Today Primary 1 enjoyed performing their Katie Morag Assembly to the school children, Parents/Carers and friends. Their hard work and effort was evident throughout. Well done Primary 1.
P7 Camp
A tip for parents of P7 pupils going to camp next week. I learned this tip from another parent and I think it is helpful for helping to organise your child’s suitcase.
If you put each day’s set of clothes into one labelled plastic carrier bag, one for Thursday, one for Friday and one labelled for the disco, it helps them to stay organised and to wear suitable clothes for the outdoor activities. In the past we have had pupils wearing clothes meant for the disco during the day, leaving them old outdoor clothes for the disco. This can be really upsetting for some pupils.
Please make sure they have suitable gloves, plenty of spare socks and their towel.
I’m really looking forward to going. We will have a great time – lets hope for some dry weather.

P3 Scottish Focus
As part of our Scottish focus this term, P3 have been learning about tartan. We looked at how tartan is made and have been practising weaving our own tartan designs.
Within Literacy, we have been learning Scots vocabulary. Everyone did an excellent job of learning a Scots poem and reciting it in front of the class. Well done to Emma-Leigh and Jacob who did a super job when reciting a poem to the whole school at assembly!
We used our knowledge of Scots vocabulary to write new verses for the poem ‘Three Craws’ and then created our own rhyming Scots poems with the title ‘The Fower Doos’.
Scottish Assembly
A reminder that all parents/carers are welcome to attend our Scottish assembly on Friday 24th January at 9.10 a.m.
Tea/coffee/shortbread will be served from 9.00 a.m.
We look forward to seeing you then.

Poems will be sent home on Wednesday 8th January
Scots Focus Homework – due Friday 17th January

The Sair Finger by Walter Wingate
You’ve hurt your finger? Puir wee man!
Your pinkie? Deary me!
Noo, juist you haud it that wey till
I get my specs and see!
My, so it is – and there’s the skelf!
Noo, dinna greet nae mair.
See there – my needle’s gotten’t out!
I’m sure that wasna sair?
And noo, to make it hale the morn,
Put on a wee bit saw,
And tie a Bonnie hankie roun’t
Noo, there na – rin awa’!
Your finger sair ana’? Ye rogue,
You’re only lettin’ on.
Weel, weel, then – see noo, there ye are,
Row’d up the same as John!
Mince and tatties by JK Annand
IÂ dinna like hail tatties
Pit on my plate o mince
For when I tak my denner
I eat them baith at yince.
Sae mash and mix the tatties
Wi mince into the mashin,
And sic a tasty denner
Will aye be voted ‘Smashin!’
