Our beautiful ‘Winter Banners’ are now up in our main hall. Each class made a banner and as always they are beautiful! Your child / children will be able to tell you which one their class made. Pop into the hall next time you are in school and take a quick look.

Book Week Scotland was lots of fun in school this week with lots of book related activities happening including inter-year group work which was lovely to see. Thank you to everyone for sending in the ‘reading in strange places’ photos. We have loved seeing them. These are just a few. Great to see Preet taking part while she is away! Pop into school and see the rest on the screen in our entrance!

All P5, 6 and 7 classes attended workshops with Stacey from Love My Bus on Tuesday 18 November 2025. They learned about the benefits of travelling by bus, how public transport connects people and places, protecting the planet, keeping us healthy, using their free bus passes to the maximum and bus safety and respect (which included antisocial behaviour, personal safety and vandalism). The children asked great questions and were engaged with the activities in the workshops. We got lots of nice publicity for hosting this event too – thank you Mrs Strange for organising this for us.

We have received all of these fabulous STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) resources from our wonderful PTA over the last few weeks! We asked the PTA to focus their fundraising from last session on extending the STEM resources we have in school and they have been put to good use already! Thank you to everyone for supporting the work of our PTA over the session through Fun Runs, Bake Sales, Discos, Magic Show and of course the May Fayre!

The iPad headphones, Kapla blocks, Construction Tubes and Connectors and Geomgs are proving very popular. The PTA are also funding an additional 10 new iPads which we will get out into classrooms as quickly as we can when they come in.

We marked anti-bullying week in school by wearing odd socks on Monday  to celebrate what makes people unique and different. Classes were all involved in writing about and discussing bullying and in using our super powers to speak out. We finished up looking at our super powers in assembly and listening to a poem that P7 performed.

We had a fun Children In need day at Currie Primary School, wearing our Pjs. P4 took on the Children In need learn 25 steps in 5 days dance challenge and did a great job of putting it altogether on Friday.

The nursery have been so lucky to have our polytunnel finished this week ! 🎉 Quinn’s dad has been working so hard over the last few weeks building it , with the help of Robin’s dad too. We can’t wait to get growing next year!

The children in our Nursery have been among poppies over the last week, making and selling poppy seed packs. So far they have raised £110 which they are donating to the Scottish Poppy Appeal. We are all incredibly proud of the work they have done. Here is what the children hade to say about their work;
