The after school dance club is on a Monday in the hall at 3:00 till 4:00, please get in touch if you want to attend. We hope you have a good time!

As a whole school initiative, our pupils are producing self-portraits to be printed on tea towels.  These would make a lovely Easter gift for family members.  The cost is £5.00 each.  If you would like to place an order,  please get in touch with the office. 

We are delighted to announce that we are holding our second Book Fayre of this session from Thursday 06.03.08 until Tuesday 11.03.08. This will coincide with World Book Day which is on Thursday 06.03.08. Your child will make two visits, one to browse and the other to purchase books, should they wish to.  Parents are warmly invited to visit the Fayre during the school day, on any of these dates, to make purchases on their child’s behalf.                   

 To celebrate World Book Day, pupils (and staff!) are invited to come to school dressed as a character from a book. There will be a prize for the best costume for each stage. Our Parent Council members are already planning their costumes!  A donation on this day of  £0.50 from each pupil would be greatly appreciated.  This is to raise funds for  The Sunshine International Charity Fund, which is a project supporting street children in the Ukraine. This initiative is providing excellent  learning opportunities for our pupils in International Education, Global Citizenship and Enterprise.  Mr. Olyott, our P5/6 teacher, is visiting the project during the Easter holidays. 

The assembly was about a King and his family and some double glazing salesmen came to visit.  They gave the king some cloaks.  One of them was colourful, beautiful and shiny the other was dull, old and ragged.  When the King puts on the nice one it makes him become a mean man and the other one makes him nice. By Meighan

I liked standing on the stage and saying my lines.  I was a child and had to say “Poor King, why are you crying?” By Mhairi

The part I enjoyed most was singing the ‘He’s Mean’ song.I liked singing all the songs and dancing to them too!  The story taught us you don’t need to have everything to be happy.  Abby

My favourite part was when we danced to Mika.  I liked Cameron’s expression when he said WHAT!  My favourite part was when we sung the songs.  I liked Scott as the narrator.  By Ben

I liked it when the King threw the cloak off stage!  I thought the singing was good.  I liked the feast when Abbie and Liam went round with the lobster and duck!  By Neave

On Friday 1st February P6/7’s teacher, Miss Doig left the school to have a baby. She will be back on the last two weeks of this summer. P6/7 are very upset that she left but they had a party for her. It was FUN! We are very sorry she had to leave and we miss her LOTS AND LOTS!

As part of primary 3’s healthy eating topic they have been tasting different fruits. Each week they have a fruit of the week! So far they have tasted mango, papaya, pineapple , kiwi and  blueberries.

Primary 3 have been learning lots about different food types. They now know all about carbohydrates, fruit and vegetables, proteins and dairy foods. They played games on the whiteboard.    

Just a reminder about the Parents’ Information Evening for parents of pupils visiting Dalguise Outdoor Adventure Centre this session. This will take place on Thursday 21.02.08 at 7:00pm.
