Well I am sure that you have heard from the children all about the super new classrooms, we are just simply delighted with them. They are so light and airy and we now have so much more room.

The Pr 5/6's had their new room all to themselves having no Pr 7's in whilst they were away on the school trip. They loved that, but also enjoyed lots of time with the new PE teacher who is going to be with us this term.

Mrs Walkers class have settled in well and were simply little stars helping me out the other day to move books and boxes from the staffroom to Mrs Walker's old room.

Mrs Gilchrist and Pr 1/2/3 have been delighted to become proud new owners of the SMART interactive white board from the Pr 5/6/7 class so there is lots going on with technology in there. I was amazed to hear the children in Pr 1/2/3 tell me about exo skeletal creatures! Wow!

I have to say a HUGE, "THANK YOU" to every one who helped, this has been such a busy week but staff and children have done the most amazing job. Our school is looking brilliant!

Pr 7 in the mean time had a great trip to Edinburgh, we did some amount of walking but what a great time we had, the children were so well behaved. We went to the National Gallery of Scotland, the Castle where we dressed up, did some retail therapy and met Mr McNeil which was lovely. Enjoyed a slap up meal at the Youth Hostel, was scared witless on a Ghost tour of the Royal Mile, slept soundly (and they really DID sleep). We questioned the MSP's about potholes, and fuel prices, the children sat on me so unfortunately I could not chip in during the fuel price debate which we saw, and finally was travelled through time at Dynamic earth where a 4D Rhino chased us!!!!! Willie Archibald did a great job of the driving and we drove past Grey Friars Bobby and through the town, taking us home, we even squeezed in a MacDonald's where Mrs MacDonald would not leave until the ice cream machine was fixed!

So I would say all in all 12 very tired but happy children arrived back to Fort with 3 tired and happy teachers!

We also said, " Hello " to two new pupils this week, but are also sorry to have had to say, "Goodbye" to two others. We wish them all the very best in thier educational journey where ever that takes them!

ROLL ON THE WEEKEND!! Emmmm .......... was it REALLY ONLY ONE WEEK!!!!!!!
