Scottish Poetry Competition!

Both schools had a brilliant assembly this week celebrating Robert Burns and all things Scotland. We had a whole school quiz on Scots language, we sang Scottish songs with enthusiasm and enjoyed the poetry recitals from our amazing finalists. Huge well done to our winners!

Police Visit!

This week, both schools had a visit from PC Drummond to learn more about the role of the Police and keeping us safe. P1,2 and 3 learned about what police do, different resources and modes of transport they use to keep our community and others safe. Primary 4-7 learned more about the importance of being safe online and hate crime. We all took away an important message and want to thank PC Drummond for coming in to our school to see us.

Merry Christmas!

What a final week of exciting festive activities. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of the staff at Letham and Riverside Primary School!

A week of Christmas performances!

We had a super week this week celebrating all things Christmas at both Riverside and Letham Primary. Our Primary 1 and 2 children performed a fabulous ‘Twinkly Nativity’. All Primary 3-7 children at both schools took part in a Christmas singalong performance. Our school choir were also lucky enough to be invited along to sing at the opening of the new Lidl store.

We are so proud of all of our pupils!

Our Library Corners

Our aim is to encourage EVERYONE to read for pleasure so every class took part in our annual book corner decoration competition. All classes worked hard to create cosy, inviting reading spaces and gave the judges a very difficult job! After a lot of deliberating they choose 2 winners from each school. The winners from Riverside were P1 with ‘We’re Wild about Reading’ and P6/7 with ‘Hot Flame – All You Can Read Buffet’. From Letham our winners were P1 with their ‘Your mind is a garden and books are the seeds’ and P5 with their coffee shop themed corner where they ‘Read a Latte’. Take a look at all of the entries below…
