Room 2 are having a visit from the charity 'Nil by Mouth' for the book 'Neeps and Tatties'. Neeps and Tatties is written in Scots and is all about kindness and understanding. 

On the morning of the visit, some copies of the book will have been hidden on the routes to school - in bushes, at bus stops, on fences. Keep an eye out for them and if you find a copy, it's yours to keep! Children from all classes can find  and keep the books that have been hidden!

Good luck and happy book hunting!

We have a very special family fun event this December at St Machar’s Cathedral.
