On Monday the 13th of June we had sports day. We were really lucky for such a nice day. 1st was the 30m sprint for primary 4-7 then. The 20m sprint for primary 1-3 then the next race was the sack race. The next race was the tattie race. After that race was the 3 legged race for primary 4-7, primary 1-3 did the quoit race. Then it was the 3 lap race. Then if you wanted you could do the 8 lap race after that it was the little ones race then the adults race. After that we had a picnic lunch outside in Gotties garding.

Type ‘Onsie’ day at school

November 20, 2015 Miss Nicholson Leave a comment

Today everyone wore their onsie or pyjamas to school to help raise money for Type One Diabetes research.

JDRF is the world’s leading funder of vital type 1 diabetes research. We would like to support them so that as many bairns as possible can live life free of this life-long, life threatening condition.

There are 29,000 bairns living with type 1 diabetes in the UK and that includes someone in our school. So to raise awareness of World Diabetes Day (14th of November) we are wearing our onsies! We were supposed to do this last Friday but unfortunately the school was closed due to bad weather.

Here is Primary 45 wearing their onsies

This is the whole school

Even the teachers joined in too!

The pupil council did a great job of organising lots of games for Golden Time. There were: name the reindeer, What time did he wake up, Where’s the penguin, how many sweets in the jar, a couple of tombola’s and a target throwing game. There was an obstacle course too! People brought in home bakes that were delicious!

We ate them at snack and the ones that were left were sold in the afternoon.

We have had great fun today. Well done to the pupil council for organising such a brilliant day!
