During Health Week Scotland on 10^th-14^th June we are encouraging pupils to bring fruit or veg to school at break time as a healthy snack (this is not in addition to a sweet or crisps this should be the only snack they have).  Children will get 1 house point for each day they do this.  If by the end of the week have brought a piece of fruit or veg on 5 consecutive days they will receive a bonus 5 house points.  This week takes place right before the final count of house points and could have a big impact on which House triumphs this year and has the opportunity to attend the end of year trip!  Extra fruit and veg snacks will be available for purchase in the canteen during this week and points can be earned this way too!

Dear Parent/Carer,

The pupils in P5, 6 and 7 are preparing for the much anticipated end of year school show. This year, we have chosen “High School Musical” and look forward to the singing, dancing and entertainment! The dates are Tuesday 11th (1.45pm) and Wednesday 12th June (7pm). 

We are organising a raffle for the two dates and any money raised will benefit your child in the school. Mrs Ali is looking for any donations of vouchers, gifts or services for the raffle. Anything received will be very much appreciated. If you would like to participate in this, please contact the office or send your donation into school. We appreciate your support in this venture. Thank you!

A big thank you to Mr Thomson and the S5 and S6 pupils who visited from Woodfarm today to deliver a fantastic worshop.  P7 enjoyed a variety of stations including Sectarianism, UNRC, fake news, climate change and Amnesty International.

 

For your homework you have to prepare a solo talk.  We want you to talk about your desired future career.  Think about;

• What you want to do
• How you plan on achieving this
• What inspired you to choose this career path?
• Is there anyone you admire that is in that career?

Make sure you have rehearsed so you can talk loudly and clearly about your aspirations.  You can use a power point or cards to help you.  You will be assessed on the following:

• I made eye contact with my audience
• I spoke clearly and expressively
• I used some interesting words
• The information I shared was in a logical order
• I answered any questions that were asked at the end of my talk

You are going to present to the class during the week of the 25^th March

Good Luck!
