We used our house campfires at assembly so that children could exercise their pupil voice on the redevelopment of Marmian Road play park. Children considered what would be good for children aged up to 5, from age 5 – 12 and what resources/equipment would be good for children who need a bit more support.

Primary 1-3 enjoyed their snowball madness after school session. I think they enjoyed aiming at the teachers a bit too much!

Congratulations to our primary five winner of the North Lanarkshire Calendar competition. We had a special presentation at assembly yesterday with the Road Safety team to award the winning prize and  highly commended certificates.

The Eco committee’s assembly was fantastic today. It explained what we can do as a school to reduce lots of waste, from water, litter, energy and food. The committee created videos showing us what we need to do and even had a fantastic Eco wastebuster rap!
