The Big Brunch
For ‘Day for Change 2013: Focus on Food’ the Pupil Council are running ‘The Big Brunch’ on Friday 8th February 11am-12noon in the school dining hall.
On offer will be a continental style brunch with croissants, cheese slices, fruit kebabs, pain du chocolat and fruit juice. These will be charged at 50p each. The pupils will visit the brunch with their own class but parents are welcome to come at the child’s class time.
P1-2 – 11-11.20am
P2-5 – 11.20-11.40am
P5-7 – 11.40 – 12pm
As part of our Rights Respecting school ethos we feel that this is an important issue to make our pupils aware of.
Scottish Poetry Competition
Today we held the final of the ‘Scottish Poetry Recitation’ competition, where 3 pupils from each stage were judged by a panel of 3 adults, who included Mrs Allison, Mrs Caddel and Mrs Stanners.

P1
1st: Lauren 2nd: Jacob 3rd: Will
P2
