I would like to wish you all a very happy October holiday. For most of you this is a VERY long holiday. This is to allow for staff training on the Curriculum for Excellence. The school does not re-open until Thursday29th October.

Thank you very much to all the mum's, dad's and grannies who attended the Harvest Thanksgiving service at the church today. The children say really well and said their poems with confidence.

We have had a busy day today getting ready for the renovations in the nursery, the staff have now cleared the nursery and the workmen move in next week. The porta cabin is empty and will be taken away at the beginning of the week, the school office is also empty ( I never knew it was SO big!!) So the school will look a little different when we come back.

The Fairy Queen arrived to school today and the the Pr 1/2/3 class were delighted to have her at their party.
As part of the RME lessons Pr 5/6/7 spoke to Mr Varwell in the church and walked down to the Catholic Church in the afternoon to see Father Stuart. We had a very interesting day and the children learnt about many of the similarities and differences in the two faiths.
Pr 3/4/5 have been really getting involved in their active maths lessons which is all about making maths fun and engaging through participating in maths games. This can also help children turn take and to work in groups.

Finally please can parents whose children travel by bus continue to remind their children that they MUST wear seat belts at all times on the bus.

Have a super holiday and we shall look forward with much excitement to next term, beginning with the Halloween party on the 30th October... Halloween is coming!

Kindest Regards
