A huge ‘Thank You’ to everyone who managed along yesterday to support our P2/1 class for their Pirate themed assembly.  They absolutely LOVED sharing their learning with you!  Each and every one of the children taking part worked hard to learn their parts and demonstrated many of their skills that they have been working hard to develop this session, in particular; confidence and courage!  It’s not an easy task to stand and perform and present to a large audience but they were fantastic, I’m sure you will agree!

What a busy term Term 4 has turned out to be already!

Since being back after the Easter holidays, lots of fun things have been happening for us.  Here are just some of our thoughts:

This week P1 are looking forward to seeing their friends from P1 from Greenrigg for their last transition day this session.  We will have visitors from the SSPCA and West Lothian Council’s Waste Aware Team to talk to us about the effects of litter on wildlife and the local environment.

P2 will be joining their friends from P3/2 and the P2’s from Greenrigg and will be enjoying a trip to Mill Farm.  We can’t wait to hear all about it!

Today, the boys and girls had the best afternoon creating their own pizza masterpieces with Mrs Howard.  Pics to follow!

Please remember our class assembly is on Wednesday at 2.15pm.  We hope to see you all there.

Although it has been a short week, we have still done lots in primary four and have been very busy.

We loved seeing baby Archie at Roots of Empathy this week and how excited he was to see us all. Here are some photographs of us with him.

Please note that all children in P2/1 were given cards yesterday with their lines on them for their assembly next Wednesday afternoon.

Although we have been working on these in class, it would be much appreciated if you could go over these with your child so that they feel comfortable saying them and can say them in a loud, clear, confident voice.

Please send in cards each day so we can use them in class.

Thank you for your support.
