Primary 7 helped to plan some World Book Day activities across the school. They spent the morning down in P1 reading to the wee ones and they took small groups of P1 and P2 children up to the library to introduce them to some new story sacks. Mrs Robertson has made up these sacks which include a traditional tales story as well as finger puppets or stick puppets to help retell the story.
The P7s also delivered the World Book Day books to each class so that every pupil in the school could take home their very own Book. We would like to say a huge thank to Mrs Robertson who trailed around the shops collecting all the books for us!
In our Home Circles on Tuesday we focused on Article 29 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child.
Article 29 states that ‘a child or young person’s education should help their mind, body and talents be the best they can. It should also build their respect for other people and the world around them. ‘
The BIG questions our pupils answered were …
Why is it important that we come to school?
What would an excellent school look, feel and sound like?
As always, our wonderful Home Circles came up with some insightful and thoughtful answers. Read them below …

Our Primary 6 pupils were so excited to meet their ECC buddies this afternoon!
They had a wonderful time getting to know to each other and are very much looking forward to being role models and helping our August P1 pupils settle into their new school.

We enjoyed a wonderful FUN 31 in the lovely sunny but chilly afternoon today, playing with our new outdoor play equipment. The new tyres, steering wheels, planks and rollers were well tested out by our pupils. A great way to kickstart the weekend!
