Farewell and Good Luck to Paige

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!

Mother’s Day by P2/3

Primary 2/3 worked hard on Mother’s Day over the past two weeks.  Last Friday some of our Mums and Grans attended the assembly we did with P1, P1/2 and P2.

Mrs Horne says the assembly was fab.  Before the assembly we worked on portraits of our mums, writing 10 things I love about my mum and making Mother’s Day cards.

Louise loves her mum because she is kind and caring.  Brooke loves her mum because she loves her.  Morgan loves her mum because she gives her dinner.  Euan loves his mum because she buys him games.  Iain loves his mum because she nurtures him.  Zoe loves her mum because she buys her good presents for her birthday.

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.

Wonderful Wellbeing @ Bankton

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.

Health and Wellbeing is EVERYONE'S responsibility @ Bankton

 

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!

100th Collection of the Bankton Credit Union

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!

Alexander, Robbie and Logan give Credit Union the thumbs up!
