Rights Respecting Schools Parent Survey

As part of our journey towards gaining our Rights Respecting School Level 2 award, we would like to ask your opinion on the learning attitudes and behaviour of the children at Bankton Primary School. We would be really grateful if you could follow the link to the Survey Monkey questionnaire and answer the questions as honestly as you can. There will be a follow up questionnaire in a few months to measure the impact of RRS in our school.

To take the survey, please follow this link …

Many thanks, in advance.

Article 42
You have the right to know your rights!
Adults should know about these rights and
help you learn about them, too.

Wednesday we enjoyed making our castle walls with the outdoor learning equipment. We then tested them with cannon balls (foam balls). We used tarps to make a wall, using ropes and knots to keep them up. A few knots that we learnt were a slip knot, an overhand knot and a figure 8 knot.
Sadly we were not able to go swimming this week, but Mr. Herman will be in touch when the make up date will be. We practiced our connectives this morning however we still need some more work.

P1a have been revising lots of different things in maths this week. We practised sorting money, measuring and recognising 2D and 3D shapes.

We also learnt about the the greater than and less than signs with help from Charlie the Chocodile.

Charlie the Crocodile likes to snap up the bigger numbers !!

We also visited the P5 and 6s Fairtrade money raiser event and bought lots of yummy things.

We also made some Pirate faces out of paper plates!

Article 28
You have the right to a good quality education.
You should be encouraged to go to school to
the highest level you can.

Article 27
You have the right to food, clothing, a safe
place to live and to have your basic needs met.
You should not be disadvantaged so that you
can’t do many of the things other kids can do.

Many thanks to the 90+ families who have already registered for our online payment system. This is proving to be a great success, not only in Bankton, but across the James Young Cluster of schools. Very soon we will be using this system for school trips, residentials, uniform orders and tickets for school shows. P.1 – P.3 staff have reported a rapid increase in numbers of parents ordering school meals online. To help you choose something your child will like, I have also uploaded the West Lothian Visual Lunch Menu to the Useful Documents page. This visual menu was produced by Emily Sinclair, Bankton’s Support for Learning Teacher and is now used throughout West Lothian to help children with Additional Support Needs. However, it has also proved very useful for younger children, to help them choose something familiar for lunch.

Thank you once again for your support!
