Good Morning everyone! I hope you had some fun in the sun over the Easter break. I’m sure you also enjoyed nibbling on your Easter eggs! There are no eggs left in the Kerr house.  

Mrs Lowry, Mrs Gillespie and I are missing you all so much. We will have so much to chat about when we meet up again.  Has the Tooth Fairy visited anyone lately? Has anyone learnt  how to tie their shoelaces, ride their bike without stabilisers or picked up a new hobby? Blossom the Tooth Fairy has visited our house twice in 3 weeks!!  You can send Mrs Lowry and I a little email to tell us how you are getting on.

This week we are starting our homework packs.

Reading book packs are now available in school to pick up. They are sitting in the porch area at the front door. Please keep the books at home in safe place and in the order they are packed as they are ordered in  level of difficulty.

  • P1 15 books in their pack (3 books per week for 5 weeks) MON/TUES/WED
