On Wednesday 6th June, 2 teams took part in the annual Guid Nychburris schools relay swimming gala at DG1 pool. There was a high standard of swimming throughout and Noblehill pupils were a credit to the school. Our Boys team (Alex, Matteo, Alex and Lochlann) came away with the bronze medal and our girls team (Ayla, Millie, Brooke and Evie) gave their all in their races. Thank you to Mrs Marchbank for working with the teams and to all parents/ carers for their help with transport.
Super samples of Cross-Stitch have been made as part of #Nobleskillz this term, as can be see here modelled by some of P7A. Well done everybody!
P2 have enjoyed exploring Electricity as a Science focus with Mrs Boyom this term. Pupils learned where electricity comes from and how we use it in daily life. We also found out about the dangers of electricity and had fun lighting up bulbs in a basic circuit. We hope you like our owls and lighthouses!
We had our annual visit from the Guid Nychburris principals yesterday. We wish them all the best for Saturday and hope that the sun shines.
On Tuesday 11th June, 16 of our P6 & P7 pupils took part in the Active Schools 4x100m Sprint Relay Competition at the David Keswick Athletics track. All of the pupils were a credit to themselves and the school and gave it their all when they were racing. Two of our teams made it to the finals and everyone had a great time competing. Thank you to all the parents and families who came out to support our young athletes.
During their #Nobleskillz session, P7B took part in the “Design a Pocket Garden Competition.” Their design was one of those chosen by Eco Schools Scotland to be built and exhibited at the Gardening Scotland Show. The pupils worked enthusiastically on building the components of their garden and were very inventive with recycling many items for the garden. The garden went on display at the national show from Friday 31st May to 2nd June, where it was judged against the 24 design winning schools from across Scotland. The judges were very impressed by our garden and awarded it the Best Garden for Wildlife. We were also awarded the Visitors Favourite Garden which was voted for by the public. P7B will now rebuild the garden at the rear entrance of the school for everyone to see. Well done to everyone involved and a special thankyou to Mrs Munro for all her hard work with the children.
On Tuesday 28th May we held our annual Country Dancing concert where the pupils were able to showcase the skills that they have been learning throughout the year. Dancer of the Year Awards were presented to Leah and Renee. Certificates of Leadership were presented to Amy and Rosie. Congratulations to all our dancers for an excellent concert and a special thank you to Jayne and Rose-Marie for all their efforts throughout the year.
