Happy New Year!
The children have all settled well back in to school and have moved to our newly rewired class in room 15 with Mrs. Doyle.
This week they have enjoyed the visit and workshops on Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees. We all learned a great deal including working out incomes, expenditure and budgets. The children did so well that they were presented with certificates from Jim and Karen.
We have a busy term ahead. Our new topic is Electricity. In P.E. we are developing our ball skills and playing mini-games. Please ensure your child has their P.E. kit on Wednesdays and Fridays. Jewellery should be removed please.
The children will have many opportunities to design and be young engineers through STEM activities.
Please ensure reading books and homework jotters are returned to school daily as they will be required daily.
You can help your child at home by helping them learn the times tables, encouraging them to read; keep up to date with current affairs in the news; practising mental calculations.
Please share any achievements outwith school as we like to celebrate their successes in school too.

Happy New Year and welcome back
Happy New Year to our whole school community. We hope you enjoyed a lovely holiday with your family and friends and feel well rested for the year ahead. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday. Whilst we are sure to see some very tired faces we are confident the children will enjoy being back in the company of their friends. We are also confident that many parents will enjoy the peace and quiet for a few hours.

Wider Achievement
This young lady was delighted to show off her collection of trophies recently awarded for dancing. We love hearing about wider achievement and are very proud of you.
Road Safety Poster Competition
This young lady won a recent Road Safety Competition. We are so proud of her.
Compliments in Primary 7
These two pupils were described by their classmates wonderfully this week during our health and well-being session. To be described as the best friend you could ever have or as someone you could turn to at any time is delightful to hear. We really are proud of you both. One of them had a wee dance to celebrate.
Whole School Assembly
The whole school gathered yesterday to summarise the end of a busy first term. We celebrated many wider achievements and also awarded pupils with maths, writer and artist of the month awards.
Well done to West End who won most house points this month.
P6 & 7 Christmas Party
Primary 6 and 7 had a great time at their Christmas party this week and as you can see from the pictures they are certainly not camera shy. Merry Christmas everyone.
Room 10 Christmas Junk Modelling
Here are some of the pupils from Room 10, Primary 3, showcasing the Christmas decorations and gifts they have created by recycling junk materials.
Assembly
Last week we had a doubled up assembly for Rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 9 and 12. Well done to the boys and girls who were rewarded for their excellent attitude and behaviour by their teachers. Well done also to those who shared their successes outside of school and to the very kind young pupil who had her hair cut and donated it to the Little Princess Trust. Superstars!
