Evening Express Concert
Congratulations to Mrs Sim, Miss Burns and all the children from our P5/4 class for completing their wonderful evening performance at the Music Hall (Wednesday 2nd December).
A big thank you to all parents (and especially to the supporting parents at the rehearsal/on the night) for supporting the school at such short notice in order to provide this fantastic opportunity for the children.
Xmas Panto
We all had a brilliant time yesterday at Oldmachar Church when the Inspire Theatre Company visited Oldmachar Church to entertain us with their version of Sleeping Beauty.
Our thanks goes out to Oldmachar Church for providing a superb venue, the theatre company (who were brilliant!), to our PTA for funding the event/providing treats for the children and to all parents who assisted in the supervision of walking to/from the church.
