Big Dance!
On Friday the whole school and nursery took part in an attempt to break the Guinness world record for ‘The Largest Simultaneous Dance Routine’. Many schools and organisations around the world joined in….check back later this term to find out if the record was broken.Unfortunately the video was too big to post here but If you’d like to see it, click here. (Glow login required.) Thank you to Mrs Cruickshank and the P6 and P7 girls for helping us all to learn the dance.

Eco Week
This week children have been busy taking part in environmentally friendly activities as part of Eco Week. Primary 1/2 have been making their own recycled paper. It looked like lots of fun. (And very messy!) Primary 5/6/17 and 6/18 are having a Swap Shop on the last day of term, bringing in toys, books and games to exchange with one another. Primary 5 have been spreading the Eco message by helping every child in the school plant a seed. They wanted to show how easy it is to grow your own plants, and how it can cost very little to get started. They have worked hard to limit the amount of litter in the school grounds this term, and presented a short play to the rest of the school to encourage everyone to use the bins. Their super-hero, Captain Litter, will be out in the playground to keep an eye on things! Here are a few photos from our very busy week.
Primary 4/7 Panto
Miss Bulloch’s class took part in a fantastic performance of Sleeping Beauty this week. The children, staff and parents involved all worked really hard. Well done to all!
The Twits in Primary 5/5
Primary 5/5 have been reading The Twits by Roald Dahl. As part of their work for World Book Day, they have written some new chapters for the book. But they need your help! Please vote for your favourite new ‘trick’ over on their class blog here. And if you love Roald Dahl books as much as they do you might like this website. ( By the way, there are NO twits in Primary 5/5, despite the title of this post!)
Primary 5 and Primary 4 Burns celebrations
On Wednesday the partitions between the classrooms came down and P5 and P4 enjoyed an afternoon of poetry, song and dance to celebrate the birth of Robbie Burns.The haggis was piped in and addressed by children from P5/5. P4/6 recited the Selkirk grace and then it was time for juice and shortbread before the competition began. Each class had worked really hard to learn their poems, and all of the finalists did a fantastic job. The afternoon ended with a performance of Highland dancing, followed by Auld Lang Syne.
Primary 5 Christmas Fair
On Monday, parents, staff and children attended the Reduce-Reuse- Recycle Christmas fair.Check out the P5/5 class blog for lots more photos. Primary 5 made over £350 at the event. Thank you to all who helped to make it a great success.
Dick Whittington at Markethill
Today the whole school watched a fantastic production of Dick Whittington. The actors did an amazing job, I lost count of the number of scenery and costume changes they had to do! Both staff and pupils had a great time and we all hope that Dick is feeling better after his little mishap!
