This morning, we’ve had a request to remind all girls aged between 5 to 7 about becoming a Rainbow, as part of the girl guiding network. The 1st Stoneyburn Rainbows meet every Wednesday at the Community Centre between 5.30pm and 6.30pm. If you, or someone you know would like to play games, make new friends and have great adventures then why not pop along? You’ll be made very welcome!

Keris Simpkins and Ben Black had to interview Mr.McDermott to see what he thought about the lost property.There is to much lost property andpeople should be more careful about what they own. He thought that if we put it on the blog that the parents could see it and be aware of it.We had to take photos of the lost property and we think that the children should get a chance to reclaim it. We sorted it all out to put it on the blog. We should tell the grownups and kids about it.

The parent child homework project encourages parents to get involved with their child’s learning. It is important for parents to work with their children to design and make whatever task is set. Parents should allow the child to come up with their own ideas as much as possible. The children really enjoy this type of homework task.

We interviewed people who went to sport events in our school. Demi Colligan who came second in the Cross Couyntry said, “Oh no. I wanted to give up, but my proud heart was thumping. I was amazed at how well I got on”.

Tanya Green, who won the race, said, “I was excited. I wanted to do it for fun. I was proud and exausted, but I kept going.”

Nathan McGraw had fun at the swimming gala where he got 1st place in all his races.

Taylor williamson was nervous, scared, had butterflies in her tummy, but still got 2nd place in backstroke.

Here’s what p1,2 & 3 thought about the cooking bus. Some think it was fantastic and some think it was good. The primary 1 children made fruit muffins and salad. Primary 2 made pie and cous-cous with veg. and peppers. Some felt happy and excited and some felt sad and bored .

Every year, the goverment conducts a survey of children at p4 and p7 in either numeracy or literacy and children are selected randomly from every primary school to take part. The purpose of the survey is to track how children’s performace varies from year to year and to identify the areas of the curriculum that children are finding difficult. This year,we have had 6 children selected to take part in the survey and, for the first time, some of it is being done over the internet, on GLOW. This is quite an exciting develoment and could pave the way for similar suveys in the future.

After learning in assembly today that the Olympic Torch Bearer passing through Broxburn would carry his load for 300 metres, our Primary 5/4 children wanted to know how far that actually was. So, they got out a trundle wheel and measured it out. Where do you think they got to from the school gate, travelling West? Answers in a comment, please.
