About Miss Shepherd: I am delighted to be teaching Primary 5 this year. This is my seventh year of teaching and it is safe to say everyday is a school day - even for us teachers! I love working at Ness Castle as we have such a brilliant and supportive team. I am a big fan of long walks and paddle boarding - especially when the sun is shining. I'd be lost without a cup of tea and I cannot resist a biscuit! 🍪☕

Primary 5 PE days: Kit should be taken to school on a Wednesday and a Friday for PE. Kit can be left in school all week in the PE box in class and then taken home at the end of the week to be washed. A t-shirt and shorts or tracksuit bottoms would be ideal as well as sensible indoor shoes. 👟

Indoor shoes: Pupils should change into their indoor shoes whilst inside the school building. Please get in touch if we can be of any support in helping with indoor shoes. 👟🏀

School Uniform: Should be worn at all times. Royal blue is our colour, wear it with pride! 

Snack and a water bottle: It is important to stay hydrated and eat well in order to learn. Children are asked to take a water bottle to school daily and are encouraged to drink water regularly throughout the school day. It is important to have a snack for break at 10.45am.
