Great to see more photographs today of everything you have been doing.  Currie pupils are going to be fantastic bakers by the end of the home learning time as well as the fittest kids in school with all the Joe Wicks workouts going on. Our staff working at our school Hub this  morning were  taking part in the Joe Wicks workout too! Lovely to see a home assembly today and some star awards given out! Keep up the good work next week everyone. Thank you for sharing your stories, we have loved seeing them!

Day 4 of Home Learning! Great to see everyone working hard! Thank you again for taking the time to send in these photographs.

Thank you again for taking the time to send in these wonderful photos of our pupils ‘working from home’! We are all loving seeing how everyone is getting on!

Parents who are Key workers should receive an email today from the authority indicating which of the HUB schools your child has been allocated a place in. Please remember to email and let the HUB know of you intend to take up this space so they can ensure the correct ratios of staff to pupils is in place. You will need to take a proof of employment (e.g. staff badge) with you to show you are deemed a key worker when you drop off your child. Please refer to the  flow chart below which indicates if you qualify for a space in the HUB schools. We would be grateful if you could also email us and let us know which HUB your child will be.

Thanks to everyone for sending in these fab photos of everyone busy with home learning activities! We have loved seeing them. Great to see people getting out into the garden and using this space for learning.  Remember to get in touch if you are having any issues understanding what needs to be done with any of the work we are sending home. Keep the photos coming!

P7, with lots of help from all of the children in our amazing school, have managed to raise a fantastic £630.97 for Sports Relief. A huge thank you to everyone who baked and donated money on the day – a great amount of money for a brilliant charity.
