“Right of the Month”

1 Comment

As a school we are working towards Level 2 for Rights respecting Schools. We have decided to introduce a “right” to focus on each month.

Article 12

You have the right to give your opinion, and for your adults to take it seriously

 This article says we have the right to have our say and help make decisions.

In school we watch Newsround and share our opinions and discuss recent news. We make sure we listen to others opinions, take them on board and respect them.

Learning to give our opinions now will help us to be more confident making decisions in the near future.

There are a lot of things in our school that lots of pupils agree and disagree on so we let every pupil say what they think.

Things you can do at home:

* Watch CBBC Newsround

* Look at newspapers with your parents

* Discuss news with your family and give your opinions

P1-7 Literacy Open Morning

1 Comment

This morning parents and carers were invited in to see what we have been doing in literacy. Mrs Gibson shared the school’s approaches to literacy with a short presentation in the hall. This looked at different ways we learn about literacy and how they can help their children at home. Parents and carers were then able to go and visit their child or children’s classrooms to take part and share in what they are doing for literacy, with reading as the main focus. This gave a little taster of the kinds of things we do and how they can continue this at home too. Please have a look at some of the photos. There was also a leaflet given out about ways to help your child with reading at home. There are extra copies outside the office.

STEM Challenge Bins

Leave a comment

Each class have a selection of 4 STEM bins. There are 8 different bins altogether. These bins are tubs that contain 1-2 materials such as lolly sticks or cubes. They also have some starter challenge cards like ‘can you build a maze’ and ‘can you create a bridge to cross a 10cm gap’. The children can then work on their own, in pairs or in small groups to use the materials to build, lay out and create something to solve their challenge. The feedback from the children is that they love these and enjoy making their own challenges. It is great to see how different children will tackle a problem in such different ways and really show off their ideas and creativity. Next time you have a few empty boxes or tubes at home, set your child a challenge to use them to make something to solve a problem.  p3-stem-bins

Church Workshop ‘In My Father’s House’

Leave a comment

Today, primary 1, 2 and 3 participated in workshops run by the church. We had great fun making glasses (P1) snow globes (P2), houses (P3) and bracelets. We then listened to Mary telling us some stories about finding God and Jesus and about Heaven. Pastor Ian told us about the Good News Club on Thursday evenings at 7pm at Greenrigg Mission as well as Sunday School (on Sundays!) at Bernhar Church in Eastfield.

West Lothian Foodbank collection

1 Comment

Over the last 3 weeks we have been collecting food for the West Lothian Foodbank.

We have collected food for people who are struggling to buy and get hold of food.

We had to bring food that can stay in your cupboard and don’t go out of date until next year.

The winning house was Baillee who collected the most food and won 500 house points. Kelly were second with 250 house points and Dardenelles with 125 house points.

We’re very proud of the amount of food we’ve collected especially as we’re not a big school.

FUN FOOTBALL NIGHT

A huge thanks to Sibbalds for the donation of our superb trophy and medals for our football fun night . Also to all our parents, old and new, who came and supported our  night at Greenrigg  park and played football.

We all had an amazing time and the final was a huge success between the oldies and the school football club, who won the trophy . This is on display in our cabinet at Mrs Millar’s office .

What a superb community spirit we have! With lots of support from family’s donations, we have been able to buy our football club new strips. This could not be possible without the help of Mr W Swan and our parents.  Our strips are ordered and with the money we had left over we  bought lots of super toys for us in the playground. We also bought 2 new sets of goals,football socks,balls,whistles, a football bag,bicycle helmets for our scooters and a brilliant air pump . We will post pictures off our new strip when it arrives.
