We had a wonderful day for our Sports day last Thursday and the rain stayed away for us!

The potted sports was much fun and the teams were great at cheering each other on.  The overall winning team was Cockleroy 2 with 345 points.  The overall house winner was Knock with 963 points.  The pupils from Cockleroy 2 and all the pupils in the Knock House will receive 5 minutes extra break today.

Thank you to all the parents who joined in with the adult races.  It gave the children a good laugh!!  The winners from the children’s races were:

Flat race: Isaac R, Finn, Lilly, Joe, Phoebe, Matthew F, Holly, Louis, Rebecca, Alex McH and Emma

Finally, thank you to all the parents who came out to support the children!

Thank you to everyone who came to see our Art Exhibition.   The children produced fantastic pieces of work and showed such creativity.   Also, there was much excitement over the teacher art work too!

We are glad to announce that the Art Exhibition made a total of £118.50

Thank you for your support!

The Global Group would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated a backpack to Mary’s Meals this year. There were 20 bags collected today, filled with essentials for a child to go to school in Malawi. We would also like to say a special thank you to Mrs Murray who gave up her time to sort out the rucksacks ready to be collected today.
At such a busy time of year, your efforts and kindness is very much appreciated. This is yet another reflection on how generous our school community is.
Thank you again!

During our transition time last week, P3/4 decided to make a song using the words of our school vision.

Merryn: “P3/4 have enjoyed singing the song that we made up.”

Kathryn: “We had to try and get the chorus right first then we had to learn it and learn it so we knew the words.”

Sophie: “We started off with ‘At Torphichen Primary School, together we learn, Love to Excel, Achieve, Respect and Nurture’.”

Elliot: “It was difficult to try to figure out the last part of the verse because it wouldn’t fit into the song.”

Andrew: “It was hard to remember the words but I’ve got it now.”

Alexander: “I want to teach the rest of the school so that everyone knows it.”

Oskar: “It was hard to put together but I enjoyed doing it. I’m pleased with the end result. The music is fun.”

We are going to try to record our song and put it on the blog to let you hear it.
Please ask your child to sing it for you at home.
