Tempest Group Photos – P1, P7 and Basketball Team

On Wednesday 1st May we will have group photos for P1, P7 and our basketball team taken by Tempest Photography.

Primary 1 children should wear their school uniform as usual on that day.

Primary 7 children should wear their school tie and a shirt, if your child needs to borrow a shirt from the office can you please let the office staff know in advance. We would request that the P7 children also bring along their leavers’ hoodie so that we can get a group photo of them. They can also wear their hoodie to their trip later that afternoon.

Any child who has played in our basketball team will also have a photo. We have school shorts and a team t shirt for these children to wear for the photo.

Primary 1 Class Trip

P1 had a fantastic trip to Mill Farm today. They experienced sun, rain and hail all in the one day but that didn’t stop the fun! This was a great way to finish our ‘Let it Grow’ topic as the children were able to meet lots of animals and ask the staff questions. We were so impressed with the excellent behaviour, manners and interest shown from all the children.
