Primaries 3 and 5 had a great afternoon opening their Read, Write and Count bags. They read ‘Gigantosauras’ together, designed their own dinosaurs and had lots of fun playing games of snap and adding.
“This is great fun!” Christian and Matthew
“Creating the dinosaur was fun!” Rebecca and Taylor
“It was fun being a buddy” Caleb
“I really enjoyed playing games with the Primary 5s” Logan
Dear Pupil
We asked you to complete this questionnaire in June. Here are your thoughts and feelings about school. Most of the results were positive. The largest percentage of ‘No’s’ regarded bullying within school and how teachers dealt with this.
As a result of this concern I will discuss this further with the pupil council and we will focus on these issues during Health and Wellbeing topics and school assemblies. I have shown your teachers the results and they are keen that you are confident that bullying will be dealt with and taken very seriously.
We hope that you know how well you are doing by the comments on your jotter and with chatting to your teacher. Your parents have also had a chat with your teacher recently and it’s good to share this information at home.
We do take an interest in your life in and out of school. Don’t forget to let me know about any outside achievements that we can celebrate together at assembly.
Almost all of you were positive about school and that’s great. We want West Primary School to be a place that you feel safe and happy. We also want you to be interested in learning and to experience support and challenge when needed.
Don’t forget our aims and values:

Every morning for the past few months we have been running a Breakfast Club from 8.15am in the main hall. Click on the PDF link below to find out more information and contact the school office if you would like your child to attend.
We would like to invite parents/guardians to a Reading Session on Friday 25 November as part of Book Week Scotland. During this week there will be a big focus on reading in school and the children in Primary 2 and Primary 3 will be gifted with a READ, WRITE and COUNT pack.
The aim of this pack is to give parents ideas and materials to use to support their children’s learning outside the classroom. At this session, we hope to share the pack and more ideas regarding reading.
The children will be introduced to the pack by older children within the school and will have a chance to read the books and play the games before taking them home.
We look forward to seeing you on Friday 25 November at 2.30pm.

They will visit on the following days:
Primary 2a – 24th November (am)

We will be looking for parent helpers for the trip so please let the school know if you can help.
Primary 3 will be singing Christmas songs at the Brewers Fayre in Linwood. Primaries 3a and 3b on Thursday 8th December and Primary 3c on Friday 9th December. We shall be singing between approximately 12noon and 1.30pm on both dates.
Lunch will be provided for the children. Could you please send them to school in a shirt and tie on this day and they may also wear a Santa hat or some tinsel for singing. We would be delighted if you could join us to hear the children sing.
