With still 3 weeks to go until the summer the holidays I noticed this weekend that the shops are, of course, advertising back to school uniforms!

We are really proud of our uniform and really appreciate parents and carers thoughts and efforts to support our school by encouraging your children to wear it. If possible we would love the children to wear our school tie with a white shirt or blouse or to wear polo shirts (navy, purple or white) and sweatshirts (P1- P6 navy and P7 purple) with our school badge on them. However, we fully understand that you might be able to get polo shirts and sweatshirts a little cheaper in many of the high street shops – if you are buying new school uniform  from the high street shops please remember our school colours are navy and purple.

Our ‘expression de la semaine’  is

‘ça va?’

which means, ‘How are you?’  As always it would be great if you could encourage the children to use this expression plus our previous expressions of the week at home as well as in school – merci beaucoup!

Our lunch ladies have set us all the challenge of eating the rainbow this week in school – the challenge is to eat a different colour of fruit every day! It all look delicious

Mrs Elliot, our PE teacher, was at the EPSA Interscholastics event at Meadowbank on Monday with our P6 and P7 most successful  athletics team ever! The pupils were great and every one represented Currie Primary  School  fabulously on and off the track and field. Currie Primary School came 8th overall out of 39 schools, which is a fantastic result. The boys team came third overall and we got into all the running semi-finals and last 10 in all field events.
A very special congratulation to Maddie who got into the final of the 80m (P6 and under) and came 5^th, and to Mackenzie, Joseph, Matthew and Daniel our P6 boys relay team coming 4th after a photo finish – yes the judges had to look at a photo finish to decide 3^rd and 4^th place! Our P7 boys ran a fantastic race in the relay, winning easily and missed out on the record by just 0.08 of a second – well done Theo, Leni, Sam and Andrew! Finally, a huge congratulation to Theo who won the long jump, smashing the long jump record by 17cm, jumping a massive 4.80 m!

Thank you to Mrs Elliot for getting our team ready for this event and for losing her voice shouting everyone on, on the day!
