Nursery Stay & Play
The nursery children loved their stay & play this week! The children loved having you all in their learning environment and of course really enjoyed exploring the open ended baking discussing the textures, smells and flavours. Thank you to all the parents that attended!
Buddy Reading in P1
P1 enjoyed a visit from their P7 buddies this afternoon, who came down to read a story to them. The P7 children engaged beautifully with P1, reading enthusiastically with fantastic expression and fluency. The P7 children chose great quality picture books which had their buddies smiling, talking about the pictures and laughing at the funny plots. Thank you again P7!
Art Display
Good Afternoon,
During Parental Consultations on Thursday, 10th of October 2019, artwork completed by all our children, across Primaries 1-7 will be on display. This is an opportunity to showcase their learning, following our recent partnership work with the National Galleries. We are sure you will be delighted with what they have produced.
On the night, you will have the opportunity to purchase your child’s work for a fee of £7. All work has been professionally framed and would be a wonderful keepsake.
Regards
Mrs Mooney
