There is a lovely smell of home cooking throughout the school this week. Our pupils are thoroughly enjoying our Burns Supper Cook-a-thon and have been learning new skills which will hopefully be useful at home!

Just a reminder to send in £1 to help towards the cost of ingredients – any remaining funds will be used for future cooking activities.

Also, please visit our Photo Gallery to view a selection of photographs from our Scots Language Assembly!

Well Done Everyone!

The pupils and staff have thoroughly enjoyed Scots Language Week and have taken part in some fantastic learning activities!

From learning and writing Scots poetry and songs, hearing Scots stories, building their own Scots ‘toon’ and making Scots Language signs to display around the school, it sure has been a busy week for our pupils!

Throughout the week pupils have had the opportunity to share the Scots poems, stories and songs which they learned at home with their class. Each class also chose a few pupils to perform at our assembly today and we were seriously impressed with their confidence and enthusiasm (photos to follow).

A huge well done to all of the pupils for their hard work!

We are all looking forward to next week’s Burns Supper Cook-a-thon.
