Bikeability Session 3
Some of our P7 pupils took part in their 3rd session of bikeability level 2 training today. Lots of right and left turns. Good road positions and clear looks over shoulders for safety and to have awareness of traffic. Pupils coped well with traffic in training area and followed instructions from sports leaders and volunteers very well. We will try out anew area next week for our last session. Well done everyone.
Remembrance Service
Two of our house captains Jack and Keira-lee attended the Remembrance service at church on Sunday and the wreath laying ceremony in the park. Thank you both for joining Mrs Duncan for this event and representing the school so well.
Thank you also to Rhuri for sharing the nursery wreath with Mrs Duncan at the park.
Assembly and HT Awards
Our pupil council presented information to the school about their plans for Children in Need next Friday. It was the first time for some of the pupils presenting to the whole school nd they all did really well. Thank you Mrs Howie for organising this with the pupils.
The 2nd focus in assembly today was about Remembrance. I shared a lovely assembly powerpoint from the RBL with the children about the poppy and the importance of Remembrance. Some of our house captains will join me at church and the Remembrance Service in the Park on Sunday.
Head Teacher’s Awards were also given out. We had a couple of family awards which are alway great. It is lovely seeing much pride siblings take when they see each other receiving awards.
Awards were given for lot of reasons today these included collaborating in play, showing initiative in helping peers, being a role model, showing improved understanding of meta skills, displaying the school values of included and responsible and super poetry writing. The range of achievements across the school are always amazing and it is a pleasure to hear from the teachers about pupils every week when they speak about them during assembly.
Halloween Discos
