School Christmas Show – McTivity (P1-3)

Well I am sure everyone who came to see our Primary 1-3 Christmas Show this week will agree that all of our pupils put on an excellent performance and all their hard work over the last few weeks paid off. Once again I wish to say a very big THANK YOU to all the staff who without their hard work events such as this would not take place and a massive WELL DONE to all of our Primary 1-3 pupils who gave us a fantastically wonderful Christmas Show! We are so proud of you all!

We are now very much looking forward to our Upper Primary Christmas Show – ‘The Stars are Coming Out for Christmas’ will be held on Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th December in the afternoon. I look forward to welcoming you then.

St Andrew’s Day

It was lovely to see so many of our pupils wearing a ‘Touch of Tartan’, or in some cases a great deal of Tartan to celebrate St Andrew’s Day on Thursday of this week. The whole school was very colourful and certainly and made us all feel very patriotic. We also celebrated with some traditional Scottish shortbread, washed down with some Irn Bru!

To support awareness of this special day our Pupil Council arranged an ‘in-house’ art competition for each class. They have been learning about the myth of the Wild Haggis and producing a drawing of what we think it might look like! Our Pupil Council are now busy judging the entries and will announce the winners in each class at next week’s Assembly.

Read Write and Count – P2 and P3 Family Engagement/Learning Event

Thank you to everyone that attended our Read, Write, Count Family Engagement/Learning Events for Primary 2 and Primary 3 this week.

The aim of the Read, Write, Count Campaign delivered by the Scottish Book Trust is to encourage families to include reading, writing and counting activities in their everyday lives and become actively engaged in their child’s learning journey.

We held a mini gifting event where families had the opportunity to sit with their child and together explore the contents of the bag and get ideas on how everyday activities can be used to enhance and celebrate our children’s literacy and numeracy skills. For pupils whose parent/family members were unable to attend, do not worry, a Primary 7 pupil explored the items in the bag with them.

This was a wonderful opportunity and I was delighted to see so many of you there.

Into Film Festival

Primary 3 went to the Burns Centre for the Into Film Festival and watched Harold and the Purple Crayon. It was such a great film from what I hear.

Maths Week 2024

Primary 2 and Mrs Glendinning have been very busy planning some fun and exciting activities for Maths Week which will run from Monday 23^rd September to Friday 27^th September. Each class will have a learning event which will either take place in the hall or in their classroom.

We were thrilled so many parent/carers from each class were able to join us for these learning events.

Meet the Teacher PowerPoint –

Please see below the Meet the Teacher Power-Point from the Primary 3 Class Teachers so that you can put a face to the name and also be aware of other individuals who may be in supporting the class during the week. This Power Point also shares with you information on the work being covered this session and provides information on the organisation of the work regarding Homework, Journey Books, PE etc.

Class teachers will continue their regular communication to keep connected and share with you the learning and teaching taking place in your child’s class and the Home/School Diaries are also there for your use to support strong communication links between home and school.

Nevertheless, if you have any concerns or queries, at any time, please contact the school to arrange a meeting, so that matters can be dealt with promptly. Our policy is to deal with any worries or concern you or your child may have quickly for ease of mind.
