Dragon’s Den Presentations

March 1, 2016 Mrs Simpson Leave a comment

Today Primary 6/7 shared their presentations at West Lothian College in front of the 3 teams from Greenrigg Primary School, 3 teams from West Lothian College and the panel of “Dragons”.

All of the teams came prepared to deliver their presentations with clear, loud voices and made lots of eye contact with the judges. They really did themselves and the school proud.

A team from the college won over all with a bed time story book idea. Stoneyburn’s Team Silver Sparks came a close 2nd place.

All the judges commented on how professional Stoneyburn’s presentations were. I am very proud and impressed at how well Primary 6/7 presented themselves today. Excellent work. 🙂

P6 Transition Day- Bridges

February 29, 2016 K Gardinier Leave a comment

Greenrigg Primary Six pupils came up to Stoneyburn Primary today to do some more work on our transition project- Bridges.

We spent the day looking at Scottish bridges and where they are in Scotland, how they are built, what they look like and finally we created some bridges of our own- inspired by the bridges we had looked at in the morning.

The children all worked together very well, in mixed groups and all had a lot of fun.

Take a look at our Twitter pages for more pictures of our activities from today @greenriggps @stoneyburnps

Thank-you to everyone who came to our sales event on Friday. P6/7 were delighted with the number of people that turned up and made some orders of our products. We will aim to get your products to you by the end of this week.

We have now sold out of our name plaques and “Shape It” games.

We have lots of keyrings still available to order so if pupils wish to order one, there will be another opportunity to order on Wednesday 2nd March. Pupils wishing to order a keyring should bring their £2 when they come to order it.

Thanks

Busy Week

February 26, 2016 User deactivated Leave a comment

This week we want to tell you about something that happened last week. We were invited to P1/2’s musical day. They had been learning lots of different things about sounds and beats, and at the end of their busy day they wanted to share their learning, we were the lucky class chosen. We had a great time, they told us a story with lots of musical bits in it all the way through it. It was brilliant!

“My favourite bit was the twinkly stars bit” – Aimee

“I liked the way they kept the beat using different things” – Alfie

“The sound of the waves at the beach was my favourite bit” – Keris

In Maths we have been learning how to make numbers ten times bigger. We had fun talking about it and trying different ways to do it.

“I was worried at first, but then I found it easy” – Cory

“It’s good to talk about using different ways to find answers” – Fraser

Rachel is still helping us to improve our football skills. She plays games with us to warm up, they are fun too.

On Thursday we went to the hall to watch P5 and P6/7 put on a performance for us about internet safety. They all worked very hard, and warned us about how we use our computers, what sites we go on, and about passing information on.

It has been a busy, hard working but enjoyable week.

Health Achievement Wall

February 22, 2016 Mrs Simpson Leave a comment

The Health Group have been busy setting up our Health Achievement Wall as part of our Pupil Voice Groups.

On the wall is a section to celebrate sporting achievements outside of school. We would like pupils to bring in their new sports certificates, awards or trophies when they receive them from their after-school clubs. Their picture can then go up and be celebrated on the Health Achievement Wall.

The Health Group are also looking for flyers or posters for the wall to promote links to local sports clubs.

Basketball Festival

February 19, 2016 Mrs Simpson Leave a comment

Yesterday Primary 6/7 attended a Basketball Festival at Whitburn Community Centre. We entered three teams into the event and were playing against teams from Greenirgg, Polkemmet, Whitdale and Fallahill Primary Schools.

Each team played in 5 games and competed in a mini-league on their court. At the end of a very exciting and well-run festival it was announced that Stoneyburn Team 1 game 3rd on Court 1, Stoneyburn Team 2 came 2nd on Court 2 and Stoneyburn Team 3 came 1st on Court 3.

The pupils and I are very excited and proud of these results. We have been working very hard on our Basketball Skills in P.E. and this hard work was clearly shown yesterday. The pupils knew the rules of Basketball well,were excellent team members and represented our school with high standards of behaviour.
