A massive thank you to our wonderful parents who came along to our final football club. Your support was very welcome and we all had a great time. There were some very close scores and tough competition.
Thank you for our spectators and a big thank you to Robert Marshall, Brain Laing, Colin Rogerson, Kirsty Cunningham and Kevin Buntin for playing football with the pupils.
Hope to see you all at the next one. Have a lovely Christmas break.

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.
Well done to Mrs Bradley and the pupils for achieving their green flag renewal. 
Primary 5/4 and Primary 6/5 are enjoying learning to play Last Christmas on the ukulele. Our singing is amazing and we look forward to performing for you at the Christmas service.
This week we have been learning all about Sudoku. We used number puzzles first and have now had a go at Christmas picture sudoku. Have a look at the puzzle and see if you can work it out with someone in your family.
We have started our broach making with hama beads for our Christmas enterprise and are very excited about selling them at the Christmas fair.
In our literacy we have been challenged by playing Boggle. Look at the picture below, see how many words you can make in one minute. the challenge is a 6 or 7 letter word.
Finally we have also been busy designing our hall displays. Adam and Jades designs were chosen to be created for the hall. All the pupils have worked very hard and been extremely creative.
Primary 3 have been getting ready for our Christmas Fayre. They have been really busy making lots of cards. We are also looking forward to our assembly on Thursday 18th December, so we have also been learning songs and words for this.

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/
