Brrrrr! Playing football on a bitterly cold February evening takes a great deal of grit and determination. Bankton PS played Williamston PS earlier tonight. The final score was Williamston 5 Bankton 3. Bankton had lots of opportunities to score and shooting will definitely be a focus at next practice!
Well done to all players and many thanks to the brave, loyal parents who braved the Siberian temperatures. Mrs Murdoch is only just beginning to defrost and get the feeling back in her toes!

In Primary 6 we have been so busy this week!
Here are some of our reflections.
Aimee has enjoyed learning about Queen Victoria. She especially liked the family tree activity and finding out that Queen Victoria had nine (!) children and Aimee was quite surprised by this!
In Maths Katie has been learning about angles. She is proud that she can identify different types, measure and even draw different angles. Katie found the Kandinsky angle art particularly interesting. Kyle totally agrees. He thought he wouldn’t be able to do it but he could!
Kai liked learning Mandarin this week because he got to make a Chinese dragon to celebrate the new year. He was very surprised to learn they do not have wings!
Billy would like to find more about the Queen Victoria’s family. Jaymie wants to investigate more about Victorian life especially the late Victorians. Ben wants to know more about the inventions created in Victorian times.
Ewan wants to try harder in Maths when using compassess as he found this really tricky this week. Steph B wants to work on keeping her decimal points in the right place. Emma M wants to getting better at creating calligrams.
One top fact from this week is…
Steven : Queen Victoria became queen aged only 18!
What a fantastic time we all had last night at our Christmas party. It was lovely to see all the children dressed smartly in their party clothes – there were plenty of sparkles about! We enjoyed a number of social dances and then party games… Up and Over proved a popular (and highly competitive!) choice.
Many thanks to all the children who came along and also to the many teachers. Mrs Balfour and Mrs Thomson did a super job announcing the dances and Miss Dunne could easily become a world famous DJ with her skills!
There’s not too long to go now at school, let the Christmas Countdown truly commence!
