Dear Parent/Carer,

I hope you had a relaxing Easter break and hope you are looking forward to the long weekend – it looks like we could be spending the weekend enjoying the snow!

I am appealing to all parents/carers who drive their children to school. Over the past week there have been two near miss accidents at the school gate. The first was due to unsafe parking and the second was due to parents/carers using the school car park when collecting children.

As a school we work in partnership with Police Scotland to promote safe and responsible parking, however, we all have a responsibility to ensure that our children are safe. I am appealing to everyone to make sensible decisions when dropping off/collecting children. I would like to remind you that parents/carers should not be using the car park.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Dear Parent/Carer,

Welcome to Term 4 in Primary 7/6.  In this last term the children are looking forward to planning and developing their knowledge and understanding of STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Exciting and challenging lessons and activities will be completed by the pupils, using the context of CSI style investigations.  Here the pupils will have the opportunity to develop reasoning and logical thinking within problem solving scenarios.  We are excited about P7 leavers activities and starting with our new roles in P6 in preparation for P7.

Thank you to all the parents and carers who attended our Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) parent information session. For those who were unable to attend, here is the PowerPoint that some of our Technical Troopers, Pupil Council and House Captains brilliantly presented. Thank you to those pupils for giving up their time to share our BYOD journey so far.

Dear Parent/Carer,

Welcome to Term 4 in Primary 5/4. We are looking forward to a busy and fun final term. The highlights of last term included hearing from specialist speakers linked to our Grand Designs topic, P5s attending the Handball Sports Festival and P4s attending the Benchball Sports Festival, and taking part in NYCOS music sessions. This term we have started our new IDL context for learning, Project Planetarium and are looking forward to our session with Cosmos Planetarium.
