Playgroud Update
Work is due to start on the top playground of the main building on Monday 17th February 2014. All children must therefore use the Main Enterance at all times.
‘The School We’d Like’ competition
P5 entered ‘The School We’d Like’ competition to try to win £5000 to build a cookery and life skills room. We got through to the semi-finals! We spent a lot of time discussing what we would like in the room and what we would use it for. We also talked about what life skills are and we thought they were something you would need to know for when you were older such as cooking, cleaning, washing, staying safe and managing money. We carried out a survey of the children from P1 to P7 and sent a survey home to ask what other people thought we should use the room for. Also, we talked about how we could use the room to benefit other people in the community, such as Brownies, Compass, the Care Home, young carers, other schools and many others and we made paper chain puppets to show who we could help. Then Andrew and Chloe went with Miss Sinclair and took all this information down to Newcastle! They had to persuade the judges to choose our school to get the money by presenting all the information. Miss Sinclair said they did a fantastic job. Chloe said, ‘I felt very nervous to start off with but as the presentation went on I got the hang of it. I enjoyed the day and I am very confident that we did well and I hope that we win!’
The judges asked some very tricky questions but were impressed with the answers Chloe and Andrew gave. We are all very proud of them for presenting the information and P5 worked really well together to collect it all.
SOC Bingo Tea
On Friday 28th February SOC is holding a Bingo Tea in the Coupar Angus Town Hall. Eyes down 7:30pm.
There will be a snowdrop theme to our Bingo Tea this year to support the Snowdrop Open Weekend on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd March 2014. Donations for prizes gratefully received.
Good to be Green
92 children have remained all green for two terms with a further 14 children managing to be ‘all green’ in term 2. This is a great achievement. James MacKenzie received a school watch for his efforts.
Success of Writers
20 primary 7 children have had their poems shortlisted for the William Soutar Writing Award. The children and their families were invited to attend the awards ceremony at the North Inch Community Campus, Perth on 1st February.
William Williamson and Richard Mitchell both won Commended certificates for their poems. Well Done!
