Dear Parents/Carers
Assembly
We looked at the school throughout the ages. In addition, more of our talented musicians entertained us on the stage. There were many certificates and special mentions given.
Achievements
- P2C and P5A’s artwork are featured in the woof! children’s exhibition by Catherine Rayner and for Morningside gallery. The catalogue featuring the dog drawings, can be viewed digitally below or in the gallery from the Sunday 1st June.
Please contact us if you would like any further details – art@morningsidegallery.co.uk https://online.flippingbook.com/view/279733087/Congratulations to the children (and Brunzee!) who competed against Dalmeny Primary in a Spelling Bee this week. Well done everyone!
- We had an extremely skillful but unlucky girls football team this week who were knocked out of the EPSSA Cup by Liberton at Meggetland in a tense semi final! It was 1-1 after full time so 5 mins extra time and it was still tied. Then it went to golden goal. We had about 12 attempts that wouldn’t go in and unfortunately Liberton scored against the run of play. It was a brilliant Bruntsfield performance, and we were very unlucky at the end.
