P5/6/7 made some delicious soup with our home grown potatoes and turnips. All of our children enjoyed the tasting session.
When preparing and cooking a variety of foods, I am becoming aware of the journeys which foods make from source to consumer, their seasonality, their local availability and their sustainability.

As a Rights’ Respecting School it is important for us to know our rights in school and the actions we need to respect each other’s rights’.
Each class has created their own pledge.
I know that friendship, caring, sharing, fairness, equality and love are important in building positive relationships. As I develop and value relationships, I care and show respect for myself and others. HWB 0-05a / HWB 1-05a / HWB 2-05a
Meet the team !
We took part in the first fixture of the P5/6 football festival at Airdrie Academy. We were joined by teams from Tollbrae PS and other schools in the cluster and had great fun despite the heavy rain.
I am experiencing enjoyment and achievement on a daily basis by taking part in different kinds of energetic physical activities of my choosing, including sport and opportunities for outdoor learning, available at my place of learning and in the wider community. HWB 2-25a
P5/6/7 have visited our community allotment to harvest our vegetables. Unfortunately the hot summer weather was not good for our crops and we lost a lot of our produce. However, we were delighted to discover our potatoes and turnips have thrived and we are looking forward to cooking them soon.

They enjoyed presenting to the school during assembly and even did a magic trick !
Our children are enjoying spending their privilege time doing activities of their choosing.
The curriculum should respond to individual needs and support particular aptitudes and talents. It should give each child and young person increasing opportunities for exercising responsible personal choice as they move through their school career.

P3/4 have started getting ready for a block of football training sponsored by Tesco bank. During September and October pupils will be enjoying sessions from a trained coach every Friday. The lessons will end with a tournament involving other local schools.
I am discovering ways that I can link actions and skills to create movement patterns and sequences. This has motivated me to practise and improve my skills to develop control and flow. HWB 1-21a
We are delighted with the standard of behaviour and effort from our pupils in the first few weeks back to school. Everyone has started the new term with a positive attitude and we are so pleased that no one has lost any privilege time so far ! We thank parents for your continuing support and encouragement.
The children have started their first block of ‘Privilege Time Learning Clubs’. The children were asked to chose from 5 clubs, stating their 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice. Most children received their first or second choice of club and enjoyed choosing from a wide range of fun activities. The clubs run for three weeks at a time and the children will be encouraged to offer their ideas and suggestions for future clubs.
This year our 3 House groups will be named after Scottish Scientists who have made important contributions to our lives. We have recently held elections for the three ‘House Captains’ and a member of the teaching staff will have a supervisory role for a particular ‘House group’. Everyone is encouraged to earn points and the House Captains add these to the grand total each week.
House Groups for 2013-2014
Fleming House Captain – Megan McGivern
Balfour House Captain – Ruth Burns
Dewar House Captain – Billie Smith
The children will be involved in many interesting science investigations throughout the year and we will be holding a ‘Science In The Spotlight’ week in October.
Stay tuned for more information.
