We are delighted to announce we are hosting a Scholastic Book Fair during our parents’ evenings on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. This will be held discreetly in the hall to avoid putting any financial pressure on families. Please see email for further information.
P1 had a brilliant time this week exploring their new Bookbug Family Bags as part of Book Week Scotland. They took part in paired reading and some visitors from home joined in too! @ReadSps
