A huge congratulations to Miss Nicholson who ran the London marathon yesterday in 4 hours 40 minutes! We are all so proud of Miss Nicholson for this massive achievement – and for making it back to school this morning!

Scottish Opera introduced the world of theatre to Currie Primary on the 17^th of April. In preparation for this, P6 have been working hard for the last term to perfect Vikings: Quest for the Dragons Treasure. This production tells the story of Vikings setting out on an epic quest to steal a Dragons treasure. This quest has its challenges as when crafty and rebellious sorcerers hatch an evil plan to steal the gems.

On the run up to the performance day, every spare moment we had was spent practising. The sound of singing echoed through the school and around the playground. We were all really excited about the performance and were counting down the weeks with frantic anticipation. 

On the day, Scottish Opera spent the morning rehearsing with us. They taught us the transitions between songs and how to stand during our performances. They were blown away by how hard we had been practicing.

After all our rehearsals, we finally got to perform our show to our parents. Even though the costumes were hot it was worth it to see our parents proud smiles. The show was a huge success. 

“I can honestly say that it was absolutely AMAZING!” remarked Mrs Pope after the show. Our headteacher, Mrs Hourston, said it was the best performance she had ever seen. We would like to thank the Scottish Opera and Currie Primary for giving us the opportunity to preform in this show. A huge thank you also to our teachers who helped and supported us along the way.

Last term our P3 and P4 classes entered a colouring competition run by Gordon Nicholson Kiltmakers and children’s author Malcolm the Weaver. We had the lovely news this week that the winner of the competition was Erin in P4! Erin won these beautiful books to take home and £200 for our school! Erin has decided that she would like to spend the money on toys/games for the playground so everyone in school can use and enjoy them. As part of the competition Erin designed this beautiful tartan that we are hoping will be made into a kilt! Congratulations Erin!

Our French Phrase of the week this week is

‘Pardon!’ – ‘Excuse me!’

We would like to wish all of our families celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Eid Mubarak, as you mark the end of Ramadan. We look forward to hearing about Eid when we return to school next week.

P4 made this beautiful poster.

We are delighted to have received a donation of scooter accessories from Micro Scooters. Renowned for revolutionising the school run with their iconic 3 wheel scooters, Micro make getting from A-B quicker, cleaner, greener, healthier, and more fun.

The prizes will be up for grabs as part of the May Fayre silent auction and raffle. 

Thank you to our PTA who organised a Spring Colouring Competition for the last week of term. Congratulations to Nam, Cameron and Hugo who were our eventually winners! A very difficult competition to judge as you will see from some of the final entries pictured here.

A beautiful, colourful end to term with our Spring Bonnets in school! Each one was unique and quite simply stunning!

We hope everyone has a lovely break over the Easter holidays… and the sun comes out!

Thank you once again to our dinner staff who made a special lunch for us today.
