The Action for Happiness Calendar this month  is  all about friendship and finding small ways we can stay connected and feel closer to others. Why don’t you give some of the ideas a try.

Pupils, Parents and Staff had the opportunity to vote for the three shortlisted designs and it was obviously very difficult to choose between the three outstanding entries as the results were very close.

Logo Competition January 2022

It was lovely to come into school this morning and see all the lovely art work that Mrs Mullay has been doing with the bairns, displayed in the corridors. Thanks Mrs Mullay – some talented artists in school.

A big thanks also to Mrs Mullay for organising the ‘MyChildsart’ project last term and thanks to all the parents who purchased items with their child’s art work on.  We received an amazing £186.11 in commission, which will enable Mrs Mullay to buy some more exciting  art resources, to help the bairns produce more high quality pieces of art work.

Looks like an exciting start to the Autumn Term! The teachers have been busy preparing Halloween themed activities. Can you identify your classroom tasks/display?

The bairns can now follow the path safely around the car park to the ‘Trinky’ entrance to the school.

Welcome back everyone, hope you’ve all stayed safe and had a lovely holiday. Please read our start of term newsletter.

Start of term – August 2021 

We hope that you have all had a wonderful summer holiday and have stayed safe and healthy.

We look forward to seeing our Nursery bairns and P2-P7 pupils back and welcoming our new P1s on Wednesday 18 August 2021.

 All Nursery bairns should use the main Nursery front door and P2-P7 pupils should enter through the main school front door. The P6/7 classroom fire exit door will not be used for entering or exiting the school.

Please could parents of P1 pupils drop off at P1 Playground Fire Exit, until your child is confident to travel on school transport or to walk in from the car park on their own or with siblings/friends.

P1 pupils will be accompanied by staff (and later on by P7 buddies) to the buses/car park at 3:00 pm.
