  • Nursery Trail

    Tue 10 Dec 2019
    A magical Christmas experience for our Nursery children. Many thanks to all who helped in any way with the Trail. Our children had a wonderful time walking though our magical forest to collect the fabulous work they had made for their families, meeting Santa, having stories read by  Mrs Claus, decorating cookies, toasting marshmallows, singing Christmas songs, collecting reindeer food and a party in the minor hall.
  • Santa's Silly Strings

    Fri 06 Dec 2019

    Today our Primary One, Two and Three pupils were treated to a fabulous performance by Mr Heron and his pupils.  "Santa's Silly Strings" performed Jingle Bells and Silence Is Easy and Mr Heron played a beautiful cello solo of Silent Night.  What a wonderful way for our younger children to see the exciting opportunities that lie ahead for them when they get bigger!  Well done to all Mr Heron's pupils for all their hard work.

  • Mr McGrattan's Year 2 Rights Assembly

    Tue 26 Nov 2019
    Many thanks to Mr McGrattan's wonderful Year 2 children on their amazing assembly about rights. The children used some excellent vocabulary and spoke so clearly to remind our boys and girls that they have the right to an education, to play, to learn, to a safe home, to be safe from harm and to have a name. The children sang a beautiful song and performed so well. Congratulations!
