Our blog

We were delighted to have Barry Hutchison with us on Monday. The children were really inspired to write and we have posted the first drafts of these stories to Barry for him to edit. These stories will eventually be illustrated and published. We aim to have a book launch on Wednesday 24th March. Every child in the school will have a story in the book.

Barry will return on the 2nd Feb to talk to the children about their story, make changes and move onto the final draft.

The stories all have a , "Eco" theme to them as the children are have been learning about this in class and will do more work on the Eco - school next term when the weather is better.

We are finalising the cost of the Pr 7 trip and it looks like it will be an exciting few days, the letters will be out next week with all the information, we have tried to keep the cost to an absolute minimum, and I think the children will get very good value for money.

The snow now has all gone for the moment any way which is good, but this means we are left with the muddy field. Access is restricted to Pr 4 -P r 7 only but please can children bring a change of shoes for indoors and to perhaps wear wellies! It is rather squelchy out there!

Building works is moving on and we ordered the new classroom furniture this week so that is another step in the right direction.

The school brochure is also in the process of being updated for the enrolment which will happen for Pr 1 during the first week of Feb and for the nursery during the week beginning 22nd Feb.

Enjoy your haggis, neeps and tatties!
