Open Area Fun

Leave a comment

We have been playing in the open area and discovering all the new activities that have been developing our senses, literacy skills, climbing skills and lots more.  Abby enjoyed using the letters in the water to spell her nouns, verbs and adjectives.  Matthew and Reece were making a spider mountain in the sand.

Blake and Joshua had lots of fun in the water tray playing with the foam. Blake said that if we could feel clouds this is what it would feel like.  The foam made Bryoni think about the snow and how she could make a snowman.

We are going to get a dark tent and lights put into our area after the Christmas holidays we can’t wait.

Ralph the Reindeer

1 Comment

Congratulations to all the pupils and staff, particularly Mrs Croser and Mrs Murphy, for their FANTASTIC Christmas show of Ralph the Reindeer. The acting skills and singing skills were outstanding and clearly showed how confident our young people are. Thank you also to Mrs Hendrie, Miss Benson, Mrs Woodhouse and Stephanie for all their help backstage and in preparation for this event.

The primary 3 pupils also put on a brilliant performance and their wonderful singing filled the hall with melodic sounds. Thank you to Mrs Campbell for all her hard work in preparing the children for this.

Christmas Art Club

3 Comments

The Primary 1  & Primary 2 children have been very busy helping to make the nativity setting.  I think we will all agree the children have accomplished an impressive stage setting for our nativity.

Mrs Denholm, Mrs Benson and Mrs Woodhouse have also done a super job displaying the children’s work.  Many thanks to all three ladies for their hard work and dedication.

I would also like to say a great, big thank you to Mrs Maxwell who volunteered her help in the Art club, so that every child who applied for a place was able to obtain one.

Also a big thank you to Mrs Wilson for donating large rolls of paper and card.  We have put it all to very good use!

Finally I would like to wish everyone a very happy and merry Christmas.

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!

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/

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!!
