P7 Football Team – Kirkshaws v St Bartholomews (Wed 18/11/15)

November 19, 2015 Mr Sharp Leave a comment

It was a wet and windy day. Kirkshaws Primary were playing ST Bartholomews. When the game started Kirkshaws got 2 early goals to put us in the lead. St Bartholomews got a goal back to make it 2-1 at half-time.

When the second have started the flood lights came on and the ball got slippery then the captain Ross Mclellan scored a beautiful goal from 30 yards out! It hit the crossbar and went in. St Bartholomews pulled two goals back and then took the lead for the first time to make it 4-3. Then Kirkshaws pulled a goal back with a stunning penalty kick. As the final whistle approached we had a chance through on goal but their keeper saved the ball and put it out for a corner. Then came the moment of the game…Graeme Mitchell floated a lovely cross over the keeper’s head and straight onto Connor Mitchell’s head. Time stood still! The crowd held their breath. The ball flew into the net and Kirkshaws won the game 5-4.

The win puts us on 4 points and near the top of the league.

What a game!

Into Film Cinema trips

November 13, 2015 Mr Sharp Leave a comment

This week pupils from P1-7 who have achieved Bronze on their Go for Green Pathway were treated to a visit to the Showcase Cinema. The P1-3 pupils travelled on Tuesday to see the film Home while the P4-7 pupils had to wait until the end of the week to see The Sound of Music. Both trips went really well with all pupils behaving and representing Kirkshaws well!

We are hoping to organise another treat later on in the year for pupils gaining Silver and I am sure that all pupils in the school will work hard both in and out of class to achieve this goal.

Our Parent Fundraising Group ran a really successful Coffee Morning today in the dinner hall. At the event some of our pupils, from the Nursery all the way up to the P7s, performed some of their songs from class topics.

Many thanks to all of the Fundraising Group and helpers who constantly give up their own time to help our school. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.

Thanks also to all the parents / carers and wider family members who came along today to support the event.

Have a look at some videos and pictures of the event below.

On Friday we had our third House Assembly of the year.

It was the time of Room 9 to show off all of their hard work and learning from the class. They presented all of their learning on keeping our playground and the environment tidy by always picking up and placing litter in bins. They also sang a song for the school called “Every bit of litter hurts”. It was really impressive!
