Paired Reading Project Begins
We were very proud of our Primary 7 volunteers who began supporting younger pupils with their reading this week through our Paired Reading programme. The pupils undertook training with Mrs Moloney before beginning the six week project which involves the pairs meeting three times a week to share and enjoy reading together. This is an excellent example of pupils showing support and leadership for others, upholding all three of our values of Kindness, Responsibility and Perseverance. Very well done to everyone involved.

Massive congratulations to our Primary 6 class who came fifth overall in the Edinburgh Schools Sumdog Maths Contest this week. A very special mention to Keira in P6 who was 17th overall out of hundreds of participants across the city. Well done everyone!
Good Luck!
Goodbye and good luck to Mr Matthews who leaves us today to pursue a career in youthwork and sports coaching. Farewell also to Ms Sabella, who has been working in P1 recently and to Ms Little from our nursery. We wish them all well in their new posts.
