Our lunch time team went to a huge effort with our Summer Themed lunch last week which looked lovely and tasted delicious!

Congratulations to our P6 football team who were paying in the Wardie Cup Football Festival at the weekend, winning 4 games! The team played brilliantly with good respect. Well done boys! We are very proud of you all.

Currie Primary hockey team were in League 2 at the tournament. They won their first match 3-0 against St Peter’s Primary 2’s and then managed another win after a long battle against Juniper Green 1’s with Currie winning 2-1.

As Currie won their group they then played the winners of League 1 who were Juniper Green 2’s. A quick goal from Sam was sadly disallowed but Currie quickly scored again to the delight of the parents and grandparents who were watching nervously. Juniper Green then equalised and unfortunately managed to get another goal past us just before the whistle went, 2-1 to Juniper Green so we came second place overall.

Congratulations to our staff teams who took part in the Hairy Haggis Relay as part of the Edinburgh marathon today. Our teams ran really well and raised lots of money for our two Charities of Alzheimer Scotland and British Heart Foundation. Thank you to everyone in our school community for your messages of support and generous donations – we have raised around £2600 for the two charities so we are absolutely delighted.

We know a number of our pupils and parents were also taking part in the half or full marathon and the children’s race over the weekend and we hope you all enjoyed these events too. We look forward to swapping stories and seeing everyone’s medals!

Thank you to everyone on the PTA for organising another fantastic May Fayre for us all this year and to everyone who came along to support this major fund raising event for our school on Saturday. The weather did not stop the fun and everyone seemed to be having a good time! There were lots of new and fun activities for everyone to try this year including A Laser Arena, Segway’s and Silent Disco and Scavenger Hunt as well as some of the old favourites – tombola, lucky dip, face painting, books and toys, home baking, raffle, coconut shy and so on. It was lovely to see ourP4/5 choir perform on the stage too.  The money is still to be counted and we will let you know as soon as we can how much money was raised on the day.

We enjoyed Sports Day last week, despite the rather chilly and grey weather!  It was great to see everyone taking part and giving each race and activity their best shot. As always it was lovely to have so many parents, carers and wider family members come along to cheer everyone on. Sports Day was a closely fought competition this year with only 12 points separating the first and third placed house – congratulations to the Pine Martin House who won our Sports day Shield this session.

Thankfully it wasn’t too cold for a picnic lunch afterwards followed by an ice-pole provided by our PTA! A big thank you to Mrs Moyes, Mrs Holt and Miss Mckay for organising Sports Day for us this year and to Currie Community High School for allowing us to use their sports grounds
