In  today’s assembly we learned how to prevent germs spreading from P2 who recently did an investigation. It surprised us how quickly glitter ‘germs’ spread and we will all try to wash our hands more!

The changes to lunchtimes are going very smoothly and the children have adapted very well. It now means that the dinner hall is less crowded and more relaxed. Children are able to sit comfortably with their friends and it is a much more sociable experience. We are trying to encourage good habits i.e., walking, recycling waste appropriately, good manners, talking quietly, etc. The House Captains and Vice Captains are helping us to monitor this and are setting up a ‘Super Table’ on a Friday where children will be invited as a reward for this behaviour. The table will be suitable for packed lunches and school dinners, watch here for some photographs soon.

Sixteen children from Primary 1-7 competed in the North Lanarkshire Heats of the Scottish Schools Gymnastics Competition today at Ravenscraig Sports Centre. They all had great fun, as you can see, and enjoyed every minute of the experience. Many of the children had never taken part in a competition where judges were scoring them on their skill and performance. They competed against many other schools and all performed their vaults and floor routines extremely well. Mrs Leggatt was delighted with every one and they should all be very proud of their achievements. Two children won best overall gymnast in their level-Abbie Nicholl and Summer Winning. Well done to both of these girls and to the very brave boy who was the only male competitor today. Everyone was a credit to Chapelhall Primary School and we are looking forward to next year already. Many thanks to all the parents who turned their living rooms into gym halls to practice and special thanks to Mrs Nicholl and Mrs Higgins for their help too.

Congratulations to our new chums who will be helping pupils to stay safe in our playground.

Congratulations to Courtney Williamson who won the Eco Code competition in school. Her Eco Code will be displayed in every classroom in school and she won a solar robot kit for all her hard work.

David from the Lanarkshire Foodbank came to visit us today and collect the cheque for over £110 donated at the P3 Nativity. We were also delighted to present him with a cheque from all our staff who had raised over £200 by not sending Christmas Cards or buying presents for each other but giving this money to help others instead. We know this will be put to good use in our local community.

P7 children from Chapelhall Primary and St Aloysius Primary enjoyed a visit to Laurel Gardens to sing for the residents a selection of Christmas songs. A great time was had by all:)

Congratulations to our Golden Book Winners for December who were presented with their certificates today.

Our P5 pupils have finished their block of swimming lessons and were presented with certificates during assembly today.

We were so proud of our P3 pupils who performed their Nativity ‘Sparkle’ this afternoon to a large crowd of parents. It certainly got everyone into the Christmas mood and a big well done to our choir and instrumentalists also.
