Burns Day Celebration success
Wednesday’s ‘Rabbie Burns’ afternoon was a wonderful event. We enjoyed some Scottish cuisine for lunch, accompanied by special guests including Mrs Robertson, Mrs Henry and Mrs Renton. Mrs Blyth provided a very inspiring ‘Address to the Haggis’ and Ailsa McNeil performed on the bagpipes ( a hidden talent!). Parents and friends then joined us for a showcase of poetry and dance with Mrs Mary White performing ‘To a mouse’. To finish the afternoon, everyone was offered shortbread and tablet – all of which was made by the pupils. It was a really super afternoon, demonstrating the ongoing dedication of our staff and the abilities of our children.
Borders Netball Competition
A team of Primary 6 and 7 girls took part in the annual Borders Netball competition this week. With help from Helen Gibson and Raquel Lloyd-Jones, the team worked really hard and we are all very proud of their attitude. Well done girls.
More new playground equipment
The remaining playground equipment has now been installed, courtesy of the Tesco Bags of Help grant. Adding to the gazebo, our buddy bench and other items will provide more outdoor play opportunities for the children.
Daily Mile
This week saw every pupil taking part in The Daily Mile every day. Whilst there have been some red faces, the positive impact of this daily exercise cannot be undervalued.
PFA meeting
A reminder about Monday’s (30th January) PFA meeting. Please come along at 6.30pm for this terms update and discussion of school related matters.
Head Lice
Please be vigilant as this is still in school. Thank you.

Alastair: I helped baked empire biscuits. I like baking.
Eden: We had neeps, haggis and mashed potatoes for snack on Wednesday. It was Burns day, we celebrated Robert Burns birthday.
Lawson; Mrs Blatchley read me the Gruffalo’s Wean, it sounded funny. It had Scottish words. They said a moose instead of a big bad mouse.

In school we have been playing with our friends. Last week we made robots using foam blocks, pipe cleaners and sticky labels. We wrote something that they were saying in a speech bubble. We have learned 2 new sounds this week; er and ue. For Burns night we made bunting with thistles and flags on it and we made drawings of kelpies and selkies. It was tartan day and we made tablet and dressed up. We sang songs for an audience of our grown-ups. Lyra read the Selkirk Grace.
