• Accelerated Reading Word Millionaire Pizza Party

  Today we celebrated with all those boys and girls who had become Accelerated Reading Word Millionaires - some double and indeed triple Word Millionaires - throughout the school year.  Seated in their class bubbles pupils had an opportunity to enjoy a pizza party and some celebratory cake.  Well done to these girls and boys on a fabulous achievement  and to all those in Primary 5-7 who have made such an amazing effort engaging with the programme this year.  Also thank you to Mrs. Matthews (Literacy Co-ordinator) for all her work in managing this very successful programme in our school.
