Well done Primary 2, the assembly was superb! Everyone who volunteered to speak did really well especially when using a microphone which is really tricky.
Here is a few photographs. We had a keen P7 photographer, who tried to get a picture of everyone speaking or singing!
Thank you to all the parents who were able to come along this morning.

Thank you to everyone who came along. The pupils had a great morning after a week of looking forward to it. We hope you enjoyed our song about Pablo the Banana.
A big well done to the children who spoke about Fairtrade,speaking in front of a large group of people can be very intimidating but they all showed they are Confident individuals.
The final preparations for our Fairtrade Coffee Morning is complete. We’ve decorated our biscuits, written our presentation and even rehearsed some entertainment.

Items discussed:
Homework –
Whole school homework: parents liked the whole school homework and felt pupils were engaging well.
Numeracy e-homework: Sumdog and Education City providing a range of interesting and engaging games at pupils level. A reminder to encourage pupils to log in as guest setting does not target skills for pupils. Mr McKenna emphasised that research has shown that at least 30 minutes of Sumdog per week has a beneficial impact on the development of Numeracy and Mathematics skills.
Literacy
Reading for Enjoyment: In P2 we are working on encouraging pupils to read for enjoyment, through trips to the Foundry, exploring different reading materials and improving use of School Library. Parents noted that pupils enjoyed the trip to the Foundry.
Numeracy
Currently using Strong Maths every day with this term’s focus on Subtraction strategies using visual aids and concrete materials.
Health and Wellbeing
Mrs Hemphill is working with the pupils to develop their knowledge of Food and Nutrition and applying this knowledge to make healthy meals.
Free Flow Playground
Parents asked about the free flow playground. Primary 2 are encouraged to stay off the muddy areas. Primary 2 are reminded to tell an adult if something upsets them during playtimes.
Communication
Parents are enjoying accessing the blogs and finding out about what is happening in school.
Parent Partnership Film Afternoon
This week we were treated to a Film afternoon. We watched the Highway Rat and enjoyed juice and popcorn. We are really grateful to all the parents who organised this event. Thank you.
World Thinking Day
The 22nd February marks World Thinking day. Many of our pupils wore their Rainbow and Beavers clothing today. The pupils talked enthusiastically about the activities they take part in. Rainbows starts at age 5 and Beavers can join from age 6 – perfect for Primary 2.

Jakson, Ciaran and Eva have been participating in reading challenge this week. They had to read aloud to 20 people. They have been reading to P2 and P7 pupils and in the wider community. They went to the Foundry on Wednesday and on Thursday to Arthurlie Family Centre where they read to the nursery children. A super example of three Successful Learners and Confident Individuals.
