• Goodbye Reverend Thompson!

  Tue 18 Jul 2023 Mrs Fish

  Today we said our fair wells to Rev’d Thompson who is moving on to a new Parish. The children thanked him and wished him well for the next new chapter of his life. They wrote blessings and prayers which they read to him in our assembly. Adrian was then presented with a cake and a watercolour painting for his new home.

• Author Visits Primary 4

  Fri 07 Jul 2023 Fiona Taylor

  This week author, Alex Mullarky, visited our school and she led a workshop for the children in Primary 4. Her book, The Sky Beneath the Stone, is one of the books suggested for the 2023 Reading Challenge which the children can sign up for by logging on to: https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk. First they set a reading goal and log your books on your profile. When they  reach their goal, they will unlock a virtual badge and certificate. The Ready, Set, Read! Book Collection has been specially chosen just for you by an expert group of readers for the Summer Reading Challenge.

  It is jam-packed with fun imaginative books to keep you active, get rewards, play games and earn badges as you discover awesome books to read.

  Alex explained the process of having a book published from the initial notes on paper to the final, illustrated book on the shelf. She also guided the children through a writing task - helping them with descriptive language amongst other skills used when writing a book. Many children purchased a copy of Alex's book and enjoyed having it signed by her. Thank you Alex.
