Ditch the Dark Day 2025

It was wonderful to see the children shining bright on Friday for Ditch the Dark Day as well as all the bikes and scooters with accessories. 

During our School Assembly we talked about the importance of being bright and safe on dark days when actively travelling to and from school.  Thank you to everyone for participating in this fun and enjoyable day and for the effort that was put into outfits and accessorising bikes and scooters.

Huge well done to our winners of Brightest Scooter and Brightest Bike who won lights to accessorise their bike and scooter and help them stay safe.

It was a touch decision when judging the Brightest Class but congratulations must go to Mr Mitchell’s Primary 6 class, our deserving winners.  They were awarded a trophy to display in their classroom and a little sweet treat.

As a school we are always encouraging active travel to school and run a monthly class competition.  Congratulations to Mrs Peacocke’s P5 class for winning the Sustrans trophy and extra play time for having the highest rate of active travel for the month of January.

Please enjoy looking through the photos of a very memorable day!

Primary 1 Baby Visit

 

P1 had a very special visit from Mrs Brown's grandson, baby Carter and his lovely mummy, Caroline to help them with their Baby Topic.  Carter's mummy brought in lots of equipment that she needed for baby Carter and talked to us about how she uses it all.  We asked lots of interesting questions and learnt lots about babies.   Thank you so much Caroline and Carter for coming to visit Primary 1.  We loved having you in school and there was a very proud Granny!

Primary 3’s Egg-citing Big Buggy Race!

This week, Primary 3 class put their creativity and scientific curiosity to the test with a fantastic investigation involving toy buggies made from egg cartons.

The children designed their own buggy and showcased a wonderful selection of colourful designs on the starting grid. The fun didn’t stop there as the budding engineers went on to race their vehicles on various surfaces to observe how the different textures affected the speed and performance of their buggies.

From the smooth wooden floor in the assembly hall to bumpy tarmac in the playground we tested the buggies to their limit! The children had great fun and enjoyed a healthy dose of competition. It was a joy to see their excitement as they cheered on their buggy and their competitive spirit was infectious!

Well done, Primary 3!
