The International Group would like to remind everyone that the closing date for the Scottish Photo Competition is officially Friday 15th May. Please bring in a digital copy of the photo and ask your teacher to copy it. Don’t worry if you forget to do this by Friday, we will accept late entries next week also. Have fun!

The International Group are taking final orders for the Fairtrade Recipe Book. The book costs £3 and contains recipes from pupils in our school and from our partner school in Mumbai. Please let your International Group Rep. or teacher know if you would like to order a copy by Friday 22nd May 2015.

We welcomed our visitors from Mumbai to our school yesterday with a wonderful assembly. We showcased some of our many talents and gave them a taste of our Scottish culture. We are all very excited to welcome Kirtida and Suprabha into our classes this week and cannot wait to share our learning with them. It is going to be a very busy but fun filled week at Williamston!

Just to let you know that on Monday 27th April, our friends from our partner school, The Universal School in Mumbai, India, are coming to visit us. The teachers’ names are Kirtida and Suprabha. We will be having a Welcome assembly on Monday and they will be visiting all our classes during the week. Hopefully they will have a good time at our school and in Scotland!
