One of our final events with Primary 7 was a sophisticated meal out at The Hilcroft Hotel .
It was a pleasure to take out such a lovely group of mature and responsible children …. with the exception of the photo call as you will see from the pictures!
Best of luck to all of our new first years at Armadale Academy.
Please note- a watch was left on the night of the Leaver’s meal- if it is yours please call into Blackridge Office where it is being stored for you. Thanks.
A massive thank you to all the people who supported our Sports for Champions Sponsored Event. We raised an amazing
£1431.18 !
60% of this goes back to the school and 40% goes to support Liam Davie in his bid to attend the next Commonwealth Games.
Blackridge has shown that it is extremely generous and supportive, but above all a proper community with great team spirit.
Thank you again!
Mrs Bell
Principal Teacher
Just a reminder that sponsor forms and money for our athlete challenge on Thursday 23rd June are due in by Wednesday 22nd June. The money will support school funds but also help fund a local athlete. Our allocated athlete is Liam Davie- who is a Commonwealth Champion and it would be brilliant for Blackridge to be part of his future as a world class athlete. Here is is a bit of background information about him-
Liam Davie is widely recognised for his achievement in the 2014
commonwealth games in Glasgow earning silver for Team Scotland!. Liam is
cemented in Scottish history as winning their first ever Commonwealth
Games team gymnastics medal.
Liam 21, from Cambroe Lanarkshire started gymnastics when he was 10
years old at his local club which his older sister also attended. He
enjoyed going along after school and didn’t take it too seriously at
first, meeting up with his friends there and attempting back flips!
He kept at it and he first realised that he had progressed from having
fun with his friends to professional level in 2009 when he came 3rd on
high bar under 16s category at the British championships.
He started to take gymnastics more seriously and after a lot of hard
work training 4 nights a week for 4 hours a day, Liam went from strength
to strength and soon had a string of titles under his belt!
PLEASE NOTE-If your child raises between £5 and £15 they will be presented with a photo card of the athlete. If they are able to raise between £16 to £34, they will be presented with a poster of the athlete. If they raise £35 or more, they will be presented with an autographed instant photo of themselves alongside their GB athlete in a keepsake wallet.
We understand that not all families are able to raise money and therefore stickers are awarded to every child so that no one is left out.
An engraved trophy will be presented to the class that raises the most , so that everybody can work together as a team to win the trophy!
Thank you for your anticipated support in this event.
The crew had an amazing time at the disco. Here they are all dressed up and looking very much smarter than they
have all week!
All the teachers have taken various pictures which we will collate and post on the blog on our return.
See you soon!
Here are some pictures from our activities so far. More to follow.
We are having a brilliant time and pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone!
We’re here! Safe and sound. Look out for pictures being posted throughout our stay!
Just stopped at Gretna . Lunch in the sun! Back on the road now . Will update when we reach Kingswood .
Primary 7 have recently created a stunning batch of Easter cards to send to our troops in Afghanistan.They also sent some tasty Easter eggs which were most gratefully received.
The soldier’s wives picked the most artistic cards from all of the schools who sent cards and three of our pupils won!
Many thanks to Lynn and her colleague who joined us from Co-operative Funeral Care to present the prizes to our winners.
Co-operative Funeral Care very kindly donated the prizes for the competition.
Very well done to our pupils of the week ! We have two week’s worth of successful learners and effective contributors who have caught their teacher’s eye!
Congratulations to our Primary 7 Pupil, Lee, who was awarded some very much appreciated Amazon Vouchers from Police Scotland, for his excellent Internet Safety Poster. The poster was created as part of our Safer Internet Day work at Blackridge.
He designed a detailed character to replace a profile picture which reminded users about all the aspects of staying safe online. He entitled his poster ‘Safebook’
Inspired idea Lee- Very well done!
