This year the RRSA Committee have decided to hold our school’s Day for Change on Friday 18th March. To start the day, we will have a whole school sponsored walk around the village green dressed in our Onesies or PJs. There will then we a cake sale at break time and afterwards the RRSA Reps will hold a mini assembly in each class to inform the pupils about Day for Change.
This year Day for Change focuses upon children living in emergencies and how their rights are not always met. The money raised will go towards helping children in areas suffering from natural disasters, children living in violence, children living in worn-torn countries suffering from disease and refugee families who have no clean water.
Please look out for the sponsor sheet in your child’s school bag today and help towards one of our chosen charities. There is also a family challenge we would like all families to take part in!
Today you will receive a personal invitation from your child to attend their topic showcase afternoon, however we like to ensure everyone has the times for each class so that you can see all of the pupil learning that has been going on.

We were very fortunate to have live ducks in class as part of our Water Creatures Topic. We learned so much including that ducks quack very loudly when they are afraid. We also learned ducks cannot be toilet trained. A big THANK YOU to Mrs Brodie, Amiee from Primary 7 and Mrs Main-Reade.
Pupils have been learning about the balance between the different sea creatures and made their own representations of a diverse sea habitat. The photographs show great concentration as pupils work to adding fish, coral, starfish etc.
Our violin and cello teacher was due to return on Friday 4th March. Due to an unforeseen engagement, he will now return on Friday 11th March therefore pupils who receive string tuition should bring their instruments on this day.
