We enjoyed a ‘chaotic’ start to the new school year with a visit from Tweedy as he took a break from performing his show, ‘Tweedy’s Massive Solo Show’ at the Edinburgh Fringe. It was fabulous to bring a taste of the Fringe out to Currie Primary for everyone to enjoy together.

We are all so proud of Mrs Corfield who completed a 10K run today raising £1820 for the LoveOliver charity. LoveOliver is a small charity based in Scotland that helps to fund research into childhood cancer and to provide practical support to families affected by it. LoveOliver have been working closely with one of our families and Mrs Corfield wanted to do something to support the amazing work they do. If you would like to donate to Mrs Corfield fundraising just click on the link below.

We had a fantastic evening in school on Thursday celebrating the end of P7 and Currie Primary School for our P7s. Everyone looked fabulous and enjoyed dancing the night away!

Our football team went to play in a European Junior Cup in Seville, Spain. First we played 7 groups games against  teams from Manchester, Gibraltar, Penrith EMC Academy, Adamsoms Academy  from England, as well as Cliftonville from Northern Ireland and Elite Union from Dubai and Pro Soccer Academy from Spain. 

In the semis we lost on penalties to Elite Union. Then we played Cliftonville in the fight for 3^rd place and came out victorious after a 3-1 win!

It was a great experience to play on the Seville pitch.

Huge congratulations to our CPS staff team running in the team event of the Edinburgh Marathon today. We had 2 teams taking part, raising over £1400 for MacMillan Cancer Support, a huge amount of money. Well done everyone, we are all so proud of you.

Sports Day was lots of fun on Thursday, with everyone giving each of the activities 100% effort. As always the relays were a vert exciting finish! A huge thank you to our Sports Day staff team, Mr Donaldson, Miss Nicholson, Mrs Holt and Mrs S. Yule for pulling everything together and get us all organised and ready. We hope you all enjoyed coming along to support us. The end results were incredibly close with the Golden Eagles and Otters tying for second place and the Pine Marins winning by just 1 point! it made for a very tense results announcement on Friday morning just before break, with everyone enjoying an ice-pole provided by the PTA to celebrate afterwards!

P6 put on an incredible performance of Dragons of the Western Sea with Scottish Opera for their parents and families on Wednesday. We are so incredibly proud of everyone in P6. Scottish Opera were just amazed by the levels of commitment, enjoyment and performance of everyone in P6 who took part.

Thank you to everyone for coming along to support our May Fayre on Saturday, especially as the weather was a little cool and dull. It was lovely to see so many people in school. A huge thank you to Jen and Susie, our PTA chairs and everyone on the PTA for all of the planning and organising and to all of our volunteers, parents and staff, who came along to help set up or run a stall on the day. The May Fayre is the PTA’s main fundraiser each year. The final total raised is not yet in but we will let you know when we have it and what the PTA decide to spend the money on.
