Rochsolloch Primary School and Nursery ClassToday, our P5 pupils were joined by their families as they presented a Display of Knowledge! Our children aimed to give their families a snapshot of the learning that has been taking place in the class over the past term!
Thank you so much to everyone who came along to support our children, and for the lovely feedback given to our pupils!
Last week our P7 class invited their parents and grandparents in to see a wonderful ‘Display of Knowledge’ all about their topic on the 1980s! Check out this mega-gallery to see the children in action!
Our Scottish Assembly starts at 9.15am on Wednesday. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
This morning, P5 presented our last class assembly of the year to pupils, parents and friends. The assembly was all about the World of Work, which has been a big focus for our P5 pupils this session. Preparing pupils for life in the real world is such an important part of the job we do at Rochsolloch Primary School!
Our P5 pupils spoke confidently about their studies in class, sharing a great deal of what they have learned about life as a working person, including the skills and qualities they might need to be successful in their chosen career.
P5, we especially enjoyed:
* Learning which jobs you’d like to do when you’re older
* Hearing your singing – which was terrific
* Watching your excellent dancing
* The Incy Wincy Spider drama song
As always, the children were a credit to their class teacher, their families, and our school. We would like to thank P5 and Mrs Munoz for putting on such an excellent performance, as well as our parents and families who helped to turn the class out in such fantastic costumes!
On Wednesday morning, Mrs Polatajko and the children of Primary 1 Edinburgh hosted a wonderful family Teddy Bears’ Picnic!
The children sang beautifully, wrote about their bears and drew some excellent pictures. They also made some delicious jam sandwiches from instructions they had written themselves! Their guests then joined them in playing some parachute games, before they finished off their day listening to Mrs Polatajko reading ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt!’
We’re not scared!!!
Great job P1E; great job Mrs Polatajko! Check out the gallery below to see the fun!
P2 have been working very hard this term with Mrs Harper and Mrs Paterson, practising for their class assembly. The children looked absolutely terrific on stage dressed as a motley crew of Scottish pirates and mermaids! They shared a huge amount of class learning with their audience, and also displayed some of their fabulous topic work in the school dining hall.
P2, we especially enjoyed:
We would like to say a big well done to our pupils and teachers for working so hard to produce their performance for us today! Thank you also to our families and friends for joining us in such large numbers – you really help to make these events special!
This morning, P6/7 presented an excellent assembly, all about Japan!
The assembly started and ended with some perfectly spoken Japanese, and included a magnificent Japanese karaoke version of ‘Let It Go’! That’s definitely a Rochsolloch Primary School first!
The audience were transfixed on our performers as they shared with us some of the wonderful learning that has been taking place in the class in recent weeks. P6/7 have truly covered the whole curriculum through this topic, investigating everything from sport to natural disasters – even making some delicious sushi!
The way the children presented their complex spoken lines was absolutely tremendous. They did themselves proud!
Thank you so much to all of our parents, grandparents and friends who turned out to help make this a great experience for our children. Thank you also to Mr Flanigan and Miss Findlay to preparing the children so well for this wonderful showcase!
It certainly was a busy day at Rochsolloch Primary School yesterday!
We were visited by Mark McGuinness, from Ecosse Boxing Club. Martin is a former Commonwealth boxing coach, and he joined us to share some of his expertise with our children.
After speaking to the whole school at assembly, Mark took some classes for individual sessions, where he taught the children about the sport and gave them a chance to try it out.
Check out the gallery below!
Our pupils and guests had a real treat at school this morning, as P4/5 and Mrs Rodman presented an incredible assembly, all about Vikings!
During the assembly the pupils shared a huge amount of knowledge and displayed wonderful skills, including:
All while really looking the part in some amazing costumes!
We would like to say a huge congratulations to P4/5 and Mr Rodman – we think it was one of the best assemblies we have ever had at Rochsolloch!
Thank you so much to our audience, parents and guests who came along – for your lovely comments and for supporting the children with their terrific costumes and super homework projects.
This morning, the pupils from P2/3 and Mrs Hill presented an excellent assembly all about Sound Energy.
The children shared a wealth of knowledge about sound, including: how sound is created through vibrations, Morse Code, and how our ears help us with balance as well as hearing.
We also got to see how the children have developed their musical skills during their topic through excellent demonstrations of glockenspiel playing and drumming.
We really enjoyed the performance P2/3, and the feedback from your audience was first class!
Great job children; great job Mrs Hill!
We had a lovely start to the day today here at Rochsolloch Primary School as the children of P1S invited their families in to enjoy a Scottish themed coffee morning!
