A Message From Mrs Purdie
After a lively summer break all pupils have settled well into the new school session especially the Primary One pupils. The Primary Seven buddies have taken on their roles exceptionally well and are a credit to the school. We welcome Miss Timmins to our school community and wish her a successful year in Primary One. Friendship week took place on Monday 26th – Friday 30th of August and it was lovely to see signs of positive behaviour throughout the school.

Primary 6 – w/e 30.8.13
Primary 6 have had a great first fortnight back at school!
We have started our Highland Clearances topic which is based around the novel ‘The Desperate Journey’ and chosen our articles for Rights Respecting Schools. As part of this, we have created a class ‘expectations’ charter which we have all signed up to.
Yesterday, we helped the countryside trust plant some wild flowers near the cemetery. Mrs Traynor apologises for the mucky children who went home last night!
We finished off our week by celebrating mass with Father Paul Lee who used to go to our school! We wish Father Paul all the very best and congratulations on his Ordination.
Primary 3 week ending 30th August
Another busy week in primary 3! We have started our new topic ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ and can’t wait to complete different activities and tasks! We are also beginning to learn our times tables and are going to be tested every week! We also discussed what rights we would like to have in our class and created a very colourful display about them! Today we are celebrating our first mass in this school session.
