Day for Change

March 2, 2015 Ms Monahan Leave a comment

Thank you so much for all your amazing donations for Day for Change. Your spare change has really made a difference and will help children in Syria and the Philippines whose lives have been effected by war and natural disasters. A massive congratulations to the whole school for raising a huge £264.33, although the pupils did bag up the coins so we are probably a few pennies out (this will be a fun trip to the bank)

So, huge congratulations to Primary 2 for being the class winners. You will get your treat out of class with Mrs Monahan next week!

Thank you to the Rights Respecting Group who came up with the ideas and helped to make the day a success.

March 1, 2015 Ms Monahan 1 Comment

We are all very proud of our school football club who have took part in round two of the Whitburn Primary Schools Football League. Out of 6 games we won 4, lost 1 and drew 1. Keep up the hard work and training. Football club is finished for now until after Easter. We will be having another fun night on Wednesday 4th March, parents are welcome along to join in.

Big well done from Mrs Monahan, you all represented your school so proudly. You all had great team spirit and played excellently. I was so nervous for you all and loved cheering you on. I was very impressed they way you spoke to the other teams and were making new friends.

We shared our learning about Scotland in our assembly. Poppy-Grace was very shy at first but then she spoke in a strong voice all about the Loch Ness Monster! The children were amazing. Thank you to everyone who came along to support us.
