Our amazing new playground mural is finished. Our art club have worked so hard on it with the support of artist Damian Callan. Damian and the club has been working with Mrs Dong and children in P6 and P7 to create a mural which celebrates our links with Scotland and China.
We hope to see it installed by the next school year.
Pupils, parents and staff all enjoyed a wonderful Eid and end of term celebration after school on Tuesday.
The hall was packed, and there were lots of delicious treats for everyone to taste from around the globe.
We had amazing activities too from archery to balloon modelling

The whole school enjoyed a performance from ESRE (Edinburgh Schools Rock Ensemble) on Friday 14th June. The band are made up of talented musicians and singers from across the High Schools in Edinburgh.We learned about the instruments in the band and listened to a selection of songs from the bands latest set. The children loved singing along to Sunshine on Leith.

P4 & P4/3 are going to have a book & bake sale as part of their ‘running a business enterprise’ & ‘Make a Difference’ topic. The plan is to have it on the morning of Wednesday 26th June in P4 & P4/3’s classroom. (One room will sell books and the other room will sell the cakes.) We are hoping to raise money for 2 local charities, Gorgie Farm& Gorgie Food Bank.
If you would like your child to buy cake or books do send some cash in on the 26th.
P5 has been working hard all year towards their Discovery level John Muir Award. Pupils have to discover and explore a wild place. We visited Corstorphine Hill on a number of days during the year. They had to help with a conservation activity and for this the class helped sow a wildflower meadow in Murieston Park which will come into flower in July or August – feel free to visit! Finally the had to share their learning with others. The class has had a lot of fun and led an assembly on 10th June to share what they had done. Well done all!

We had a great morning in the pool on Wednesday 5th June. For some children it was their first time in a swimming pool! Thank you to all the parents who came along and made this trips possible!
Our children who will start P1 enjoyed a very exciting Moving Up Day with their parents in the hall, before enjoying some time in their new classrooms. They all left with a decorated box of goodies to help them get ready for P1 over the summer break.
Thanks to Miss Kelly and Mrs Mason for organising this very well attended and successful event.
