Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope you had a happy half-term and got out and about despite the storms. As the weather is still very unreliable and cold please make sure your child has a coat on and also check that uniform is black and white Monday – Thursday. This week Group F were on Outdoor Education and Purple were working with Lily our Holyrood Park Ranger.

Mr Mackay hosted a Lego robotics event for some Seniors and show rehearsals continue at a pace. Next Monday morning we are very excited as the Gaelic Band Tide Lines are giving a concert in our school hall. Always check Twitter for our latest news.

Have a good weekend.

Miss Chad

The looked at the future and the idea of driverless cars and what skills would be required for employment and training in the future.

The task was to programme and drive a Lego robot. We all had great fun learning about direction, angles, rotation and speed.

ASDA DONATION

On the Friday of last term, we had a lovely visit from Sharon Gray, ASDA Community Champion. She came

with her arms full of donations for our Salon, including hairbrushes, shampoo and hand cream! There’s

going to be a lot of pampering going on soon! She also brought a basket of face paints and did some free

face painting at morning break! She promises to come back with some more goodies in the future!
