Sometimes the most beautiful lights appear from nowhere. This one appeared very briefly above the office tonight. I feel like it was sign to let us know that our angel has made it to her final destination. ❤️❤️
Good evening everyone. We are adjusting our sails right now to make things as safe as possible for your children returning to school and to respond to Scot Gov guidance. Thank you for your infinite patience and I will be in touch with you at the end of the week.
To our Nether Currie families, please don't be anxious tonight, we will share all plans for the New Year as soon as we are able to. My heart goes out to those of you who are having to make tough decisions about Christmas plans. We are all in this together. 😔❤🌈
EPSSA Cup champions! What a brilliant match.
@BroomhousePs
pushed us really hard and made us work for the win. Thanks for making it so exciting to watch guys!
Very proud of this lot, great work and sportsmanship. Think Mrs Milne was smiling down on NC tonight. 🌈🥅⚽️⚽️
So our 24 days of kindness begins tomorrow! Behind every door is an act of kindness for everyone to get involved in. You will be amazed at how good it feels to be kind. We will upload a daily video to help you get involved at home too. ♥️🎄🎁
What an amazing event today. I am so proud of every child (and staff member) who took part. Thank you to everyone who came along to marshal, cheer and sponsor us! Thank you to the fabulous S6 pupils from
@curriechs
for running and encouraging our children along the route. ♥️🥇🏃♀️
Yesterday we were able to commemorate the life and service of our beautiful Mrs Milne. Our House and Vice Captains read extracts from 'The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse' and related these to the wonderful, kind person Marion was. They were outstanding!
@charliemackesy
You've heard of Elf on the shelf? Well here is the Jannie on the Pianie! 🤣🤣 Thank you Mr Macfarlane for helping us get the stage set up for our Carols by Candlelight concerts this week. 🎄
We are deeply saddened to hear of Her Majesty's passing tonight. I'm glad we were able to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee together in June. Rest in peace.
These two fabulous girls came to show me a poster they had made. It is a French calendar and includes the weather for the day. When I asked what had inspired them, they told me "we just love learning French!" What better reason could there be? ♥️🇫🇷
Hi Everyone! I'm sorry I missed doing an update today, it has been super busy! Mrs Milne and I were out doing deliveries and have topped up the supplies at the Corslet Place Co-op. We also added our ribbons to the gates today too. Here is the quote that I wrote on my ribbon. ❤🌈
Brilliant to have our P1-3 children back today. Seeing them all has made me realise just how much I am missing the rest of our school community!

After lots of consultation, discussion, writing and re-writing, our Nether Currie vision and values are now in place for session 2020-2021. The "Who Do We Think We Are?" Pupil Voice Group were truly fabulous!
"Valuing ourselves, each other, our community and our learning."
Introducing the Class of '21! What a top team - remember the whole school will be looking up to you, so be the best version of yourself that you can P7! Great hoodies by the way!
I am thrilled to say that on Saturday we raised an incredible £607.94 at our Bag Pack at Tesco Hermiston Gait. Our football teams are well on their way to new kits. Thank you to everyone who came down to help, to everyone who donated and to Tesco for having us!
@HermistonTesco
We are so proud of these clever cookies today. They worked incredibly well as a team to take 12th place out of 32 schools taking part at the Maths Challenge at Merchiston Castle School.
Here is our Mr Fusco. Today was his last day as our wonderful jannie. Check out his T-shirt, he's been wearing it all week! We gave him the job of the doing the 100 Club draw too but he was disappointed that number 88 didn't come out this time! We'll miss you Mr F. Take care. ♥️
I can't believe the last day of term is upon us! Wishing all of our Nether Currie families and friends a wonderful festive holiday. May there be peace on Earth and joy to all. ♥️🎄🌟
Congratulations to Lucy in P1 for completing the first Park Run at the Oriam. Lucy ran the full 5K course in 42 minutes and 59 seconds! Wow, Lucy! We are super proud of you. Next time you should make Mrs Johnston try it too!!
Congratulations to our Primary 5 to 7 pupils for their fantastic entry into the Balerno Christmas Tree Festival. Delighted to share we won the Public Vote! Well done to one and all 🎄👏🌟
Look at our fantastic Oor Wullie! He is off for his Big Bucket adventure so look out for him across the summer holidays. Huge congratulations to Sophia, our winning designer, who wanted Wullie to have a love heart for everyone at NCPS.
@OWBIGBucket
Today we said farewell to this wonderful lady. Our own Mrs Cooper is retiring, (very, very early!) Our corridors will not be the same without her enormous laugh and roars of 'woo hoo!' when someone has achieved one their sporting goals. Happy retirement Mrs C. Xx🏃♀️♥️🌈
As the sun sets on another amazing holiday, we are looking forward to the term ahead. A busy day of meetings and training for our staff today. Look out for communication tomorrow about the children's return on Wednesday! 😊
Well done to our Hot Chocolate with the HT achievers this week. It was lovely to see some of your surprised faces! I loved all of the nominations this week - proud of you all. 🤩☕
Who says we can't do Hot Choc with the HT? Take away version coming up! Keep going 'over and above' young Nether Curriers, it is even more important now than ever before.

