It was lovely to see our playground so busy last Saturday, for our annual Summer Fair. There were lots of delicious things to eat and drink, lots of games and activities to do, and lots of stalls to browse and buy from!
Huge thanks to everyone on our Parent Council who helped organise the event. So much hard work and planning meant it was a very successful day!
Massive thanks to any adults or pupils who volunteered to help out at a stall or activity too- we couldn’t have done it without you!
Lastly, thanks to everyone who came and bought something, or paid to take part in an activity. We’re very grateful of your support!

We are excited to bring you an update on our Grow a 5er topic.
Over the last few weeks, we have worked hard to create and develop our products and we are now ready to welcome pupils to view and (hopefully) purchase some of our products. We have decided to host a selling afternoon on Wednesday 22nd May on the top floor. We will be inviting all parents of P6, P6/7 and P7 pupils to come and see our products from 1.40pm. We will then be offering all classes from P1-5 the opportunity to purchase our products.
Pupils will be showcasing what is available at Assembly this Friday through some PowerPoint slides. We will also share the same PowerPoint slides on each class page displaying our products and the price of each product. If your child would like to buy something from us then please send them to school on Wednesday 22nd May with the money that they need. There will be change available but if possible exact money would be massively appreciated. In the event that we do not have enough change for all pupils on the day we will get their change to them no later than the end of the day on Friday 24th May.
