Welcome back

Welcome back, we hope you had a lovely long weekend.

Last week proved to be a very exciting week in St James's.  On Thursday the boys and girls had a surprise visit from Clyde, the Commonwealth Games Mascot.  It's fair to say there was much excitement in the school as Fraser from Game On Scotland showed the following video clip:


The pupils enjoyed learning all about Captain Bristle and his journey around the world planting thistles.

When the video finished Fraser introduced our very special surprise visitor....



Our exciting afternoon finished with Clyde presenting St James's with a special Commonwealth Games Plaque.  This plaque is to reward all the good work taking place in the school and it can be viewed at the front entrance to the school.
