Well done to our first Living Our Values children!
This morning at assembly Miss Burton told us about how when she went to the Lion King with her mum in the summer it reminded her of our school. This is because we all should take pride in our school and have no worries!
We sang our school song and listened/ sang to some songs from the Lion King as well.
She was VERY impressed with our Wonderful Walking at assembly.

Primary 1 sang a buddy song to Primary 7 to thank them for being such supportive buddies. It was a lovely surprise!
In the style of Through the Keyhole, two teams had to use clues to guess the school year, the Primary 7s used memories, interesting facts about school and music as clues.
Primary 7 sang some songs, including this is me, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house!
Miss Burton gave a speech, reminding us that our memories are our greatest treasure and surprised us with a video of our Primary 7 journey.
