olivia
This is fizzy juice.- Samuel
It looks like a castle on this.- Cece
These biscuits look yummy.- Ula

We had our Christmas party today and had great fun showing off our dance moves. Santa paid us a visit too with some lovely gifts!
Thank you Santa for our lovely gifts!
The birthday boy enjoyed his gift and singalong .

Another random act of kindness we decided on as a class was to raise money to see if we could feed some of our local homeless people this Christmas.
We made up small Christmas gift hampers and raffled these. We raised £100!! Due to such generous children in our school we are now able to donate 20 Christmas meals to our local community.
Well done again children!!
Annie with her fab Kevin the Carrot present!
Our wonderful ‘rafflers’!
Sara won a key ring making kit and some tasty chocolate!
Emilia wasn’t in today so Gabriella chose a prize for her and will deliver it to her for Christmas.
As one of our random acts of kindness during advent we started a food bank donations box. Between children and staff we donated so much that we had to split the food between two boxes! Steven from St. Ninian’s Church popped by to pick up our boxes and was absolutely delighted with our contributions.
How lovely to think that some local families will have enough food now to see them through the Christmas holidays. Well done again boys and girls!
