World Book Day was a wonderful success this year, filling our school with creativity, colour, and a shared love of reading. Children across all year groups enjoyed celebrating their favourite stories in a fun and imaginative way.
To mark the occasion, pupils and staff were invited to dress up as their favourite book character or decorate a wooden spoon to represent a character they love. From classic storybook heroes to modern favourites, our classrooms were filled with an incredible variety of characters brought to life through thoughtful costumes and beautifully designed spoons.
World Book Day reminded us all of the JOY that reading can bring.
A huge well done to all of our pupils for taking part and helping to make the day so memorable.
Today saw the start of Forest School for our Primary 4 pupils. We went outside to our Forest School 'classroom' and the children, in groups, created a picture of a polar animal. The children loved working with their hands and the freedom that the outdoors gave us.

As part of their Materials topic, Mr Allen’s Primary 6 class designed and built robots using recyclable materials. Pupils carefully planned their ideas, drew detailed diagrams and measured each material before constructing their robots.
Their finished robots were imaginative, colourful and full of creative design features. Well done, Primary 6, for your fantastic work and thoughtful use of recycled materials!

Our school was delighted to welcome children’s author, Steven Park, as part of our World Book Day celebrations and be introduced to his brand‑new book, Sasi’s Place in Space. Pupils from Nursery to Primary 7 gathered excitedly to meet the author, a familiar face to some in the school community, and learn more about the imaginative world behind his latest story.
The children were captivated as he read aloud, sparking lots of curiosity about space, storytelling, and how ideas become books.
He then spoke about the process of writing and publishing, explaining where his inspiration came from and how a story grows from a single idea into a finished book. Pupils were fascinated to hear about drafting, editing, working with illustrators (our very own Mrs Park), and the journey a book takes before reaching the shelves.
Primary 3 and Primary 4 classes also enjoyed a creative writing workshop. The children produced fantastic pieces of writing and loved the chance to learn from a real author.
We are very grateful to Steven Park for spending the day with us. His enthusiasm, storytelling talent and encouragement have truly inspired our young writers. We look forward to seeing the creativity he has sparked continue to grow in the weeks ahead!
Primary 2 have enjoyed learning about our new topic, Spring. They have learned about the life-cycle of a frog, baby animals and all about flowers. Here are a selection of photos from Structured play in the classroom, the resource area and outdoors.
