Halloween Dress Down/Up – Friday 30th October

Halloween is a little different this year and to make it special we thought it might be fun on Friday 30th October to have a dress up/dress down day where children can wear a Halloween costume or just come in their own clothes.

2 Rules

No full face masks

No football colours please

Please note there is no payment for dress down-day.  We would normally collect for the local foodbank, however under the current climate this is not possible at this time.

Fortnight Fitness

Dedridge Primary School – Virtual Fitness Fortnight 2020

One of the highlights in our summer term is Dedridge Sports day!

This year our sports day at school cannot take place, however it doesn’t mean that we can’t have some fun!

For 2020, we will have our very first virtual fitness fortnight from the 8th – 19th of June and our first virtual sports day on Friday the 19th of June.  The results of which, should still give us a winning sports day (fortnight) house!

Each day 3 challenges will be set for all pupils to try out. These will be sent out by your teacher on Teams or SWAY and I have created on PowerPoint slides. I will also post these on the blog each day.

Practice each challenge and then record your best score. Send us your score or a video of you trying out the challenge to your teacher my email louise.sellar@westlothian.org.uk by 3:30pm each day.  This will allow me to calculate the scores for each houses! I will update each morning what the scores are from the previous day so you know how your house is getting on!

Don’t worry if you have forgotten your house, I have this information.

At the end of the two weeks the house that has won will be announced. I will speak with Mr Todd about how we can let this out to you.

Try and complete as many challenges as you can and share your scores and videos, it all adds up to your teams score.

A surprise is coming your way on Monday, staff members will be delivering something to you to help with fitness fortnight.

Lastly, If possible in your next food shop please pick up any fruit or veg that you can create a healthy face for a snack! If you can’t manage on the day I send it out then you can always do another day!

The most important thing is however, that you have lots of fun and stay safe!

I look forward to hearing from you,

Miss Sellar

A special friend says hello!

Do you remember Veda the Therapet?

She came to school and helped a group of pupils with their confidence in reading. She would sit and listen to them reading a book and helped them to feel brave reading out loud. She has a message for Dedridge!
