Friendship Spot

Mrs Hesketh has very kindly been busy making a new friendship spot for our playgrounds.

This lovely sign is already up in the infant playground and will soon be introduced into the other playgrounds too.

Children whose friends are off school, or are still eating lunch, can go to the spot, and can find new people to play with.

The primary 1’s have particularly loved this. They have all been keen to share stories of finding new friends or playing with someone who didn’t have anyone.

We are looking forward to hearing many more lovely stories.

P1b are Fantastic Friends!

We have had such a busy day today! We have been learning about what makes a good friend in primary 1b.

Safaa – ‘We have to play nicely’

Mya – ‘A good friend is nice to others’

Mia – ‘Friends are kind’

Freyja – ‘We have to share’

We listened to The Rainbow Fish story, and we were able to discuss why he didn’t have any friends at the beginning of the story, and how he made friends at the end.

We then sat next to our friends on the carpet. See how happy we are when we are with our friends?

After this, we made friendship certificates to give to our best friend in the class.

We also used our finger prints to make a class friendship tree, which Mrs Baty is going to display in the class. It looks very pretty and colourful.

Fun in the sun for primary 3’s school trip!

P3 had an amazing day last week when we went on our school trip!  As we have been learning about different cultures and food from around the world, as well as keeping our bodies healthy, we visited some local restaurants to sample some different foods and learn about how to make our own meals! We had great fun and would like to thank the Harvester Grill and Pizza Express at Livingston Centre for letting us visit! I’m sure we’ll all be back soon!

When our visits were over we got back on the bus and traveled to our local park Stewartfield where we enjoyed a picnic in the glorious sunshine! We played rounders and races and then enjoyed an afternoon walk back to school!

We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to Nia’s mum, Ruby’s mum, Hollie C’s mum, Owen’s mum, Esme’s dad and Kieron’s granny for joining us on our trip! We hope you had as much fun as all of us!

Fantastic Friendship Assembly

Article 31

We have a right to relax and play with our friends.

On Friday Primaries 3 and 3/2, after many rehearsals and lots of hard work, showcased their assembly on the theme of Friendship.  Every child in each class had an important part to play and we all worked collaboratively to produce a fantastic show!

We were nervous before the assembly but in the end we all really enjoyed it. –   Leo

The assembly was fantastic and my favourite part was when Anna jumped out of the cauldron.  – Ethan

I was proud of myself for saying the rap all on my own! – Elise D

The message in our assembly was to be kind, caring and loving towards your friends and to make sure that everyone always feels included. – Shaelyn

Our teachers were very proud of us and said that we were all very confident individuals on the stage.

The video of our assembly will follow shortly….

Friendship Fun!

As part of our assembly preparation we made friendship necklaces in class. We used food colouring to dye pasta tubes to make it nice and colourful and left it to dry overnight. Then the next day, we put the pasta tubes through the string to make vibrant necklaces for a friend in our class. We have been talking about the importance of friendship and have discussed the qualities a true friend should have.

Our ‘Friendship’ assembly is on Friday 16th May and we look forward to showcasing all of our work!
