We have been learning all about castles. We wanted to know what the different parts of a castle were called. We now  know about a moat , a portcullis and that a knight wears armour. We wanted to make a dragon to fly over our castle, so Miss Glynn helped us to make one . Now we need to think of a name for him.

The deadline for the purchase of school photographs has been extended to Monday 22 April. Kittle Photographic are sending a courier on this date to the school office collect all orders received.

If you miss this deadline, photographs can still be ordered online on the Kittle website.

It looks like the circus is beginning to arrive in Primary 1! The Big Top is taking shape and the circus people are practising their skills. We had some clever clowns practising tumbles, juggling and balancing in gym today.

Many thanks to all the parent/carers who have signed up to have letters and newsletters sent to their e-mail addresses.   If you have not yet signed up, please complete the attached form.

We are now operating this system and hope that you enjoy keeping up with all our news this way!

Primary 1 are going to be learning about The Circus! We watched Dumbo at the end of last term and because the boys and girls enjoyed it so much we thought we could learn what it would be like to be in a circus.
