Children’s Parliament & AI Project
Primary 4/5 have been involved in a two year project with the Children’s Parliament and the Alan Turing Institute. We have been extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to find out more about Children’s Rights and the UNCRC and also explore Artificial Intelligence.
We would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to all the pupils who have contributed to this project over the past two years. Special thanks go to our three ‘Investigators’ who have taken part in online calls with the other 3 schools involved throughout Scotland. They have passed the views, ideas and concerns of the rest of the class on to those running the project and have been brilliant ambassadors for our school, especially when they took part in the AI Summit at Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh.
If you would like to see what the project involved, please watch the video which shows some of the work we’ve carried out this year.

2024 Folk Festival
On Friday 3rd May we were lucky enough to have some special guests in school; visiting Folk Festival Band, The Fretless, they had travelled all the way from Canada! They were absolutely fantastic, they had us all dancing and very well entertained!
Towards the end, the band played famous songs, we had to stand up if we recognised the tune…this one was a popular one!
Christmas Lunch
We have been treated to an absolutely delicious Christmas lunch today. Big thanks to Norma, Bethany and Marina for all their hard work.
Primary 6/7 helped set up the hall to make it look very festive indeed. I think we all liked the tables set up in groups!
It was super to see so many Christmas jumpers too!

Buses Delayed – Tuesday 6th June
Just to advise all Parents/Carers that the buses have been delayed and have just left the school, so will be approximately 15 minutes behind schedule.
JRSOs visit ELC Department
Recently, our JRSOs visited the new entrants in our ELC Department. They were keen to read them the story, ‘Maggie and Ziggy Start School’, using our road safety books. It was a great visit with lots of questions being asked about keeping safe and what to expect when school begins! The JRSOs were glad to see their Buddies again too. Thank you to Scott for the super photos!
