Open Afternoon in P5/4C
We were delighted to see so many parents and carers this afternoon in P5/4C. The children enjoyed sharing their learning in Numeracy, Literacy and Health and Wellbeing with a range of activities. All of the adults did a great job with supporting us and joining in, even though it was very crowded and very warm!
Thanks again to all who were able to attend.
School App!!
The countdown is on. Our school app is now available for download and will be formally launched in a matter of days 🙂 More information will be available tomorrow at our open afternoon but in case you are as excited as we are – you can download the app for both android and ios now (paid for by our parent council, thank you!)
Open Afternoon
As mentioned in our monthly newsletter, we will be opening our doors tomorrow afternoon for you to join your child’s class. This is an opportunity for your to see your child, their friends and their teacher during a school day and get a feeling of what school is like. You may enter through the main school doors, or P1-P4 may enter through the P2 door and P5-P7 may enter through the P5-7 door. We know that not everyone can manage along to school – no matter when we plan it – but hope to see many of you, or someone from the extended family. Doors will be open from 2 – 3pm.
Termly Learning Overviews
Please check your emails as term 1 termly overviews have all been sent this morning. If you have not received yours, please contact the school to ensure your email address is accurate. Many thanks.
Hopscotch Performance
We are looking forward to welcoming Hopscotch to our school on Monday 2nd September to perform their new show ‘SPRING-Y’ to our P1-7 pupils.
This adventurous tale will show how friendship and bouncing back from adversity can be supported in Scottish schools. ‘SPRING-Y’ will be an amazing way to support our schools resilience message.
‘SPRING-Y’ is a touching tale about friendship, bouncing back and bending with the wind! It follows the story of Ash and Holly who have been best friends for years but now Holly has to move away. How will the two cope without each other? Together they come up with a plan so that their friendship will last forever.

P4S
We have been very busy in Primary 4 thinking all about the new rules. They are much easier to remember. Then we used them to make our class charter. We each drew ourselves to put on the board. It will help us remember to always be,
Ready, to Respect others and to be Safe.
Nursery – Welcome!
WELCOME
We would like to warmly welcome our new families and children and our returning children and families to our new term. We are passionate about supporting your child’s interests and learning through play and developing our parent/carers partnerships to ensure your child has a happy and fulfilling experience at early years. We take pride in our welcoming, nurturing environment and our staff will do their upmost to ensure your child’s experience of settling in is a positive one. Communication is very important to us and we encourage you to share any information/changes about your child or home that could help us in supporting your child further.
We have new personal plan packs for returning families to complete, these will replace the previous all about me documents that you completed when your child started nursery. The plans will help us to update your child’s details and continue to provide the best care and support for them. These are available beside the sign in/out sheets, please collect a pack and return to us as soon as you possibly can.
SIGN IN/OUT SHEETS
We appreciate how busy our reception area can be and how much of a rush mornings are for our families but can you please ensure you sign your child in (remembering to mention anybody different who may be picking them up) and sign them out again at the end of the day. This register is important for us to know our number of children in the nursery and crucial if we have an emergency evacuation. Many thanks for your support with this.
