Flora's Flyer 30th October 2015






Dear Parent/Carer
It’s hard to believe that we are nearly at the end of October. What super fun we had today in our fancy dress outfits. What creative and imaginative costumes. Thank you all. We will use the donations towards the playground development fund. Thank you.

Another busy week. Thank you to the volunteers from the Bank of Scotland who spent the morning in both the school and nursery organising resources and gardening. What a super help. Many thanks indeed! 

Thanks also the dance teacher, Miriam Jame-Griffiths who taught dance to all 20 classes over three days. We had amazing fun and discovered some new moves! 


Thanks are due to the many parents who came to share their work lives with our Primary 3 classes for their topic on ‘The World of Work.’ One parent even brought a Fire Engine along! 

What else? 
Sandi from Edinburgh Zoo came along to tell P6 all about pandas, the SSPCA Animal 999 spoke to all our P4 classes and the P7 classes visited the Scottish Parliament. 

We finished up the week with our super costumes and all three P5 classes playing their ukuleles at assembly after five lessons with the ukulele instructors. A super performance! We sang in French, in rounds and finished by playing the Black Eyed Peas song, ‘I’ve got a Feeling.’ Well done to everyone!

Free Science Workshops.

Life Through a Lens - University of Edinburgh
Workshop for schools. Bringing Cell Biology to life. Taking a dramatic approach to science is helping cell biologists inspire school children. 


We would like to remind everyone that several children in school have severe nut allergies. We would be very grateful if you could bear this in mind when sending snacks into school and avoid sending in any nuts. Many thanks indeed.
