Growing together through fun, happy and meaningful learning experiences where everyone is NURTURED, MINDFUL, PASSIONATE and SUCCESSFUL (NMPS)—- We are a Gold Right’s Respecting School & Nursery and a Breast Feeding Friendly Establishment!
The Fairtrade Committee, as well as all of the boys and girls, at New Monkland Primary have been working so hard to learn and implement Fairtrade, and have been awarded their new FairAchiever Award.
Over the next few years, we will continue to focus on Fairtrade and become the best Fairtrade School possible.
A big thank you to all of the parental support, too.
Our Primary 1 and Primary 6 children were working together, using the outdoor environment. Primary 1 were showcasing their knowledge of compound words. Primary 6 were demostrating their management and collaborative working skills. Both worked incredibly hard and it was a very successful lesson. Well done to all.

Primary Four are learning about Big Cats in their new interdisciplinary context, and thoroughly enjoying it.
Today, the boys and girls drew tigers freehand and then used their collage skills to create the tiger’s natural habitat around the edge. Don’t they look fabulous?
Fact(s) of the day: Did you know the Tiger lives in South – Asia?
Did you know the tiger is the heaviest, strongest and most powerful of the Big Cats?
Primary 1 and 2 have been out everyday as part of our Active School initiative…Walk to Rio! We also now have Beat the Street to take part in as well. If you see us out and about the village give us a wave. We are enjoying exploring our local environment.
Today was our first day at Gardening Club! The boys and girls spoke about what they would like to learn over the next few weeks. We then went outside and took some weeds out of our outdoor area outside the playroom. We found some worms and we were so excited! We can’t wait until next week 🙂
Moving up the rankings- currently 18th!
Beat the Street is a real life walking, cycling and running game for a whole community. Beat the Street is being delivered on behalf of the National Charity Partnership – a collaboration between Diabetes UK, the British Heart Foundation (BHF) and Tesco. The competition will run in North Lanarkshire from 20 April – 01 June 2016. People score points and win prizes by walking, cycling or running from point to point and tapping a registered and activated Beat the Street RFID (Radio Frequency ID) card or Fob on sensors (Beat Boxes) which are placed on lamp posts across the dedicated routes where the game is being played. A player taps their Beat the Street card or fob at various points on their way to and from work, school and to the shops. Registered players can win regular spot prizes for a ‘lucky tap’ on a Beat Box. To be eligible to win a prize, players must be registered. The more Beat Boxes you tap, the further you travel and the greater your chance of winning a prize. Players can also join teams by choosing from the list on the registration page. There are lots of prizes up for grabs for individuals and teams taking part in Beat the Street.Weekly lucky tap prizes include £25 Decathlon vouchers.
