We are feeling very spring like at school this week as we got our beautiful Spring banners up in the main hall. Pop into the main hall next time you are in school to have a look!

As part of our ongoing commitment to support our Care Experienced and Social Work Supported pupils at Currie Primary School, a group of our pupils have recently been getting arty! Pupils worked with local artist Robert Gillan to create portraits and self portraits using different mediums. They drew, printed and painted pictures of themselves, each other and their pets and favourite animals. We are hoping to share the work in a gallery at school and showcase the artwork to parents, carers and our community. You can see some of the results below. Robert was kind enough to invite us into his studio in the grounds of his wonderful home in Suntrap garden. The pupils loved meeting his animals and exploring the garden. We are very lucky to have made these local connections, which allow our pupils to have some wonderful experiences.  

Our P7 classes have visited and toured the Scottish Parliament over the last couple of seeks as part of their topic on Democracy.

Our French phrase of the week is

It was very busy at our PTA Bake Sale after school today! Thank you to the PTA for organising and to everyone for supporting by providing cakes or coming along and buying some delicious treats!

We love seeing what everyone is up to outside of school! Please remember to keep sending photos and information into school so we can celebrate with our pupils!

We are enjoying trying a variety of vegetables cooked in different ways just now in our dinner hall as we take part in the city wide initiative ‘Eat them to Defeat Them’, encouraging everyone to try veggies cooked in different ways. This week is carrot week and today the carrot cake proved very popular! Big thank you to our Dinner Ladies for going the extra mile to encourage everyone to take part. It was great to see the ‘Currie kitchen Crew Veggie Venture’ stall so busy today!

Mrs McAndrew and Ms Zhou led our assembly this week, celebrating Chinese New Year with 2024 being the year of the dragon. We enjoyed dragon dances from both our Nursery and P1B!

P6C enjoyed a trip to the Oriam this week to take part in the official opening of the new tennis centre. The class enjoyed taking part in both some training exercises and being part in the official press call!

Our French phrase of the week is
