Netball Festival

Leave a comment

Well done to all the boys and girls who competed in the recent Whitburn Cluster Netball Festival. We got off to an excellent start winning 3 out of 4 of our games. The boys and girls were a credit to the school demonstrating an excellent standard of behaviour and sportsmanship. We are looking forward to our next festival in February!

St Andrew

Leave a comment

This week Primary 6/5 have been learning about St Andrew. The boys and girls worked in pairs to research the Saint then used the facts they found to make a poster about St Andrew using the software package ‘comic life’. We found out lots of interesting facts- Did you know St Andrew was born in Syria? Let us know if you’re doing anything special to mark St Andrew’s Day on Sunday!

Meet our Junior Active Schools Coordinators-Nathan, Ellie, Ryan, Taylor, Harris and Elise. Together with Mrs Monahan, Mrs Bradley and Mr Boatman (Active Schools Coordinator) they have formed the Sports Committee and are working hard to make improvements to Physical Education in our school. This term they have been busy running a lunch time sports club for Primary 3 and 4 pupils and will be offering a sports club to Primary 1 and 2 pupils in term 3. They have also arranged for a score board to be put in the gym hall for use during class lessons and after school clubs. We will be applying for a school sport award which recognises excellence in physical education and school sport. You can read more about the school sport award at http://www.sportscotland.org.uk/schools/school-sport-awards/

Winter

Leave a comment

Over the past few weeks the children have been drawing pictures to represent their own personal story. We will continue to do this and maybe even write a letter to Santa 🙂

We have been very busy doing different art and craft activities for our Christmas Fair.

The boys and girls are learning their songs for the nativity on the 17th December.  Keep singing at home and working hard. Next week everyone will find out what part they have in the nativity and some children might have extra lines to learn.

We have been enjoying hearing Winter stories and Percy the Park keeper.

This week our favourite activities have been:

Using the bricks to build a tower – Brendan

Playing in the house corner pretending it’s a restaurant – Kamia

Lego – Mackenzie

Drawing a house – Kimberley

Together Time – LIGHT

Leave a comment

This week our Together Time was about LIGHT! We thought about how light was important to us in different ways, such as dressing bright to stay safe during the dark winter nights, how light helps us to grow through absorbing vitamin D and can alter our mood, plants needing light to grow to produce oxygen for us to survive, and Hindu and Christian stories about the importance of light in religion. It was an action packed assembly for sure!

To link to this, this Friday is DRESS DOWN DAY! Our theme is bright colours. Colourful clothes, shoes, accessories and maybe even hair will help to promote the messages discussed at Together Time. It’s Time to get creative!!
