Hoping you’ve all had a lovely time over the Christmas holidays. We look forward to welcoming our pupils back to school tomorrow.

Dunoon Primary Talent Show Final was held this morning. Wow, what a lot of talented pupils we have. We had a junior and senior pupil from each of our five clans and it was a very difficult job for Santa and his team of helpers to choose their winners. Well done to all the contestants. The winner of the P1-4 category was Theo and the P5-7 category was Louie, who both sang beautifully.

Our pupils had a wonderful time this week visiting our local cinema for a Christmas treat. Santa even came along to see us! 🎅🏼 Thanks to Studio Cinema Dunoon.

Our ELC children will be holding their Toy Sale in the school lunch hall tomorrow 2pm-4pm. Children are invited to bring in some money and will have the opportunity to visit the sale between 2pm and 3pm. From 3pm-4pm our families are invited to pop in and have a look at the items for sale.

Remember this Friday is a non uniform day for our pupils. Rather than a monetary donation, we would invite every child to bring an item suitable for the tombola at our Christmas Fayre next week. Thank you.

The grand total raised for Children in Need on Friday was a whopping £388.62. Well done everyone.

Your child’s Christmas card design has been sent home this week. You can order a range of cards and Christmas gifts with your child’s design on it.
Use the login details (on the card) to order directly from: www.order.schoolprintworld.co.uk
Orders must be placed by midnight on 23.11.24 and all orders will be delivered to school.

Thanks to everyone for their kind donations for Children in Need today. The children looked fabulous in their yellow or spotty outfits. We will confirm the total raised on Monday. Our Pudsey Ambassadors Freya and Harry did a great job organising today. Well done everyone.
