This Friday will be a dress down day to collect chocolate donations for our Christmas Fayre. It is also 'Be Bright Day' to raise awareness of winter road safety. Children are encouraged to wear something bright/fluorescent to help them be noticeable on the way to and from school.

In class today, Room 11 analysed the lyrics of the Scottish national anthem 'Flower of Scotland' linked to their Scottish Wars of Independence topic. They demonstrated brilliant creativity — being curious about the lyrics and confidently sharing their interpretations.
