A huge well done to our 3 Teams who took part in the Currie and Balerno Rotary Quiz at Dean Park Primary School yesterday. It was a very close competition and our 3 teams did incredibly well, working as a team to answer some very tough questions. We were delighted when the final results were announced and our Currie Gold Team came first by 1 point!

P7 had a fabulous week at Benmore last week, caving, climbing, abseiling, mountain biking, high and low ropes courses, canoeing, kayaking, nightline and forest adventures are just some of the activities we got up to.

We enjoyed a lovely assembly on Friday celebrating being Scottish! We enjoyed hearing the winners from each class recite their poems and seeing some beautiful Scottish and Irish dancing. We hope all of our family member who came along to join us enjoyed it as much as we did.

Congratulations to our Sports Hall Athletics team who came in second last week at the city wide competition. A tremendous achievement and our best result ever! we are incredibly proud of everyone who took part!

We were delighted to be asked to make decorations for the C & B News Christmas Tree for the Balerno Christmas Tree Festival this year. I am sure you will agree P2, P3 and P4 did a beautiful job!

P2 performed ‘The BIG Little Nativity’ for us all in school on Wednesday and again on Friday for parents and family members. Both performances were fabulous and we are so proud of everyone in P2 for doing such an amazing job.
