TINTO TIMES
May 2010
This is an extremely busy term for us all with exciting events planned. P5-7 have been
studying the swinging 60’s, working collaboratively to display their knowledge to the
school community. They have written and produced a fabulous concert and will present
to us all on Wednesday 26th May at 7pm. Tickets will be on sale soon! We hope that you
can come along and enjoy singing some great songs from the past.
Congratulations
Kirsty Gouck has won a Gold Award from the University of Glasgow. Kirsty entered the
Mathematical Challenge competition 2010 and reached the finals. Five hundred pupils took part in
the competition. We are all very proud of Kirsty!
