Meldrum Messages - Friday 18th September 2026

We’ve had a good week here at Meldrum PS with lots going on as always!  I know that we have amazing children here at Meldrum but this has also been commented on by visitors to our school over the last couple of weeks, with the NHS team who administered the flu vaccines praising the manners of the children, and also the photographer from Tempest who was here this week.  She commented on the respect shown by all of the children when they were having their photos taken.  Well done everyone!

Next week is Maths Week Scotland and the theme for this year is “Maths Matters.”  This celebrates the role that mathematics has in everyday life, learning and careers.  Education Scotland have shared some ideas of things that can be done in communities (including in families) which you will find by clicking on the link:   Maths for communities | Resources | Education Scotland

Fairtrade Fortnight also begins next week and European Languages Day is celebrated.  This falls on a weekend date but staff may plan some activities to do on Friday for this event.

A reminder that the school is closed on Monday for September break.  Staff and pupils return on Tuesday morning.  I hope that everyone enjoys the rest that the extra day brings and we look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday.

Next week – Maths Week Scotland and start of Fairtrade Fortnight

Monday – school closed

Tuesday – all resume.

Wednesday – Netball after school club begins

Thursday – P1 Seesaw session for parents 2.30pm
