Nursery Nativity – Professional Photographs!

Gallery

On the 21st of December, both our AM and PM Nursery Class children performed a spectacular show: A Wriggly Nativity!

Everyone who came along would agree that the show was absolutely terrific. The children looked incredible in their costumes and sang their hearts out throughout the show!

After the show, our parents and guests enjoyed a mince pie and the relaxing notes of Mr Bees.  Check out our professional photographs in the gallery below.  We would again like to say a huge thank you to John Wilson Photography for providing us with such perfect snaps of our little stars in action!

Community Police Visit

Gallery

Today, Leanne and Connor from the Community Police popped in to the school for a visit. In the gallery, you can see P5 learning all about anti-social behaviour.  Leanne and Connor did a great job of explaining to our children what anti-social behaviour is and how they deal with it as part of their day to day jobs.

The pupils also got a chance to look at the protective equipment that is used by the police force and some unlucky pupils even found themselves in handcuffs!

Well done Emma!

We would like to say a huge congratulations to Emma, who was awarded a Highly Commended certificate for her entry into the North Lanarkshire Council Road Safety Calendar Competition.

The competition has been running for over twenty years, with literally thousands of pupils taking part each year; meaning that picking up an award is an extra special achievement!

We are very proud of you Emma…great job!

Scottish Assembly

Gallery

As you will know, our pupils have recently been learning Scots poetry in class and at home as part of our annual Scottish Verse Speaking Competition. Today, we held our Scottish Assembly, where our pupils who had finished 1st, 2nd or 3rd in their class were presented with certificates in front of the whole school and invited guests.

Our competition winners performed their poems on stage to a jam-packed gym hall, and they were absolutely superb. Following the wonderful poetry recital, we were treated to a highland sword dance by two of our pupils, which was spectacular!

Congratulations to all of our winner, and to every pupil who competed in our Verse Speaking Competition – the standard of the performances was higher than ever!

Many thanks as well to all of our families who supported their children at home, taking the time to practice and get all of those tricky words just right!
