Thursday 5th March is World Book Day!

Your child should have already come home with a book token in their bag to celebrate World Book Day and we will be working on Reading for Pleasure tasks throughout the school day.

Why not spend some time Reading for Pleasure at home, too? #WorldBookDay #ReadingSchools

We are delighted to share that we will once again be welcoming The Scottish Opera to Lanark Primary School to work with our P5, P6 and P7 pupils on their upcoming performance of The Dragon of the Western Sea.

This is always a highlight every three years and provides a truly memorable opportunity for our learners to experience professional arts education, develop confidence and perform as part of a large ensemble.

Our sincere thanks go to the Parent Council for securing the funding to make this fantastic opportunity possible for our children.

There will be an opportunity for parents and carers to attend an afternoon performance (approximately 2.00pm – exact time to be confirmed). Due to staging requirements and the large number of pupils involved (over 100 children), audience capacity will be limited to one ticket per child.

Please note that, as audience seating will be primarily on the stage itself, there will unfortunately be no wheelchair or buggy access for this performance.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

We would like to highlight our plans to celebrate Reading Schools Week which will take place from 2nd February to 6th February, designed to promote a love of reading and highlight the importance of reading for enjoyment.

Our involvement forms part of our work towards renewing our Reading Schools Gold Award, recognising our continued commitment to high-quality reading experiences for all children.

Throughout the week, pupils will take part in a range of engaging and inclusive activities that encourage reading in different ways – in classrooms and across the school. These experiences are designed not only to celebrate reading, but also to help strengthen skills, confidence and positive reading habits for learners at every stage.

Reading Schools Week also supports our wider school improvement work by fostering enthusiasm, motivation and a shared reading culture across our community. We look forward to sharing some of the highlights with you and would like to thank families for their continued support in encouraging reading at home.

Many thanks to Mrs Mulvey, our Literacy Co-ordinator, and our Reading Pupil Leadership Team in Room 8 for leading this work!

The Junior Road Safety Officer team are going to be running a campaign to Park and Stride. 

The campaign will be running from  Monday the 26th of January to Friday the 13th of February.

We will take a vote in each class to see who currently Parks and Strides.

At the end of our campaign we will do another vote to see if the number of people park and striding has increased.

HAPPY WALKING!

From Arden, Kara and Ayla (P7 JRSO's)
