This morning we talked about our school values – resilience,safety, fun, tolerance, respect, nurturing and effort.
Next week we will be presenting our merit awards for children who have consistently demonstrated these values throughout September.
We also talked about how smart everyone looks wearing school uniform for school photos yesterday and it is great to see almost everyone in school uniform today.
Every child who wears school uniform every day that they are in school during September, and every month thereafter, will earn themselves and extra playtime next week.
We said well done to Leah, Chloe P, Daniel, Layton and Dylan P for taking part in Cross Country League Race 1.
Primary 4 were awarded certificates of participation for Fun Fours last Friday.
We wish P5 girls all the best in the Girls Only Fun Fours Festival this afternoon.
Well done everyone. We are very proud of you.

Parents and carers are invited to come along to your child’s class to meet their class teacher, find out about class routines, homework, class charter etc.
The school has a number of water bottles for sale.
Each bottle comes with 5 caps which allows you to replace the cap when needed and for cleaning.
The cost for a bottle and 5 extra caps is £2.00.
If you think you would be interested in buying a bottle and 5 caps please complete the form which was sent home this week and send to the school office with the correct amount of money.
House System Changes Following information gathered after a recent survey by House Captains, some changes have been implemented across the school.
All classes now have 4 coloured house cups, to allow house point buttons to be earned during class time when children display our school values.
This will also help all children to remember the names of each house and the house that they are part of!
This term the House Captains will be hosting a house meeting with all children from their houses involved.
Towards the end of the term, a fun challenge will be organised for classes whereby children can earn points for their house whilst working as part of their house team.
Primary 5 have been given the responsibility of handing out Christmas cards to all of the classes!
We have noticed that lots of people have been doing this themselves and would like to encourage pupils to use the Christmas Postbox in the school. You will find this outside the school office!
If you do plan to do this, please make sure yourself or your child writes the name and the class on their envelopes!
There are a number of exciting things happening across the school that we’d like to share with you!
In Primary 1, many parents have been visiting for our successful ‘Stay and Play’ sessions. These will continue into November. P1 parents can come Wednesdays from 9:00 – 9:45am.
Primary 2 have begun the ‘Read Write Inc.’ literacy programme, which is designed to create fluent readers, confident speakers and willing writers. The boys and girls are really enjoying their work! Primary 1, 3 and 4 will begin towards the end of November.
Primary 4 and Primary 7 enjoyed a trip to Perth for a Scots reading of Fantastic Mr Fox. Children watched the film and reviewed using Scots language.
Primary 5 have a new class member – Junior the snail! The children have been learning how to care for him and have been excitedly sharing this with children across the school.
Primary 6 (along with those in Craigbank and Fishcross) are currently participating in the Youth Music Initiative Clackmannanshire Brass Project. All children have been given an instrument to take home. The children are learning how to play them in school and will demonstrate their skills along with the other schools in a performance later in the school year.
Primary 7 children will be involved in the ‘Max in the Middle’ project next week. Across the week, the class will focus on various scenarios regarding healthy living: preparing and tasting food; being physically active; reflecting on their experiences, and transforming their learning into a drama and dance-based performance for parents and carers on Friday 4th November.
This years sponsored event is The McTOUGH kids Obstacle Course and will take place on Wednesday 9th November 2016.
The course consists of a climbing wall, cargo net, ninja rings and tunnels. The company providing the equipment are fully trained and insured.
All pupils will need a change of clothes/shoes and a towel as there is the high possibility your child will get muddy/wet. We cannot predict the Scottish weather and the event will go ahead hail, rain or shine.
