It was lovely to welcome back some ex-pupils on Friday who came along to teach our P7 classes during their German lesson.

Each year, World Book Day is always a favourite day for us in school! The costumes and headbands this year were fantastic and everyone was involved in a variety of tasks and live lessons based around books and reading. Tesco provide breakfast for P1-P3 + our Reading Council who enjoyed a variety of croissants, fruit scones, yogurts and fruit in the library while reading their books as a thank you for planning this event for us.

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!
