Since the start of this term, P5N have been learning to play the recorder. We now have a few songs under our belt and wanted to share one with you. Click the photo below to see a video of P5N playing ‘Mike Oliver’s Tanktop’.
Our playground at the rear and side of the school will be resurfaced this week. As a result we will be closing the bottom staff car park for use as a playground. For the safety of pupils during this time there will be no access to the top of Gateside Road for non-essential vehicles. We ask that you please walk to school if you are able.
In the interest of traffic flow, if you need to travel by car, please approach the school via Gateside Road and turn right near the top of the hill onto Taylor Road. Please deposit children safely on the pavement side, thereafter leaving the area via Ireland Avenue. Alternatively, please park at the bottom of the hill and walk up to school.
We thank you for your co-operation in keeping our children safe and maintaining traffic flow.
We have been learning:
Well done to Cora and Priya for writing excellent instructions. Miss McLachlan now knows how to weave Tartan!
Well done girls 🙂
P7M have had their individual parents evening times handed out today- they are in this week’s homework diary page.
I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday.

Primary 4 have been learning to create our own comic strips. We also have had great fun role playing and videoing these!
