Choir

In NPS Mrs Macavoy and Miss Clapperton has set up a choir for 6 and 7’s. In the choir we were performing down the street in the Square on the 30th of November 2018 for Christmas, on that day 2 girls  a solo part on that day. So far we are really enjoying the choir and hopefully it lasts until 2019 year we will be focusing more on Scottish songs for Burns Day and hopefully more for Easter time. We also performed at the Cumnock Hospital and also the school Christmas service. We really enjoyed the fist year of the choir and we’re looking forward to visiting more places and singing more songs.

November 2018 rights respecting schools

The rights respecting school have said to be looking at some of the rights of a child like for example a child has a right to a education  .We have asked for more information and they said they have been taking the information from a page of the rights to plan their very own rights charter . They have also been talking about the rights and explaining the rights of a child.

Today the rights respecting group has been choosing  the class champion to go around gathering information, each group were given the choice of which class they would like to be champions of.

This week the rights respecting schools have been creating the schools rights charter when they are finished they will be hanging it up in the corridors to hopefully remind people the rights of a child.

What Primary 2/3 Have Been Doing In Their Class

The other day we had the opportunity to visit primary 2/3 and we picked 2 pupils from that class to explain to us what they have been doing lately in their class. They told us that they were writing words on computers to practise their spelling, playing maths games on the computers to learn about mathematics and still have fun, learning to write their names including capitals, learning about woodland animals and last but not least learning about numbers that round to 20. Pupils have said that they have really enjoyed being in primary 2/3 and learning about lots of fascinating things about the woodland animals.
