Primary 6 are moving rapidly ahead with preparations for the school’s very own credit union.

We will be telling the whole school and our parents how this works at our class assembly next Friday 8th March at 9am. All P6 parents and families are invited to attend.

Application forms have now been handed in for the jobs available and we are eagerly waiting to find out who has been selected for interview.

Application forms will be given to all children following this assembly and the credit union will start in school after the Easter holidays.

More information to follow!

This week our class attended a basketball festival at Whitburn Community Centre. We were split into 3 teams and competed again teams from other schools. We did really well and we did the school proud!

For money week, we have been looking at the Cost of Living. We made money week menus and worked out the cost. We also looked at needs and wants.

As part of money, primary 6 are also working with Blackburn & Seafield Credit Union to start a credit union in the school. At the moment, we are applying for jobs and we will be launching the credit union at our class assembly on the 8th March. P6 parents are invited to this.

Primary 6 are about to begin working with the West Lothian Credit Union to set up a school credit union to encourage children in the school to begin saving.  More information will be available in the forthcoming money week and we hope to have this up and running after the Easter holidays.
