The children worked in their houses to gain lots of points towards winning the prestigious House cup (to be revealed on Tuesday). The rain stayed off and the staff, pupils, friends and families had a great time spectating and taking part in a variety of sporting activities. Well done to the winning house on the day – Libo!
Please see attached details regarding Eastwood High School’s uniform policy. It has been decided that the wearing of full school uniform is now compulsory. Please see letter attached from Head Teacher, Mr S Maxwell and details of discounts available until 25th June.
As our session comes to an end we would like to remind you about our last remaining upcoming events.
Sports Day is rescheduled to Wednesday 21st June to allow the field to dry as there are a few dry days forecast.
Our Celebration of Achievements will take place at the Church at midday on Tuesday 28th June. The celebration will finish at 1pm and children should be picked up from the church as the school will be closed. No lunches are available that day so remember to supply your child with a snack for playtime.
We look forward to hopefully seeing you at these events!
Uplawmoor Primary School and our Gardening Committee would like to say thank you to Mundell Landscapes for donating compost to our school garden.

If there are any parents who would like to start a ‘watering rota’ to look after the beds in the playground we would be extremely grateful. It would be such a shame to come back in August if all of our hard work was ruined.

There were lots of entrants from Uplawmoor Primary School for the 1k at the gala and we look forward to seeing their medals and trophies at assembly. A special WELL DONE goes to the 3k runners. There were only 2 school entrants for the 3k distance. Christopher Rae returned in 3rd place for the boys with a time of 12.58 And most especially Alex goldie who was our youngest entrant, she ran a determined race despite being up against girls much older than her – some in high school! Both runners were a credit to themselves and the school and we are very proud of them both. Well done Alex and Christopher!
Well done to Sophie who has won the Gala programme design competition. Gala is on Saturday, 1pm in Uplawmoor Park.
Health Week continued with the First Responders coming to teach us what to do in an emergency. The children were also shown how to use the defibrillator which is located at the Mure Hall. Very worthwhile training for every single one of us!
Health week continues with children meeting Lynn and Colin and their beautiful guide dogs Jason and Eva. We learned about what it is like to be blind and how these wonderful dogs change the lives of blind people.
The children also learned about Makaton which uses signs and symbols to help people to communicate with one another.
The Sourdough bakery came to talk about where our food comes from. The children could explore how food tastes, smells, feels and what noise it makes when you eat it. Today the Science Centre are here to show us how our bodies work.
Keep your eye on Twitter this week to find out what the children are learning during their Health Week activities. Today’s workshop was circus skills with Bezerkas Circus. Looks like fun!
