P2b Assembly

Primary 2b have been hard at work, raising the profile of Fairtrade within the school.  They have been selling bags of rice grown in Malawi.  By selling 90kg of rice, we are helping to send children to school in Malawi since only 1 in 3 children will get an education.

John Riches, pictured below, is the chairman of the fairtrade rice organisation and he came in to school to thank the children for their hard work and dedication.

 

Rights Respecting School Celebration

On Tuesday 5th May, we hosted a celebration of our achievements as a rights respecting cluster of schools.  Kilmacolm Primary, St Francis’ Primary, St Michael’s Primary, Craigmarloch School, Port Glasgow High School and St Steven’s High School all joined us in Newark.

Our key note speaker was  the Corporate Director, Education, Communities & Organisational Development, Patricia Cassidy.

The children presented the work they had done so far on their journeys to be a rights respecting school.  Gerry McMurtrie, Children’s Rights & Information Officer, expressed his delight that Port Glasgow schools cluster were working as a partnership to develop children’s rights.

Young people from 3rd year at Port Glasgow High School helped all the schools to role play a bullying scenario that the children could then perform to their respective schools.

P7 Residential Trip to Dalguise

On Monday 23rd March 39 P7 pupils set off for a week of adventure to PGL Dalguise activity centre.  During their 5 days there, pupils took part in many activities and experiences including abseiling, canoeing, orienteering, climbing, giant swing, archery and quad biking. They worked together to overcome some team challenges.  Many pupils faced their fears and challenged themselves.  The staff were very proud of the behaviour and attitude of everyone. Well done to all!

Instrumental Night

On Thursday 19th March, the very talented singers and musicians of Newark Primary had a concert to showcase their extraordinary talents.  It was a wonderful evening, where parents, music tutors and staff had the privilege to listen to the emerging talent in our young people.

The guitar, brass, strings, woodwind, chanter, penny whistle groups, together with the choir made this a memorable evening.  We must say a huge thank you to all the music tutors and to the parents for all their help and support!

 

 

Red Nose Day

The children had a great time with Active Schools.  What a lot of energy – the adults were exhausted watching!

 

Mr Blyth won the Welly Bean Walk of Shame!!  One of the best jokes of the day was:  What does Mr Blyth eat for lunch?  Beans on toes!! heehee
