What a busy week we have had at Holytown Primary School and Nursery Class.<\/p>\n

Police Scotland Visit<\/span>
\nOn Monday our Nursery pupils were visited by two officers from Police Scotland. They were in the Nursery as part of their ongoing learning. The officers were playing with the pupils in the House Corner, reading stories as well as talking about their jobs and ways they can help the children, their families and the local community.<\/p>\n

Winter Weather<\/span>
\nI am sure you are all aware but the children have not been able to go out to play all week due to the conditions in the playground, which have been really icy as well. Fingers crossed we will have a thaw over the weekend. Please ensure your child comes to school with appropriate clothing, it would also be useful if pupils could have extra socks\/tights in their bags incase their feet get wet. \u00a0We have distributed our Winter Weather booklet, this can be used in the event of a school closure and activities can either be completed in homework jotters or on blank paper. \u00a0This work will only be marked if the school is closed. \u00a0A copy can be downloaded by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hall Equipment<\/span>
\nThis week we have been able to use our new Hall equipment, the new screen received a round of applause at Assembly on Monday when it descended from the ceiling!! The music from our new sound system is great and due to the four speakers it is almost like having surround sound. Some of the pupils have been watching DVD’s during wet play and I was told on Wednesday it was like being at the Cinema! Thank you to everyone who attended our Christmas events, which have helped pay for it.<\/p>\n

Divided City<\/span>
\nOur Primary 7 pupils have been working hard with Primary 7 pupils from Christ The King Primary School on their Divided City. I had a quick peek on Wednesday and I am delighted with the sensible and mature manner in which all the pupils from the two schools have been conducting themselves – Well done!<\/p>\n
