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.

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.
The summer break is nearly over ! We hope you have enjoyed your long summer break in the glorious sunshine and are looking forward to coming back to school on Friday 16th August at 9.00am.

We recognised the great teamwork and cooperation our children have shown over this session.

Mrs Welsh presented the House Captains will a certificate for their excellent leadership and announced the overall winner of the House Shield for the session 2012-2013 as ‘Lewis’!
