Dear Parents/ Carers,
Primary 7 had a very busy and productive first term, with highlights including our annual Mini Marathon
which Primary 7 helped to organise and our nighttime trip to the Dark Skies Observatory which was
amazing and highly memorable, if a little cloudy.
During term 2, as part of their work as the Enterprise Committee, Primary 7 will be involved in organising
our St Andrew’s Day Celebrations, helping with preparations for our ‘Christmas Café’ and coordinating our
fundraising efforts for Children in Need. I’m sure they will continue to do us proud!
