Our new pupils are settling in
very well and we look forward to our Primary One pupils staying full-time from
Monday 25 August.
Everyone looks so smart in their
school uniform. Thank you for your support.
Several classes are enjoying
visits to the Book Festival to listen to inspiring authors and illustrators.
Many thanks to our parent helpers who are accompanying our pupils on these
trips.
A warm welcome to our new Primary
1s! They have been working together on bear related activities and will end
their project with a teddy bears’ picnic on Friday 29th August. At
the same time, our Primary 2 Pirates have been rescuing the Flora’s treasure
from the Swashbuckling Stevenson. They have been making pirate jewellery,
reading maps and building dens after a shipwreck! A pirate party will be held
on Friday 29th August. Children can come to school dressed as a
pirate!
The school is closed for
pupils on Monday 15 September for a holiday and on Thursday 18 September. This
is an In-service Day for staff.
Wet weather.
If it is raining in the morning,
children may come into school from 8.40am. Primaries 1and 2 may come into the
old hall through the main entrance. Primary 2/3 and Primaries 3 to 7 should
enter through the dining hall door and line up in the dining hall.
Finally, a reminder that the cost
of school lunches has increased to £1.90.
Best wishes
Irene Brennan
Head Teacher
