Attending:

Mr George Paul  (Councillor)

Miss Shona Redmond (Parent Council)

Miss Alison Benson (Junior Road Safety co-ordinator)

Apologies:  Mrs Kathy Gibson (Headteacher)

The meeting was held in upper school wing as the children went through their power point for the Civic Centre which they will attend on Tuesday 12th April at 9-30am.

Mr Paul advised the children to wear high viz vests to the Civic Centre .

Mr Paul also invited the children and staff who were going to the Civic Centre to the café for juice and cake which he will kindly pay for.

We have to take two children from Baillie Avenue to represent the school.

The children were advised to say their names before they speak their part of the power point.

The children have to have their own paper work for each of their speeches.

Emma’s speech has now been added to the power point and she will rehearse it before we go.

The meeting went well and Mr Paul and Miss Redmond gave the children lots of feedback regarding their speaking .

Thank you

Miss Benson.

P2 visit to St Andrew’s Church, Harthill

We walked along to St Andrew’s Church in Harthill to learn more about the Easter Story from Mr Kennedy and Mr Topping. Mr Kennedy showed us the church books recording meetings, marriages and lots of other interesting information dating back over 100 years. Alasdair read a verse from the Bible about the Last Supper. We all had a chance to ring the bell with Mr Topping, Adam pulled on the rope and it lifted him off the ground!! We finished off a lovely visit exploring the church with a drink and a biscuit. Aiden said the visit was amazing. We would like to say a big thank you to Mr Kennedy and Mr Topping for all their hard work today. Thanks also to Mrs Woodhouse for supporting us on our visit.
