A group of fifty Primary 7 pupils and five teachers have just returned from the annual school trip to Holland. In a packed itinerary over five days they really enjoyed sampling the culture of another European country. The school party stayed at the Hotel Sea You, a one school hotel, in the coastal resort of Noordwijk which formed the base from which a wide variety of activities and visits were undertaken. The trip provides a tremendous opportunity for pupils to transfer their curriculum knowledge and understanding into practical real life skills. Thankfully the weather was good, food was plentiful, lots of fun was evident and the whole experience will be remembered for years to come. Once again the pupils should be thanked for their excellent behaviour and manners which were commented on from fellow airline passengers, airline crew, coach drivers, shop keepers and hotel owners. Organising the trip for 2019 is now under way so all those pupils interested in Primary 6 keep alert!

A short musical evening has been organised by Miss Spiers for parents and friends. It will take place on 24th May. To ease congestion in the hall there will be two performances - one starting at 7pm and one at 8pm. This short concert will involve many of the P4 children who take music tuition in school plus our guitar groups and children taking individual lessons. Further information will follow.
