Over the last few weeks, Boghall Primary has been taking part in Outright – a nationwide celebration of child rights. 20th November 2014 marked the 25th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
In 1989 the global community made a set of commitments to children when it adopted the convention, which states that all children have one thing in common – their rights. As a Rights Respecting School, Boghall Pupils have been raising awareness by carrying out different activities in class.
As part of Road Safety Week, the Junior Road Safety Officers ran a competition for each class in the school. The tasks were differentiated throughout the school and all pupils were asked to participate. The quality of the work was outstanding and the JRSO’s found it difficult to judge. Below are some of the winning pictures. Well done to everyone who took part and also to the winners.

P7 went on a trip to the Lady Haig’s Poppy Factory in Edinburgh. They got the chance to learn about WW1 and WW2 and experienced an interactive workshop where some of us got to dress up as soldiers! We met the ex-service men who work in the factory, learned about the history of the poppy and then got the chance to make some poppies. We felt very lucky to have had the chance to visit and it was a very worthwhile learning experience.
To celebrate the 25th birthday of UNCRC, P2b designed balloons which showed their rights.
Yesterday, Primary 6, Primary 7/6 and Primary 7 presented their business ideas to Derrick Findlay of 1st Choice Living in Bathgate. Derrick came as a potential investor and was extremely impressed with what he saw. He said the children were all very confident and could see some stars in the making! After listening to all the pitches, he decided to invest in every single business! Everyone involved should be very proud! Now time to start selling…
The Boghall Primary netball team participated in their first festival of the year this week. It was held in Boghall and teams from St Marys, Balbardie and Simpson came along. All players really enjoyed the afternoon and Boghall came third. The points will be carried over to the next festival, held at Simpson Primary in February.
Thanks to all those who attended the recent evening. Presentations and examples of pupil’s work were shared.
The main themes of the evening were ‘Growth and Fixed Mindsets’ based on the work of Carol Dweck and ‘Mild / Spicy and Hot’ – our differentiated tasks. We hope this will help parents by giving information on what you can do to help your child make maximum progress in everything.
Freya’s mum (Freya is in P3) won the the £20 voucher for Boghall Butchers and 4 other families got vouchers for lesser amounts also as a ‘thanks for attending’ prize.
Thanks to all who turned out on such a dreary night and well done to the boys and girls who attended and behaved so well !
In Primary 2 we have been learning about weather. We created freeze frames of different types of weather.
