Mr Gault’s Primary Four class had an exciting surprise today when Mrs Abraham, our school cook, popped into the classroom to ask them to taste-test her brand-new chicken curry recipe.
Our young food critics took their job very seriously and were full of enthusiastic reviews. Words like “creamy”, “delicious” and “yummy” were heard all around the room, and plenty of pupils enjoyed it so much that they came back for seconds... and even thirds!
With reviews like that, we’re expecting a big crowd on the next curry day! Well done, Mrs Abraham — P4G give your new recipe a big thumbs up!
Our P2 children have had a great start to the new school year. We have enjoyed learning about numbers and shapes and had fun during structured play and PE sessions. Our topic is Autumn and we have spent this week studying hedgehogs. We made our own clay hedgehogs, pinching and moulding the clay to create the features. Then we added eyes, a snout and lots of spines. We love our hedgehogs!
Primary 3 have been very excited to begin the new school year. They have really enjoyed settling into their new routines, reconnecting with friends and getting to know each other again. It has been lovely to see them having fun together and making the most of our outdoor classroom, where they enjoyed playing and exploring.

Primary 5 have been busy building their number knowledge at the beginning of term by working on place value. This is a key part of understanding how numbers work.
Using digit cards, pupils explored how the position of each digit affects its value in a number. Through fun, hands-on activities, they created different numbers and deepened their understanding of units, tens, hundreds and thousands. These activities help build strong foundations in numeracy and boost confidence in working with larger numbers.
Well done, Primary 5! Keep up the great work, you’re becoming place value experts!
Our new school year has got off to a wonderful start, with many pupils receiving one of Mr McCambley's Golden Postcards in recognition of their achievements and positive contributions to school life.
These special postcards are awarded to pupils who consistently demonstrate excellence in a wide range of areas. Whether it is producing outstanding work in the classroom, showing exemplary manners, displaying kindness and respect or making a positive contribution to our school community. The Golden Postcards recognise those who go above and beyond.
Receiving a Golden Postcard is a proud moment for our pupils and reflects the values we strive to promote every day. It has been fantastic to see so many children being recognised for their efforts and achievements so early in the school year.
Congratulations to all of our Golden Postcard recipients. We are extremely proud of you and look forward to celebrating many more successes throughout the year.
We were delighted to begin the new school year with a whole school assembly, bringing our community together to celebrate achievement, effort and success.
A particular highlight of the assembly was recognising pupils who have earned awards and accomplishments outside of school. From sporting achievements and performing arts successes to community involvement and personal milestones, it was wonderful to hear about the many ways our pupils are excelling beyond the classroom.
These achievements reflect the dedication, resilience and enthusiasm of our young people and we are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished. Celebrating success both in and out of school helps inspire others and reminds us of the wide range of talents within our school community.
Congratulations to everyone who received recognition. We look forward to sharing and celebrating many more achievements throughout the year.
We are delighted to welcome all of our pupils and the wider school community back to school on Thursday 27 August. We look forward to seeing everyone return for an exciting and successful start to the new school year, with classes beginning promptly at 8.50am. We wish all our pupils, families and staff a happy, positive and successful start to Term 1 and we look forward to a wonderful term ahead.
