P1a were sad this week when we said goodbye to one of our classmates who is moving onto another school. Paige was a fantastic member of our class who we will all miss but we know she will be a great addition to her new class. Mrs Lloyd and P1a all wish her and her family well as they move onto pastures new. We made Paige a card to wish her luck and Yixuan brought in a lovely little chick which his mum very kindly made for Paige. Best of luck Paige!

This week in our outdoor classroom visit the morning children had an opportunity to purchase a book using their World Book Day voucher. We then looked around the Centre for people doing something funny for money for Comic Relief.
P2 have been really busy this week preparing for our Mother’s Day assembly !!!
We have been learning songs, writing lovely messages and painting pictures of our fab mums.
Miss Rodford thought P2 did a great job in assembly. Have a look at what we have been doing this week.
We also have our two star learners of the week ….. Well done Emma S and Caiden !!!
This week, the children have been starting to design thier vehicles for thier technology project! We are going to be making vehicles which transport food to shops. We had to think about what type of transport would be best and why. Then we had some time to design our vehicle!! We all worked really well in our groups !!!
After reading Meg’s Eggs the nursery children decorated dinosaur eggs of their own.
Can you believe it??? Over the last week several of the eggs have HATCHED!!!
Kian, Ryan, Charlie, Chloe and Lauren woke up to find that they are now the proud mummies and daddies of some very cute baby dinosaurs!
Ryan’s dinosaur even brought a treat for him and Kian.
During the past couple of weeks we have had lots of fun designing, making and painting our shields as well our Roman Armour. Look out for them at Parent’s Evening.
P.E.
Our teacher always put us through a fast pace warm up which means we are tired out before the main part of the lesson. We were practising shooting into the basketball net and some of us managed to score a basket unfortunately Mrs Sinclair didn’t.
World Book Day
As you can see from our photos we had lots of different characters in our class today. Well done P3, you look amazing!
P1 transformed into some of their favourite characters from a variety of books today for World Book Day. Well done boys and girls, you all looked fab!
Pupils from across all stages of the school have been working in vertical groups this week with a focus on the Wellbeing Indicators. Everyone has enjoyed meeting new people and making new friends within each group. Mrs. Ferguson and I have particularly enjoyed working with children from all classes.
We have developed lots of different skills co-operatively in groups to decide what each of the wellbeing indicators look like in OUR SCHOOL.
Some groups used ipads for filming video clips and raps while others made spinners, had quizzes and made up Acrostic Poems. Teachers and pupils are looking forward to developing these groups as part of our ‘Thinking Thursdays’ this term and next.
Many thanks to Mrs. Reilly, our talented PSW who worked with pupils to co-ordinate our Wellbeing display. We hope you will stop to read our speech bubbles on Parents’ Evening!
On Friday, 6th March we celebrated the 100th collection of the Credit Union here in Bankton This valuable organisation is run by our valued Parent Council Members and Parent helpers who freely give up their time to help our children understand the importance of saving for things you want. There were balloons and prizes for savers who made a deposit today and all new members are given a piggy bank with their first deposit.
If you are unsure of the purpose of the Credit Union, please check out the flier in our useful documents section of the Home Page.
Well done and thank you to our wonderful helpers who worked hard to celebrate this great occasion with the children. Come and join any Friday morning and you too will learn that money may not grow in trees – but it will when you save with the credit Union!
