Goodbye to Primary 7
Today the school says goodbye to all the wonderful Primary Seven young people who leave Primary School for the last time. We all wish them well for the future and thank them for their contribution to Leith Primary.
We also say goodbye to 3 members of staff.
Mr Cameron is leaving at the end of his probationary year.
Ms Watson is leaving at the end of her temporary contract.
Mrs Tait is leaving to begin work at another school.
I should like to thank all the above staff for their contribution to Leith Primary. Each of them has played a critical part in the life of the school and I should like to wish them very well for their next teaching posts.
I am delighted to inform parents that Ms Hay was successful at interview last week and has been nominated for a permanent teaching job at Leith Primary.
This has been another very successful year at Leith Primary School with many outstanding achievements and events. I want to thank parents and carers for supporting the excellent work of all school staff to provide quality learning opportunities for all children. I think the many ways that parents and the school have worked in partnership together has been really impressive this session. The work of Friends of Leith Primary has been able to significantly enhance the school through events and fundraising.
I wish all parents, carers and children a very happy, healthy and safe summer holiday. Children return on Wednesday 19th August at 8.50am. I am delighted that on this day we will welcome TWO Primary One classes for the first time in many years.
Mr Friend Headteacher
Leith Primary is an amazing and historic building right on the edge of Leith Links. Although the building hosts a number of different users the school has very spacious and flexible accommodation. There are music rooms, a museum, a library and a newly planned art and practical room.
In May the Hip Hop classes at Leith Primary took off, with a big group of eager dancers. Over the weeks, the kids learned how to warm up and stretch their muscles, played games together and worked on Musical Theatre, Street Dance and Hip Hop routines. Also, they learned how to count music, and made up their own ‘musical statues' and dance moves. After 7 weeks of hard work, the dancers had an amazing performance last Friday the 26th of June. The auditorium of Broughton High School was filled with an enthusiastic audience consisting of parents, siblings and friends, as they put on a great dance show. I would like to thank all the kids for their hard work, also the ones who unfortunately couldn't join us at the performance. You were great! Roelie (Dance Division Teacher).
Many thanks to all the parents, staff and all the children who came to the end of year disco last night. A wonderful, if hot, time was had by all.
Last week 22 of the Primary 6 children and staff had an amazing experience at the Benmore Centre.
