On Monday the 18th of March P5,6 and 7 performed their assembly on the their topic Titanic. They performed it in the style of a news report and spoke to eye witnesses at the building of the ship, on the voyage and at the disaster. P5 and 6 performed songs and P7 wrote and performed their own poems.
Meet our news readers Skye, Robbie, Alexa, Ali, Caitlin and James.
We are aware that the latest negative internet trend is now being discussed by pupils in the school and indeed some of our children have unfortunately experienced this. I understand this has caused a great deal of upset for both children and parents.
PC Irvine was in school on 5th February to discuss online bullying and internet safety with children and to remind them of the ages which they should be to access these. The National Online Safety website has a series of parental guides on many of the social media platforms and you may find this useful. Their guide to the current MOMO trend is shown below.
Whilst we do everything in school to minimise the effects of these sites and trends, I would ask that you are vigilant when your children are online to ensure they are not subject to viewing such social media trends.
On the 25th of January we celebrated Burns Day with a traditional Burns lunch. Primary 6 did the speeches. The boys did a traditional toast to the lassies and the lassies repdonded back. Maddison did the Selkirk Grace and Mr McIlorum piped in the haggis.
.
And the winner is……
on Wednesday the 23rd of January P5/6/7 held an election to see who would be the winning party. 13 parties took part and had the chance to deliver their speeches on what their party promises were. Other parties were then allowed to challenge their promises by asking questions.
After the speeches all the children had the chance to vote for their favourite party using our ballot papers. We had to make sure we put a cross in the box.
After the votes were counted we found out who was the winning party and the winners were the D.I.S.C.O party. They got to make a winning speech to remind the pupils of their promises. Party leader Skye said ‘she didn’t expect this and that the party will prove they were the correct choice’ after winning the vote.
On Friday afternoon we had our Christmas party, we did lots of dancing, played games, ate sweets and of course had an amazing time.
