Our P4-P7 after school Netball & Football clubs run by Linda & Steven Izatt will re-commence Thursday 19th January 2017:-

If football is cancelled due weather parents will receive a text by 2.30pm.

Today we had a visit from the SSPCA to learn all about what they do and when we should phone them.
We got to give our own opinion.
It was great to get a gift.
I liked the videos.
Today you will recieve via email, your child’s updated profile.
Your child’s profile will be a follow on from the previous block of observations sent out on 4th October. This block will cover learning observations made between 5th October and 20th Decemebr 2016.
Please send any feedback or comments by replying to the email.
Many thanks,

Christmas is coming and in the Wee Class the decorations have started!!
Due to staff absence and sickness, I have had to make the difficult decision to postpone our Christmas Nativity Performance.
I appreciate all the hard work the children and staff have put in to the performance and am committed to showcasing this achievement before the Christmas holidays.
It is my intention to re-arrange the nativity for the morning and evening of Tuesday 20th December. Times and ticket arrangements will remain the same, however if you have any difficulties with this please contact the school and we will try to accommodate you.
As always your help and understanding is appreciated and as they say … “the show must go on!”

In the ‘wee class’ P1-4 like using a safety circle when sitting on the carpet. We can easily see who is missing from school and it helps us to always look and listen to the person that is speaking.
The safety circle is organised in alphabetical order which also helps us to remember our alphabet!

I know what a busy time of year this can be for families and children, with parties, Christmas shows and many other exciting activities happening after school. For this reason, I will not be issuing P1-4 with homework this week. The children have all worked hard and deserve a wee rest (as do the mums and dads).
Normal homework will resume after the Christmas holidays.
Please contact me at the school if you wish to discuss anything further.
Kind regards,
Mrs Gillian McDowell
