Well done to our senior quiz team who took part in the national final of the CUDA quiz on Saturday March 4th. At the end of a very tight and dramatic quiz they finished 5th, just 2 points behind the winners. The team worked very hard over the last number of weeks and should be very proud of their achievements.
It felt very spring like today when Cairdeas 3 planted some window boxes. Take a look at the video.

We were delighted to attend the crib unveiling and Christmas tree lighting in the village green on Friday 9th December. It was a very cold afternoon but the Christmas spirit was very much in evidence as the children sang Jingle Bells and Silent Night. As a sign of friendship to our Ukrainian pupils we sang a verse of Silent Night in Ukrainian.
