Our P5 violinists are doing great work in their lessons.
Their persistence and practice is really paying off and they are starting to use musical notation.
Well done and keep bowing!

Scottish Book Trust Schools Event with Joseph Coelho
Thursday 22nd February
Joseph Coelho will be in school to see children in from P4-P7.
Joseph is a performance poet and playwright who is “a fresh new voice in children’s poetry”. He works tirelessly to dispel the view that poetry is “boring” with his fun and exciting poetry.
Following the event Joseph will sign copies of his books. If your child already owns copies please get them to bring them along to be signed.
Your child can also buy copies of Joseph Coelho’s books on the day (see attached letter for prices).
Children are under no obligation to buy books but if you would like them to we are able to accept cash and cheques (please make them out to Scottish Book Trust).
Natalia in P5 and our cub scout group was awarded with The UK Scout Association Meritorious Conduct Award on Monday 27th November.

Natalia is the first Young person in our scout group to be awarded this prestigious honour.
She received the Cornwell Medal, a certificate and also a letter of congratulations from Chief Scout Bear Grylls.
Congratulations Natalia.
P5 have been investigating life during the Victorian era.
We are very interested in Victorian schools, so one morning we visited the History of Education centre in Leith.
We dressed up in a typical Victorian school uniform. Then had some lessons from a very strict teacher.
We enjoyed the experience but found the schools and the teachers very different from schools today.
P2B worked brilliantly with their partners from P5 to plan and make promotional posters for their Children in Need bake sale
