Last Friday saw the launch of our school bank. In conjunction with The Royal Bank of Scotland, it will be run by pupils appointed from Primary 7. Our bank will be open for business each Friday morning for all our savers who have opened an account. Anyone wishing further information about joining the bank should see Mrs Smith.

We popped into the nursery and we got some comments from the kids.

Our fundraiser this Christmas is to create 12 page calendars featuring the children in photograph.  Along with the children’s photos we are offering the opportunity for local business to advertise on a month of the calendar for a donation towards printing costs.   The more donations we have the greater the profit we can make for the school. This would also offer effective advertising for small local businesses.

We are looking for around £40 donation per entry.  If any parents, friends or relatives would like the opportunity to advertise please contact the numbers below to organise by Thursday 12th November.

Thank you very much for your continued support

As part of the reading challenge in P4, P5, P5/6, pupils contribute a short book review to the school blog.  This is Katie’s book review on The Worry Website by Jacqueline Wilson.
This book is by Jacqueline Wilson and is called The Worry Website.  The story is all about ‘the worry webiste’ where people type in their worries and the webiste gives them ideas of how to sort their problems.  Mr Speed sets up the website for his class and the story tells us about his pupils worries and what might help them.  I found this book quite good and I wwould give this book 8 out of 10.

We have fun learning maths in an active way!

Today was the first of 6 Feis rois sessions for p5/6 and the Primary 6 pupils from P6/7.  What do you think of our music making?

Our nursery boys and girls (and the staff!) enjoyed a fun filled session last Friday when they had a Halloween party. What do you think of the costumes?

Many thanks to all our readers and especially those who leave us comments.  We have now closed for the October break.  Pupils return to school on Thursday 29th October.  Have a happy holiday!

Remember, your challenge over the holidays is to find a really unusual/interesting place to do some reading.  Don’t forget to get someone to take a photo of you!

Many thanks to all those who managed to attend our Literacy Afternoon on Wednesday.  If you did attend, please leave us a comment about the afternoon.  If you are a pupil, please tell us what you were doing in your class on the Literacy Afternoon.
