Leave a comment
Well done to our amazing House and Vice Captains. They spoke with confidence and pride  during the launch coffee morning for our school celebrations. 
Primary 7 sang ‘We’ll Meet Again’ by Vera Lynne to the audience to represent our decade of the 1940s.
Many guests commented on how impressed they were by how confident and respectful our Primary 7 representatives were during the morning. 
Well done everyone! 

P7 House Captain Elections

House Captain Elections 

We worked really hard to write inspirational and motivating speeches to persuade our House Peers to vote for us as House Captains and Vice Captains. 
This was a very nerve racking experience and we developed our  confidence and resilience to complete this task. All the adults in the school were very impressed with how well written everyone’s speeches were and how confident they were talking in front of their peers. 
Although we had some disappointment in the class, everyone dealt with this very well and were supportive of each other and celebrated each others success.
A great learning experience for all the Primary 7s. 
Mr Houston then presented the House Captains and Vice Captains badges at the Award Assembly. 

Well done to:

Dunlop : Harriet, Scarlett

Fowlds:  Norah, Elvie

Howie: Kade, Gracie

 Fulton : Murray and Amelia

 

P7 Learning About our School House Names

Leave a comment

Fulton Fowlds Dunlop Howie 

To prepare for our House Captain Speeches and to learn a little bit more about the names of our School Houses, we completed some research on the laptops.

We learned about  John Fulton who invented the Orrery, and was a notable mathematician.  Matthew Fowlds who was the last remaining hand loom weaver in the area and died after his 100th birthday. The Dunlop family who were a famous Covenanting Family in the area. John Howie, who was born near Fenwick in Lochgoin Farmhouse which provided refuge to the Covenanters.

We discovered that all of these important Fenwick people are buried in the village. So we decided to go and explore the village and  find their memorial stones.
