Dear Parent/Carer
We had a wonderful assembly from P3b all about Miss Flora
Clift Stevenson this morning which linked in beautifully with our values. Flora
Stevenson was the first female to sit on the Edinburgh School Board and was
Chairwoman from 1900 until her death in 1905. She strongly promoted equal
education for both boys and girls. We are very proud indeed to have our school
named after her.

We had a super author visit today from Alison Kennedy, an
established author who is now promoting her first novel for children, “Uncle
Shawn and Bill.” She read extracts from her book with children from P5 and
answered questions about the book and her writing. The event was filmed by STV
for their magazine style programme ‘Live at Five’.

World Book Day is on Thursday 2nd March. We would
be very pleased to see everyone dressed as a character from their favourite
book. We are also delighted to welcome author Lari Don to launch her new book
on Thursday. Primary 5 pupils will be able to purchase signed copies after the event for £6.99.
We look forward to meeting with parents/carers on Monday
evening for our Parent Information Evening on Internet Safety. 6.30 pm to
7.30pm in the Music Room. Many thanks to PC Iain Collins.
You may remember that before Christmas, P6 delighted us with
their productions of ‘Oliver with a Twist.’ Maya and Sam then auditioned along
with a number of children from P6 and successfully secured parts in the Oliver
Twist play that will be shown at the Edinburgh festival this summer. Huge
congratulations to them both!
