"Anchored in Excellence"
On Saturday some pupils, parents, grandparents, staff and friends of Portpatrick Primary gave up their time to help pack shopping bags in their local Morrisons supermarket. After a few hours work, all of the pennies were counted and the grand total of £640 was raised! Great work all!
The photograph shows just some of the pupils who gave up their time to help out at the weekend. Thank you to all who supported this event.
The pupils of Portpatrick Primary showed their spots and raised £107 for Children in Need by having a non-uniform day and selling official headbands and wristbands. Well done to all!
Today, PC Siobhan Pellet visited P1-4 as part of their HWB topic on Emergencies and Basic First Aid. She talked about the role of the police and other emergency services. The children learned about what an emergency is and how to call 999 and also learned to call 101 for the Police when it is not an emergency.
The children practised making 999 calls. They need to know their name, address, mum and dads full names and their telephone number. We will be practising all of this with the children.
Yesterday. the pupils of Portpatrick Primary went a walk down to the newly opened Euan’s Playspace , in the village. Border television news team were there to film. They got some action shots of the boys and girls having fun on the new equipment, as well as talking to Euan’s mum and dad and some of the children. Keep an eye out on the news over the next couple of days to see if you can spot any of us!
All the boys and girls at Portpatrick Primary school started the new term off with fun and games at a Hallowe’en party. They had lots of goodies provided by the parents, and all went home with a little treat bag too. Have a look at all of our scary little monsters!
Primary 1 were enjoying some autumn sunshine today – and doing their maths at the same time. The boys and girls went outside and practised their number formation, using chalk – before gathering piles of autumn leaves and counting them to match the numbers.
Look at all the fun they had while learning !
All pupils took part in an assembly do using on the harvest festival led by Reverand Baker.

See what other words they made too…

Rosh Hashanah celebrates the Jewish New Year. It reminds Jewish people of the ‘Creation Story’ where they believe that God created the world in 6 days. On the 7th day, he had a rest! So, each year on Rosh Hashanah, no one is allowed to work and must spend time remembering this miracle and spend time with family.
Rosh Hashanah is also a time for new beginnings. Jewish people aske for forgiveness and say sorry for things they have done in the past year. Some of P1-4 wanted to say sorry for some of the things they have done and ask for forgiveness.
