A Successful Afternoon

December 2, 2015 K Gardinier Leave a comment

Our Stoneyburn Netball Team did themselves and Stoneyburn Primary proud this afternoon when they came 4th out of 6 teams playing in the Whitburn Cluster Netball Tournament. They won one game and drew two out of the five that they played and they worked together brilliantly as a team!

They are now on a well deserved break from training until after Christmas but this was a great way to finish our Winter term training. A big thank you goes to Mrs McKay for helping us out each week at our training sessions and also to Mr McKay who drove the minibus for us today and allowed us to get to the tournament! We are really lucky to have such great parents support in our school and really appreciate all that they do for us.

Congratulations again team- you we are very proud of you!

An emotional day at Stoneyburn

November 5, 2015 K Gardinier Leave a comment

Today, after 30 years of service, we said a tearful goodbye to our dinner lady Mrs Connell. She was a bit reluctant at first to come in to say cheerio to everyone in the hall but Stoneyburn staff and pupils said a lovely good bye to her before lunch was served today.

Mrs Connell received beautiful flowers from the boys and girls at Stoneyburn, presented to her by her grandaughter Madyson. She was presented with a book full of pictures and memories of the school and the local community and more flowers arrived from Murrayfield Kitchen Staff as she used to work with the team there in days gone by. The families of pupils from the school, many of whom had had Mrs Connell as their dinner lady when they were at school, had contributed to a collection for her. This was used to buy her a beautiful pair of earrings and these were presented to her by Mrs Cotterell, one of Agnes’ very good friends. She received many other beautiful gifts from staff and pupils and this showed how much she was valued as a part of the Stoneyburn Primary School Community.

We wish her all the best for a long a happy retirement and hope that she won’t be a stranger to Stoneyburn and we will see her again in the future.

Armistice Day Remembered

November 11, 2011 User deactivated Leave a comment

On 11.11.11, Stoneyburn Primary School held an Armistice Day Assembly to commemorate and remember those who have given their lives or have been injured in wars throughout our distant and recent history. At 11.00 a.m., everyone in school observed one minute’s silence, along with others throughout the nation, as a mark of respect and an act of remembrance of the 8,500,000 who died in the Great War of 1914-18, and the many millions who have died in wars since. Primary 7 pupils have been involved in the ‘Poppy Scotland’ campaign to raise money for helping injured ex-servicemen currently re-building their lives after fighting in wars in different parts of the world. The assembly and period of silence were poignant reminders of the sacrifice others made so we can enjoy the lives we do today.
