Sports Day

Today pupils took part in our annual  Sports Day.

All pupils were allocated to a house  – Thorfinn, Olaf or Magnus and they took part in a number of events to earn points for their team.

Pupils in P4-7 took part in 8 different events and  finished with a relay.

P1-3 had 7 different events.

It was lovely seeing so many parents and family members come along to support the children.

 

The Dragon of the Western Sea

Pupils in P5 and P6 entertained their peers and family and friends today as they performed alongside Scottish Opera.

Thanks to Miss Simpson the  pupils had learned all the words of the songs prior to this morning and in just 1hr and 40 mins the show was pulled together.

Everyone did an amazing job and the pupils worked so hard.  They all had so much fun.

Special thanks to Scottish Opera and to Noelle Henderson who funded this opportunity through YMI funding.

 

Edinburgh trip -Day 3

Our first stop today was at the Ratho Climbing Centre where we got to abseil and climb.  It was lots of fun and so good seeing everyone challenge themselves.

We are so proud of all the young people who are behaving so well and are great company.

We had our lunch in glorious sunshine at Bannockburn before heading in doors to hear all about the Battle of Bannockburn.  In groups the children then held their own battle. Once again the Scottish were victorious in “The Battle of the Bowling Club”.

We had our tea in Pizza Hut and then all enjoyed Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

RAF 100

We are thrilled to be involved in supporting the RAF celebrate their centenary.

One of the most exciting events taking place is the RAF100 Baton Relay which sees a specially designed baton visit 100 sites associated with the RAF in 100 days.  As part of this relay the baton will travel to RAF Saxa Vord in a Typhoon fast jet from Lossiemouth  this afternoon.

To make the event even more symbolic the jet will carry out a low-level jet flypast over Bell’s Brae Primary School this afternoon at approximately 2.15pm.   Squadron Leader Daniela Nowalski has been co-ordinating this event with staff at the school and will visit the school this afternoon with a replica baton.

Working with the RAF’s partner the Big Ideas Company we have received resources to support their ‘Remember RAF100 Project’ and involve our learners in this celebration.