The children sang some lovely Scottish songs, danced and recited poetry for their adoring public, before joining their families for tea, coffee, juice and biscuits. We also learned about what makes our girls and boys proud to be Scottish.
The morning was rounded off with some prize bingo, with two lucky winners taking a delicious prize home this afternoon!
Thank you so much to all of the families who turned out to make this a memorable experience for the children, and for the lovely feedback which will be shared with the class.
Finally, a huge well done to Miss Clerkson, Mrs Fraser, Mrs Morisson, and all of our little Scottish stars in P1S!
This morning, P3 and Miss Black presented a wonderful assembly, all about Day and Night.
Earlier in the year, the pupils had read ‘The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark’, which is a classic tale about a young animal struggling with fear.
The pupils from P3 taught us about why there was no reason to be afraid of new things, and that many of our fears are unjustified. We also learned about why we have day and night, as well as some interesting facts about the sun and the moon. In addition to this, we saw some short drama exerts from the story and heard some wonderful singing – including some pop songs with a twist!
You presented so confidently and so clearly P3. It was a wonderful assembly and we really enjoyed it! Congratulations!
Yesterday, P3/4 presented a terrific assembly, all about The Titanic.
The rain was so heavy that some of our guests may have needed a boat to get to the performance…but the hall was as busy as ever and the children did themselves proud as they wowed us with all of the knowledge they have built during their topic studies.
During the performance, we saw and heard about:
We would like to say a huge well done to P3/4 and Miss Allan for presenting such an interesting and unique assembly! Thanks also to parents and carers for turning the children out so magnificently in their uniforms and costumes, and for helping the pupils with the wonderful homework projects they produced!
Every second Wednesday, we hold a ‘Celebrating Success’ assembly. At these assemblies, pupils are awarded with certificates for being Successful Learners, Effective Contributors, Responsible Citizens, or Confident Individuals.
Our House Captains and Vice-Captains also update our school on how many house points have been awarded over the past fortnight. House Points are awarded for positive behaviour, effort, attitude and manners.
We also encourage pupils to share personal achievements with the whole school, including sports medals and trophies, dancing exam success, martial arts gradings, Boys’/Girls’ Brigade badges, and many more!
At Rochsolloch Primary we love to celebrate the successes of our wonderful pupils!!!
As you will know, over the past few days we have been visited by the Rookie Rockstars, and have been having a blast preparing for our upcoming concert.
Our children have:
Have a look at the gallery below to see some serious rocking out!!!
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!
Our School and House Captains have been busy organising a talent show for one of our upcoming school assemblies.
Auditions will be held at lunch-time on Thursday and Friday of this week.
Good luck to all involved!
This morning at assembly time, our pupils were met with a wonderful surprise! Instead of our normal Wednesday assembly, the boys and girls from P1-P7 got together with the children from All Saints Primary to enjoy a magical, hilarious performance of Cinderella!
What a terrific way for our campus family to start the New Year together…
Oh yes it was!
On Wednesday, we held our annual Christmas Service in the school. Each of our classes, and the School Choir performed a range of festive songs for the audience in our packed gym hall!
As our pupils get more and more used to performing on stage, the standard of performance just gets higher and higher and higher! There was a lovely mix of traditional and modern songs: some very lively and upbeat, others slower and more reflective.
Mr Hamilton did a great job leading the service for our pupils, staff and parents, and he was ably assisted by several excellent readers from across the school.
Each and every pupil on stage did themselves, their school and their families proud. It was a lovely way to cap off a busy and successful festive spell!
This morning our hall was filled to the brim with parents, grandparents, relatives and friends who had all come along to see the shining stars of Primary 1 as they presented: Lights, Camel, Action!
The children presented the traditional Christmas story in a very modern way, where each group of characters from the story performed a dance to help tell their part! We saw some lovely line-dancing, some terrific tango, some beautiful ballet, fabulous funk, delightful disco and heard some spectacular singing!
Watching the children on stage is always a privilege and for our P1 pupils, it shows just how far they have come since starting school. Their speaking, singing, dancing and overall confidence was terrific to see.
The whole performance was incredible, and I’m sure everyone who was lucky enough to be in the audience would agree: FAB – U – LOUS!!!
We would like to say a huge thank you to all of the staff who worked tirelessly to make this performance happen, and of course to the pupils of P2, P7 and the School Choir for their involvement in the show!
The performances from today and from yesterday’s dress rehearsal have been filmed and will soon be made into a DVD for our audience to relive the experience, or for those who were unable to come along on the day!
