Well done to all our pupils for putting on a fantastic show for our community.  All children put an incredible amount of effort into their class song and our cast did a fantastic job of telling this exciting story.

We are having an amazing health day both indoors and outdoors today.  We have been taking part in micro fit, playground games, sketching in our brand new Wigloo and have had some healthy tasty snacks.  We hope the weather lasts throughout the day as we are having so much fun.

We had a fantastic Eco Inspection on Wednesday where all pupils impressed the inspector with their Eco knowledge. We successfully renewed our Eco Flag (3rd flag) and we are so proud of all our pupils who helped to achieved this.  Our flag will hopefully arrive in a few weeks.

During our weekly assembly, we did some food tasting to see if we could tell the difference between popular well known brands and supermarket own brands.  We tested Jaffa cakes, custard creams, chocolate digestives and various cereals.  We couldn’t tell the difference between some of the products and we worked out how much we would save if we bought own brands.  I think some pupils will be advising parents to buy supermarket own brands during your next shop.

We all had a fantastic night on Friday to say a big thank you to Mrs Robertson at the Alona Hotel.  Well done to Team Supreme on winning the Quiz.

P6 pupils had a fantastic day at Drumpelier Loch.  They went on a nature trail looking at various plants and birds and had fun in  the play park.  We would like to say thank you to the PTA for providing ice cream for us.

P6 pupils had a fantastic morning in the school grounds taking part in an orienteering challenge.  Brian and April were the winners followed by Jack Thomson and Jason.

We are glad to see our friends are having a great time in York.  P6 pupils have also been having fun with some outdoor activities.  Skip and Blossom from the local scout pack came in to do some team building exercises including how to pitch a tent and how to create a catapult.  Despite the weather we were outside all afternoon.

We were out in the sunshine this morning checking out our brand new seating in our Wigloo.  We are looking forward to working with our pupils in this brand new environment.

We took part in the Airdrie Schools Cup this year with an excellent performance from the boys and girls involved.  Mr Murray and Miss Kennedy were very proud of the team who work cooperatively, showed good sportsmanship and didn’t lose any games.

Well done.
