Farewell to The Queen Of Craigshill!

As we say goodbye to Mrs. Mullen, we want to express our deepest gratitude for everything she has done for our school community. Known fondly as the Queen of Craigshill, her retirement has been celebrated in true royal fashion—with not just one event, but a season of appreciation!

For the past five years, Mrs. Mullen has been a guiding light at Riverside and Letham PS, greeting children every morning with warmth and making everyone feel welcome and valued. She embodies our Craigshill Schools values—belonging, kindness, respect, and creativity.

Whether solving challenges with grace, spreading joy through her infectious energy, or ensuring everything runs smoothly, she has been an irreplaceable part of our team. Her dedication, positivity, and unwavering support for both staff and students will leave a lasting legacy.

Although we will miss her dearly, we know this is not goodbye—just see you soon.

Thank you, Mrs. Mullen, for being the heart of our school. You will always have a special place in our Craigshill family.

 

Rhyme of the Month

As we continue to learn about Spring, we have chosen our April ‘Rhyme of the Month’ – 5 little daffodils. The children have been creating their own interpretations of daffodils through various art activities which they have proudly displayed alongside our rhyme.

Through this rhyme, the children have been exploring and developing their number recognition 0-5 forward and backwards.

Craigshill Living Museum

Both schools hosted their living museums this week, showcasing all their hard work with their ancient history topics! Parents had a chance to try out a range of different activities from Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, The Mayans, The Celts and more!

We are all extremely proud of their amazing work and they fantastically demonstrated how much they enjoyed this topic!

Spring has Sprung!

We have began to explore our new topic of ‘Spring’. We have explored lots of signs of spring as we went out local walks and have began discussing this in small groups. This is being evidenced in our nursery floorbook. We will continue to update this over the coming weeks with more Spring based experiences.
