This week was a busy one for our Gardening Club who sold plants from the school garden and kindly donated by others. The total raised was £89 and funds will be used to support the Gardening Club in future improvements.
P5-7 were fortunate to have two of our regional MSPs to talk to this week. Mercedes Villalba (Labour Party) and Maggie Chapman (Green Party) met with the children, outlined their jobs and the priorities of their parties, as well as answering their thought-provoking questions. Next week we will have a visit from our Constituency MSP, Alexander Burnett (Conservative Party).
We also had our own elections this week with our P7s organising the voting station and ensuring that voting took place in a professional and fair way. Three votes was made by each pupil based on the individual candidate’s manifestos and these then became our preferred candidates for Class President. To help everyone decide which of these should be the final Class President, debates were held at the end of the week. These included all P5s and P6s and was an opportunity to put forward their policies and argue why other parties ideas may be less convincing or important. All children participated in the debates with our P7s taking it in turn to be the Honourable Speaker or media.
Our end of term Assembly took place on Wednesday and as well as giving the P7s a great send off (including lots of photos of much younger versions of themselves) we were also entertained by P1-6. This included ‘Sharing Memories’, a song that P5-7 had learnt to play on instruments, and created lyrics for, and a clever poem that included lots of chocolate! Last but not least all children sang a song from Matilda the musical called ‘When I grow up’!
