The school is absolutely delighted that our first attendance at the NL Championship resulted in a medal haul!!! One of our teams won gold and we also have several gold, silver and bronze individual medal winners.  Impressive stuff!! They won’t be going to Rio for the Olympics but give it a few more years and we could be looking at a future Commonwealth or Olympic Champion.

The school could not be more proud of our fantastic gymnasts who attended the NL Championships being held at Airdrie Academy this morning. Agile, graceful and poised they did a wonderful job of showing off their abundant talent. Great work boys and girls. We are all looking forward to the next event.  Below is a slide show that highlights the morning event.

One of our cheerleading champions came to the office this morning to show off her trophy. Well done!!

The boys and girls of Room 8 have been busy at home planning, designing and creating their own board games.  They presented them to their classmates and then played the games with the pupils of Room 3. Fantastic work boys and girls!!!

The hall was a very noisy and happy place as our  Pr. 4 and 5 pupils enjoyed their Christmas party this afternoon.   As you can see they had a great time.

A group of our Pr.4 and 5 pupils were out of school last Friday to take part in the Sportshall Athletics tournament at Airdrie Leisure Centre.  The boys and girls came back enthused and delighted with their personal performances and scores.  There were lots of personal best recorded so well done everyone!

The pupils of Room 8 and Room 9 had a workshop this week  courtesy of Summerlee Heritage Museum as part of their studies on Scotland.  They looked at the are of weaving and making tartan and as you can see from the pictures had a very informative and entertaining afternoon.

The boys and girls of Pr 1 -4 had a visit from author Laura Jackson  and her friend Badger! They had an entertaining morning listening to stories about Badger from his collection of books. The school bought several sets of books for classes  which Laura signed for the school. Some lucky children also received their own signed copies.

This term Room 10 have been learning all about Global Citizenship and the Rights of the Child. They have shown a great interest in this topic and have thoroughly enjoyed learning about people all over the world. On Friday, the boy and girls worked cooperatively to create a news report all about children’s rights. They each came up with lots of amazing, creative ideas and even had an appearance from Barack Obama!
