Taking Over the Blog

Our teacher Miss Ballie has handed over the blog to us. We know that taking over the blog is a big responsibility which we are very excited about and we have lots of amazing ideas. We will do a great job at finding information and telling you about what's happening in school. We are hoping to develop a partnership with a school in Port Elizabeth, South Africa and this will be a good way for us to tell them all about who we are and what we do here at Rowantree and in Dundee.

The Big Move!

We are now settled into our wonderful new school! Albeit still finding our way around!

Thursday was a momentous and sentimental day. All pupils and staff gathered in the playground of the old school along with the Director of Education, the Convenor of Education and various councillors. Upon hearing the last 9am bell of the old building, the infants led the procession to our new building.

The procession made its way down Pitairlie Road flanked by council officials and parents alike and wound its way over Pitkerro Road and into Glenconnor drive where we were all piped in by Craig Polson (P5) who did a marvellous job in his full kilt outfit.

After various photo calls we all guided our classes to the new building amid great excitement and jubilation. All in all, a highly successful day.
