🎄Christmas is a busy and expensive time of year.
Our teachers at Orchard Primary would like you to relax and enjoy the festive cheer.
They are not expecting presents,fancy gifts or tasty treats.
Instead they would be delighted with some Christmas message tweets.🎄
Thank you so much to Overtown Parish Church

A last visit from this very special lady before her maternity leave starts. Everyone at Orchard will be anxiously awaiting news of baby Hume's arrival in the coming weeks.
We are looking forward to welcoming the children back to school this week 😀. It’s back to school for pupils on Wednesday. It’s a 10 am start for our new P1 children in mainstream. LCSC P1 pupils start at 8.50am.
A huge thanks to our LCSC Parent Support Group who identified we needed more outdoor class spaces across the school. They funded this stunning awning in our courtyard

A huge thanks to all parents, families, staff and transport who ensured the safe collection of all children today to support the early closure of our school. Have a lovely weekend ❄️👍🏻
What a special day for this young man. Arnold Clark in Motherwell made him feel valued by giving him a tour of their showroom. We can’t thank you enough.

Mrs Woodward has read quotes this great man has said all day. So many represent Orchard, learning and life. However this one is what we always try teach and develop in our young people.
