On Monday 13th May Matthew Fitt a Scottish author will be visiting Murrayfield to present a workshop to all of the children in P4-7 about writing in Scots language. We would like to invite parents and carers along to the event at 9.15am in the hall where you can watch the workshop and then stay afterwards to join the children in classes to complete a follow up activity. The children have been writing persuasive letters to take home which will go home on Wednesday next week.

Using funding from the Scottish Book Trust we have been able to invite Scottish illustrator Kate Leiper to school on Wednesday 8th May at 9.30am. Kate will present an hour workshop with the children from P1-3 about her books and will be giving them tips on how to draw and illustrate their own stories.

We would like to invite parents and carers to the event to see her presentation with the children. Please come to the school main entrance for 9.30am. Look out for invitations from your child this week.

We hope that everyone had a super Easter and are ready learn in Term 4.
