Primary 4 have worked really hard this term researching life in a castle and the Scottish Wars of Independence. They have presented their knowledge by making posters, leaflets and Power Point presentations, giving talks and by writing stories and play scripts. They have also videoed plays and a puppet show and built beautiful castles.

I hope we can find a way to share our videos.

Text term we will visit Stirling Castle and Linlithgow Palace so lots more history to look forward to.

Last Saturday the Deans Cluster Brass ensemble performed in the Perth Concert Hall at the Scottish concert band festival. The band performed to a very high standard and were awarded a GOLD award. Meldrum Primary School had two pupils involved in the festival – Megan Millar and Ciara Colquhoun. Well done girls!

P2/3 have been following the ‘Chess in Schools Communities Curriculum’ to learn how to play the game.  At home they have been transferring their skills to play with parents and grandparents.

On Friday, March 10th four of our Primary 6 pupils represented the school at the West Lothian heats of the Euroquiz 2017. This year our team was made up of Hannah, Paul, Stewart and Aidan. The pupils have been studying very hard learning about European countries and capital cities, artwork, landmarks and geographical features. The questions were very difficult and we are very proud of their hard work and enthusiasm. Well done!!

Well done to everyone in the football team for another win today! The final score of 3 – 1 against Livingston Village Primary means that the team have won the first two games in the league. I am very proud of you all for doing your best! Keep it up everyone!

What a great week we had during Meldrum Book Week! All classes were reading lots of new books and learning about different authors. At our assembly on the Friday we shared all the things that we had learned including pictures, poems and songs.

Thank you to the parents of Primary 1, 2 and 3 pupils who came into school to read with the children. It is great to see the library being used and we will be repeating these opportunities in the future.

During book week we had competitions in each class. Primary 1 – 3 drew their favourite book character, Primary 4 and 5 wrote a book review of their favourite book and Primary 6 and 7 designed posters to share information about using the library.

The winners are:
Primary 1: Lori
Primary 2: Abdullah
Primary 2/3: Ava
Primary 3: Jake
Primary 4: Morgan
Primary 5: Murren
