• School Council Tuckshop on Friday

  Tue 05 Apr 2022

  School Council are raising money for a brand new outside seating area near the adventure playground with wheelchair access by running a tuckshop on Friday 8^th April in the Assembly Hall. There will be lots of different treats and also some healthy options for you to choose from.

  Nursery, P1 and P2 pupils need to bring in £1 and they will get to choose 3 items. P3 to P7 are allowed to bring in £2 or £3 to spend at the tuckshop and prices will range from 20p to 50p. Healthy options will be breadsticks, Frubes, Peperami and fruit. Treat options will be small chocolate bars, mini donuts and Haribo.

  A price list has been sent out as a notification and it has also been saved in the Letters section of the website. We have already raised £500 with our Cash for Clobber but we need over £2000 for the outdoor area so we are going to be having more fundraising events in Term 3.

  Thank you for your support and we are looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday!

• Sustrans Walk and Wheel winners

  Mon 04 Apr 2022

  Congratulations to P1 Mrs Freeburn, P3/4 Mrs Reilly, P6/7 Mr Speers and P7 Mrs Dunne for winning our Walk and Wheel competition. We had some very impressive percentages of pupils walking, cycling and scooting to school so thank you to parents and helpers for encouraging as much active travel as possible over the last 2 weeks. It was a very close competition for some classes so we had to have joint winners for P5 - P7 classes as there was only 0.5% between them!

  The winning classes will have a movie afternoon with hot chocolate and treats some day this week. Well done everyone!
