Primary 1/2 trip to Lerwick Observatory
Just to make parents aware that the Primary 1/2 trip to the Lerwick Observatory has been cancelled for health and safety reasons. The site is very snowy and icy and the staff feel it is safer to postpone rather than go ahead.
Apologies for the last minute information but discussions have been going on and weather dependent. We hope to rearrange this trip and will inform you in due course as to when it will be.

JRSO
Our Junior Road Safety Officers have been reading to the Nursery children this week, helping them to learn more about staying safe when out and about. They spent their lunchtimes choosing books and preparing questions to ask the children. The group want to make sure road safety messages are being shared with everyone in the school.
Our JRSOs are already planning their next whole school event which looks like a lot of fun! They will be sharing more information about this soon!
