P4/5 Roman Assembly
At the P4/5 Assembly Adam and Kirsty opened it with a splendid performance speaking and translating Latin half right half wrong! Then Alfie came as Julius Ceaser and got killed by Douglas, Jacob and Matthew. After Alfie got killed the students sang the Hadrian’s Wall song. Then the students stood up and said an interesting Roman fact each
, after that Izzy talked about the contriburnium while Chase,Alex,Skye, Theo, Pheobe, Lewis, Murray and Alexander played the contriburnium, marching around the room. To finish Alfie came out and thanked everybody for coming then he got chased around the hall by the contriburnium and the soldiers.
Lovely to have you here!
Primary 3/4 were delighted to invite their friends and family into the classroom after their Ancient Egyptian Assembly. It was lovely to have you here! It was also lovely to see the children sharing their learning with such enthusiasm. Here are a few photos of the morning.
Thank you for coming along!
Skiing Competition
Well done to Marcus Miller, Martin Miller, Euan McCartney, Silvana Donaldson, Theo Donaldson and Alexander Fox-Roberts who took part in a Skiing competition on 15/3/17 at Braehead.
What a great, but long and tiring, day the children had. Mrs Miller shared that the children showed great determination and energy and lost track of how many runs they had on top of the timed ones. The only reason Theo and Martin came off the slope was because the piste basher was coming out!
Below is a list of how the children ranked overall:
Silvana 25.21 (rank 57 out of 79 girls),
Euan McCartney 23.19 (rank 44 out of 93 boys)
Alexander Fox-Roberts 23.99 (53rd)
Theo Donaldson 24.46 (58)
Marcus 26.63 (74)
Martin 27.65 (80)
Also we came 25th out of 29th in the school team ranking – an improvement on the last one where came joint bottom.

Scholastic Book Fair
Scholastic Book Fair
The Scholastic Book Fair arrives on Thursday 23rd March in school and will be available until Wednesday 29th March including the the evening of parent’s consultations.
The Rights Respecting School Committee group working with Mrs Telfer have made it their ‘quest’ to build our library and book selection. They have set a target of £600. If we sell £600 worth of books we get 50% of the total sales back to spend on books for our school. For every 2 books we sell we will get one free!
The RRS group have also come up with a reading quest competition. Each child in the school has been given a challenge to read as many books as they can between Wednesday 15th and Monday 27th March. To keep track of this they have been issued with reading quest booklets.
On each page children should complete an a short review for every book they have read. Then have it signed by an adult in or out of school and return the completed book to school by 27th March. There will be a £5 book token up for grabs for each class PLUS the opportunity to win a further £5 token for the overall winner.
Your support with this project would be much appreciated. If you would like more information please access this link: https://bookfairs.scholastic.co.uk/