Wishing all of our children and their families, our community friends and our neighbours, a very happy Christmas. Here's hoping the season brings you hope, joy, love and peace. See you all in the New Year. 💕🥂
Thank you to everyone who came along to our Summer Fair on Saturday. The weather gods were kind to us and you were incredibly generous. We raised a whopping £4360 for the school! We are overwhelmed. Thanks also to the amazing team of organisers and volunteers. You are wonderful!
Fun in the Pentlands today with P7. It was a sweaty walk but great fun. Thanks for letting me come along today! Thanks Mrs Cooper and Mr Main for your organisation. 🏃♀️🏃🏃♂️
Finally, we introduced our new values prize...The Marion Milne Kindness Award. This will be presented to a child at the end of the school year who has demonstrated outstanding kindness. It was a beautiful afternoon, with a great turnout. We love you Mrs Milne. ❤️🌈
What a fantastic sight to see our children playing with their new toys! Lots of collaboration and great sportsmanship going on. Here are a few pictures from playtime. Thank you to our wonderful PTA for making this happen. 🥰
What a great first day back for everyone at Nether Currie! Look at our super smart P7 pupils sporting their new Class of 23 hoodies.
We were thinking of the new S1s today and hoping their day was as good as ours.
Last tweet from me as your HT. What an incredible journey it has been! So proud of all we have achieved and excited about the next steps you are going to take. Thank you for the fabulous memories 😍 Looking forward to hearing what happens next!
@NethercurriePS
you are fabulous! x
Our P7 class have got so much to be proud of! They have embraced every second of camp, overcoming fears and challenging themselves to push that little bit harder. I can't thank the team of staff enough for giving up their own families to become family to your children this week.
Things that made me happy today...children being recognised for Hot Chocolate with the HT for going that extra mile and this beautiful piece of inspiration given to me by a child. You know who you are and thank you! ♥️♥️
Happy Christmas from the Johnston family to all our Nether Currie families and friends. May your houses be a riot of wrapping paper, turkey, love and laughter! 🎄🌟
This afternoon, we took a walk around Harlaw, splitting into trios to discuss our approach to dealing with a range of complex scenarios. The discussion was rich and valuable and blew the cobwebs away after a busy morning.

Scoot-a-thon fun today! There will be lots of aching legs tomorrow! Hopefully we can raise lots of money for our friends at Dementia Friendly Pentlands. Thanks to our wonderful team of helpers.
Look out for our beautiful new signage! Our three school values are now on display for everyone in our community to see. We hope when you walk in to our school, you can feel and see these values in the heart of everything we do. ♥️🌈
Happy weekend everyone! I hope everyone can rest and relax this weekend after an extremely first week back. So proud of how you have all got stuck in! 😊♥️🌈
What a final day it was yesterday. Goodbye Class of 2023. We will miss you. Go and do brilliant things and always remember to keep your NCPS values close to your ♥️.
The Nether Currie staff team began their 'Book Group' session last night. The discussion was fantastic, the commitment from everyone palpable and resulting actions this morning incredible. I am excited!

Fantastic learning in Primary One. Writing and learning their sounds 'a' and 't' already! Great first week so Head Teacher's awards all round!

Thank you so much to everyone who came along to support our Highland Games fundraiser. There was a lovely buzz around the school and as I stood back to watch, I was reminded again of what an amazing community we are. Thank you to the PTA for their organisation.
#awesome
Here is someone else who was awarded Hot Chocolate with the HT today. Mr Fusco was up early clearing paths to make it safe for everyone coming in this morning...and all with a smile too! 👍😊
Just a few of our acts from yesterday's Nether Currie's Got Talent Grand Final. Courage, confidence and creativity were all on display. Well done to everyone who put themselves forward and a huge thank you to our P7 captains and vice captains for judging!
We were then able to unveil a stunning memorial piece of glass made by
@harmoniesinwood
, especially commissioned to represent all the things Marion loved...The Girls Brigade, Pentland Gymnastics, Balerno Parish Curch and of course, Nether Currie.
First pictures of our P1 and P2 Halloween party...everyone had a spooktacular time! Thanks to our wonderful PTA committee and volunteers for organising...1 down, 2 to go! 🎃👻🎃
Huge congratulations to everyone for our fabulous online Nativity and Christmas Show. If you have not already seen it, please do login to the Online Learning Portal. It even has its own 'Nativity' button for easy access. Get your tissues at the ready!
Today we marked the Queen's Platinum Jubilee by "Planting a Tree for the Jubilee" under the
@QGCanopy
initiative. Our children were wonderfully respectful for this historic occasion. Thanks to Emma Thompson for the tree and the Pentlands Mens Shed for the beautiful plaque. 👑
Well, it looks like Nether Currie did rather well at the Horticultural Show on Saturday! I can't wait to present these rosettes to the lucky entrants. Thank you for all your hard work. 💐🌻🌼🌷🪻🥀
Lots of fun at playtime today too! Just in case you are wondering, we did have a couple of boys in today, but it seems the end of the alphabet is filled with girls!
Day 2 and I have not uploaded a video...I didn't manage to get my make up on and my hair is standing on end...I wonder how you are all doing today? ♥️🌈
26 years since the awful scenes from Dunblane Primary School. My heart fills with sadness every time I see the photos from that day. Thinking today of all who lived through that horror. Xx
Arguably the best part of my week! I loved spending time with these fantastic youngsters today. There was a significant amount of giggling!!
