P2/1 pupils take part in daily toothbrushing sessions, helping them develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime. Each day, the children enthusiastically brush their teeth together, learning the importance of good oral hygiene in a fun and supportive environment. The programme encourages independence, builds confidence and helps pupils understand how to keep their teeth strong and healthy. Daily toothbrushing has become a positive part of the school routine, promoting healthy smiles and overall wellbeing.
P2/1 pupils were delighted by the arrival of the mobile library, bringing the joy of reading straight to the school gates. Filled with colourful books and exciting stories, each visit will inspire curiosity and a love of reading.
Our pupils marked a truly special milestone as they celebrated their First Holy Communion. Surrounded by their families, teachers, and parish community, they took part in a tradition that connects them to generations before them, embracing a deeper sense of belonging and faith. It was a day filled with joy, reflection, and a sense of togetherness that will stay with them for years to come.
Anna from YMI brought great energy to P5/6 and P6/7’s first ukulele sessions, getting everyone strumming and smiling right from the start. The classes jumped straight into exploring rhythm, chords, and technique, and the room was buzzing with enthusiasm as pupils discovered how quickly they could make real music together. It was a fantastic introduction to what promises to be an exciting block of learning.
Just before we wrapped up for Christmas, Craig from Operation Play Outdoors returned to school and treated our P4 - P7 pupils to a marshmallow‑toasting session. A perfect way to start the holidays.
We don’t stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.
Many of our children, over the past few months, have developed their knowledge and skills working with Craig from Operation Play Outdoors ... at the same time as growing as young people they've had loads of fun! Thanks Craig
Pupils bring a rich range of experiences and accomplishments from beyond the classroom, and these achievements play an important role in shaping their confidence, character, and personal growth. Whether through participation in sports clubs, involvement in youth organisations, creative pursuits, volunteering, or personal responsibilities at home, pupils develop valuable skills that complement their learning in school. These outwith‑school achievements highlight qualities such as commitment, resilience, teamwork, leadership, and independence. Recognising them helps build a fuller picture of each young person’s strengths and the diverse ways they contribute to their communities.
It's a wonderful day when you discover the person you are writing about is in another part of the school writing about you!
