It was quite hard to choose the Star of the Week this week as so many of you are working so hard at home but Mr Theo Curran was the lucky boy this week as I have been so impressed with his reading and for being a great role model on the School Council. Well done Theo ⭐
Primary Four are so lucky to have the WONDERFUL Mrs Taggart in their classroom! Mrs Taggart has done an AMAZING job in working behind the scenes with Mr Burns and our Eco Council in securing us a FABULOUS new Eco Garden.

Good morning Primary Four
I cannot believe this is the last Monday message of this school year...and what a year it has been!! I am so lucky that you have been my first class in St Nicholas' Primary School and although it came to a sudden end in March, you will always hold a special place in my heart. You have all worked so well during these challenging times and I really enjoyed receiving your work and photos from home- feel free to keep sending me some summer photos on Seesaw!
To the parents... You have been so supportive and completed the difficult task of home schooling for the past 14 weeks. A big thank you!!
I think this little poem I wrote sums up our year together in Primary Four.
Have a brilliant summer, stay safe, keep smiling and I will see you all in August.
Miss S 
Hi Primary Four
I hope you are all keeping safe! Our Seesaw App is up and running and most of you have connected- thank you. It is a great way to keep in touch!! The children can post their work or any fun activities they are doing at home. I have received some great work and beach photos already!! I will update the class page with a weekly focus and will also post it on the app. If you need help with anything don't be afraid to ask- we're all in this together 🙌

Monday 22nd June
Hello Primary Four. I hope you all enjoyed the weekend even if it was a bit wet! This week I have two challenges for you. Firstly I would like you to have a look at our Summer Reading Poster and follow the link to sign up. I would really encourage you all to take part in this as reading during the Summer months is very important!! There are lots of books for you to choose- you will all find something you enjoy!!
https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk
The second challenge for this week is something very special. I am sure you are all missing your grandparents during lockdown. Maybe you get to visit them outside to say hello. Unfortunately the residents in Ardview Nursing Home cannot see their family and friends as no one is allowed to visit. I would like you to write a letter to a resident in Ardview. If you know someone in the Nursing Home you can address it to them, if not, just write Dear Friend. I have included some examples of letters below that some boys and girls your age have written. There will be a box in Ardview where you can post your letter. You can also send your letters for me to read on Seesaw and email.
Have fun

Hello Primary Four. Hope you had another super week and weekend. Great photos of some of you this week- keep up the brilliant work This week I would like you to focus on the following;
